Default Wot should I do???

to cut a long story short, I'm just into the 3rd year of a 3 yr contract in Germany, and my lovely Stratos Lookalike is sitting in the UK . Missus vojx wants to stay an extra 2 yrs, AND that I sell the Strat . So I've 2 real alternatives 1) i let it sit for 3 more yrs rusting away, or 2) I sell it. The bodywork is hacked up, so resale value is miniscule . I know you're all impartial chaps, so wot should I do??

Take the car over to Germany.

Seeing what you have done to the car it would be a real shame for you not to finish it.

I agree with ex-biker. what bike does Missus vjox want-- a motor bike or push bike if its the latter get a flat pack one that she can lovingly build with the help of poorly translated instructions. Then you could help her and give yourself brownie points which you can cash in on getting the car to a lock up near to you in Germany where you can spend the odd hour or 2 "preparing the Strat for maximum sale value" once complete she would never let you sell off your dream car in which you spent sooo much time developing. Also if you paint it a nice colour and put in comfy seats you could go off for drives out ( to the Ring) where it will be admired by many.

OK, thanks guys: I came up with a few decent designs for the Alien over the Easter hols . Transport over to Germany may well be cheaper than 1-2 years garage rental in England , but it's that shedload of 'important stuff' thats the tricky part to transport / relocate.

I really should sulk in private.

Sulking in public only means that other get chance to change you mind.

After all, a few big boxes and a nice courier should sort out the 'important stuff'.
