The time has come to bid a fond farewell to my little Puma, now in the care of it’s new owner the brave little car will give up it’s vital organs to give life to a Fiesta track car.
I only bought it as a little run around for the winter and it served its purpose very well. I was very pleasantly surprised by the little guy, but I’m preaching to the converted, you already know how good they are.
In terms of depreciation and maintenance it’s been free motoring, I bought it for £500 ran it for 6 months and sold it for £525, the only mechanical repair it required in that time was a set of brake shoes. Where else can you have so much fun for 6 months for free!!
Given the frequency with which I change cars it’s quite likely I’ll be back in a Puma some day and I’ll make sure it’s a good one next time (might even wash it) but for the moment it’s back into the MGF for fun and a (yet to be determined) large saloon for family taxi duties. (thinking of X or S type Jag, any opinions?)
Thank you all for the warm welcome, good advice and friendly banter, I’ll keep my account open and pop in from time to time just to catch up, I have to say, it’s been a blast!
Cheers.
Phil.
