My VVC coupe

[Ravinder_Tomcat220T]

Shame it's the end of the road for this car.
Quite gutted. HG has gone big time. Just really not got the money to do it. Or can maybe get the money but do I really want to spend so much after only sorting it at end of last year? It's currently sitting on the drive for the past 2 weeks looking sorry for itself.
Just got the turbo back on the road and now that is playing up!

The car should be gone this week coming. Got a potential buyer.

I think this is away now tomorrow evening. Got a potential buyer. Took some final photos of it. Bye bye coupe.

Always sad when you wave goodbuy to a car you like.

Think the Tomcat around our way ended up with a parking ticket stuck on the Range Rover tow car.

Did see it for sale the other day, so dosnt look like he sold it.

Said goodbye to the VVC coupe two nights ago. After it's 2nd hgf it was time to call it a day. Plus the arches were starting to rot away. She got picked up last night to be broken for spares. 7 years of ownership comes to an end. She has brought me many happy memories, none in the backseat unfortunately :P

Got the VVC coupe when I was only 19 as I needed a car quite urgently. My dad took my Corsa off me after a domestic so I was left without a car.
I remember when I first test drove it, I fell in love with it right away. I couldn't believe how quick it was. I was pinned right back in my seat (big step up from a 1.0 Corsa). This was by far the fastest car I had driven back then. I was completely anal about the car when I first got it. Always washed and polished it and it constantly looked clean. But over the last couple of years it had been neglected a bit.
I have to say apart from the time it skipped a tooth on the belt back in 06 and the HG going, it has been a very solid car. Never left me stranded anywhere.
I paid ?3250 back in 04 when I purchased it with only 37k on the clock. Up until a month or so back, it had done 110k. It's been my daily car used for work every day.
It was very sad to see it go. Almost shed a tear Time to move on I guess.

I have to thank you people for the advise and support I have had over the years.
Special thanks to Add, Stace, Jimm, Brad, H who have all helped me with this car.

Here's a few pics of her below. And a few pics from last night being taken away.

Shame it had to go, but at least it might keep others on the road.
