Hi

I joined a few years ago when I had a 1991 BG. I gave the car to my friend George as he was really really stuck and his wife needed a motor to get to job interviews. They kept the car but it sadly my friend couldn't afford to keep it going, and I already had 4 cars so couldn't take it back.

A kind soul on here took the car in and gave it a new lease of life. I'm really sorry but I can't remember for certain who it was, I think it was Marc with the RX7 (Paragon)?

My friend George showed me pictures only last week from the new owner who has done a fantastic job cleaning and polishing, the paint had gone all pink but now its strong bright red again. New wheels, exhaust and all the trim cleaned up too.

I have a keen eye on the road for unusual cars and this morning I was on the M42 going west and saw something pointy in the distance coming the other way towards the M40, yes pop up lights! YES its a 323F, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS my god I caught a glimpse of the number plate ending YHV and it was exactly as my friends pictures showed, trim freshly blackened and dark grey wheels on. Couldn't believe it!

Whoever it is (apologies again I can't remember but I'm sure I've chatted to you before) well done and thanks for keeping my old motor going, I was sad that George couldn't keep it running and I just didn't have the room or they money myself to take it back.

regards

Dave A
