Default DESTROYED.

Crashed and destroyed my 89GT an hour ago. I'm fine but the car is not salvageable so this will be the last you hear from me. Thank you all for your support and encouragement through the years I've been a member of the board. Enjoy your cars, they are a passion well worth pursuing.

Kind regards

Colin Beard
Cape Town.
