Each drive could be the last - final destination, Halfords???!!! Plus Classic Car Weekly

Doing a lot of the "pop to the shops" journeys in Amy, because who knows, I may not have her any day now. She has been to Halfords many times before to get Oil, bulbs, WD40 etc.. But never photo'd there. She's been snapped at the Swimming Pool, the Kebab Van and Tescos - so why not Halfords. Although not an auspicious last photo if that is the way it pans out!

She was also featured on the cover of last week's Classic Car Weekly - I forgot to go out and buy that one, I had figured they had just passed Amy over because nearly a month had gone by since Brooklands. Oh well - at least I can download the pic for posterity!

The phone has rung more since she went up for sale in print, so there is something to be said for "old media" still,  the only problem being is they printed the wrong price. So although it generated lots of enquiries, the potential buyers were put off by her "crusty bits" - they were expecting better condition at that price.

I wasnt really thinking of doing anything else but placing her online, it was only because the guy approached me at Brooklands and did a feature, so I cant complain about the wrong price cos it was great to see her on the cover and it was free. So it's worthwhile considering good old fashioned newspaper ads - just get the price right!
