Default Bye y'all!

Well the time has come to leave you fine people as I have just sold my beautiful S4 to a nice chap in Melbourne. It will be a sad day when I deliver it for shipping from Southampton docks next week as I have enjoyed every minute of it, but it is time to move on (I have bought an Alfa Romeo ) due to my early retirement.

I haven't posted much but I have lurked a great deal and have learnt copious amounts that have helped me along the way, and I thank you all.

Good luck to everyone and I may well be back.

Cheers,
Willber

PS - I'm keeping the watch!

Yep, he's wanted one for 15 years, he fell in love with my black one with two-tone interior (I think it's quite rare). I'll try to get him to sign up here, it'd be good to keep track of it.

Is it sailing on Monday 12th?

If so, there'll be at least one more 928 on that ship from Southampton to Australia

PS - saw your car on Pistonheads and was admiring the piped seats with the different panels too (my '89 is all black with red piping)

Beautiful car. Bon voyage to it. You've been a good steward of it. Let's hope the next owner takes as good of care of it.

Wilber,

Bon Voyage to the car, and Cheers to you. So sorry to see you go from the 928 owners gruppe, but know the new owner will be very thankful for all the care you've given "his" new car. Looks gorgeous in the pictures.
What Alfa did you buy? I also have a '91 Spider Veloce with just 20K miles on it. Fun car - but not a Porsche 928!! - ha.

Cheers mate,

I got a 2004 GT - it's no 928 but is perfect for pootling around town, whilst being stylish and fun!
