  • Listen to a dull man stood alongside the A30 and on a railway station platform saying a fond farewell to a much-loved car. Contains tips of the hat to Kurt, Simon and Garfunkel.

    For that person that is wondering, MMR has gone through her MOT. So at least another year of superb wafting and feeling superior for me. Mountains of gratitude to petrolblog for being a stirling chap.

    Absolute pleasure to meet you. A true gentleman and a fantastic car. She will be very well looked after don't worry. Hopefully we can meet at Haynes or somewhere. Keep up the good work.

      @@Andrew.bergin Definitely a wise idea to keep out of the centre of Bristol full stop especially with those death wish e-scooters everywhere, although I can't escape them in north Bristol either!

    By the sound of it, you seemed a little bit disheartened at the end of the video, but it kinda feels that it stayed in the family in the wider sense, so it leaves a bittersweet taste. Good luck to this pretty girl.

    Really sad to see this car leaving the fleet.
    Hopefully the Barley Gold Safrane will serve you well in its place. If I recall the gold one is a 2.5 isn't it?
    I reviewed a 2.5 exec a few years ago and it's an impressive vehicle.
    You were actually parked only a few rows behind my Mégane coupe last year at FOTU but sadly our paths didn't cross on the day.

      Yeah, although the 2.5 has the sweeter engine, the 2.0 offers a more relaxed driving experience.

      Incredible is absolutely correct. The car is all Petrolblog described and more. I feel very lucky and honoured to be able to continue her life.

    The incessant traffic noise of the A30 and soulless vista of Exeter St David's are a sad reflection of modern life. Let's get back into the sanctity of your barn as quickly as we can!
