    Shame to see TC go. I enjoyed the time I spent with him - all 10 minutes of it. 😅

    Cars to many people are not just a thing to get from A to B, if they were why would you spend so much money/time on it. But with "PCP" deals etc, I fear there is a generation who definitely don't feel like this anymore. But like Mustard says if you don't get this channel, you shouldn't be watching it

    Ahh Mrs Doyle in a Nightfire Red dress. What a treat for the peepers!
    I think you've done OK here. I wonder if this variety of tourer, being lower spec and value, is rarer than the 420GSi? A lot to be said for steel wheels and chunky tyres too

    Hello everyone, I'm the new owner of Toby Charles and I promise to look after her! It was mixed feelings for me as well for Paul because although I hadn't owned 'Mrs Doyle' for very long, I had become very attached to her, way more than I had realised until it was time to drive away. The Mrs Doyle Tourer is very likable and driveable and so I'm sure Paul will find things to recommend it. The logic is absolutely there to put the money set aside into TC instead given its rarity and spec, so this is the plan and maybe if Paul wants to, he can review TC's progress further down the line!

    Since this video covers the necessity for funds, I will reiterate my offer to buy the ignition blue extreme wing you have on the ZS previously owned by JM. I do recall from an earlier video that you don't like those wings anyway, so you might want to make some decent money with it. Just a suggestion 😊

    As sad as it is, you did the right thing. When you have a family, children etc., it's important to have strict priorities. Family first, everything else second.
    You did the right thing, and can have the knowledge that Toby Charles has gone to somewhere where it will be appreciated and cared for, not just used and abused.

    Well that was an emotional rollercoaster. Sorry you had to sell your prized 420. Been there myself in the past and it really is heartbreaking. I thought you'd managed to keep it up until near the end. Really hope more people would become channel members, just to take the pressure off. It really would make a difference to Paul.

    I didn’t realise it had still been for sale after one of your episodes when you said TC would be being kept. I’d certainly would have definitely made you an offer ££££. It’s nice to see you’re keep it though 😊

    This reminds me of buying my TF LE500, the seller did not want to sell at all. But after discussion, he decided I was the right buyer, as long as I promised to take care of it. That's how you know you're buying the right car from the right person, when they care like that

    Business is business 💵, understand the doubt about selling, but……. Another will need rescuing ? How about a video with you’re self and Allegro man sorting out you’re MGF ? Summer is around the corner ? Sort it’s dented Butt ! And soggy suspension ! Some good content and laughs we could have while you fix it 😂👍🏻

    @stephenlynch3411 6 месяцев назад +1

    I feel for you over this but needs must I guess. The only thing is, if you a short of funds again you'll be back to where you started but with maybe nothing to sell. Sorry but your a braver man than me.

    The other not to bad only thing it's a automatic gearbox but honda engine ok it's a low spec but be a cheap run around and being a estate filla the hole in the boot if you don't weld your self bet you got the bits to make it better and alloys to put on it main thing it's honda engine like I used to had you got another car and cash ok not as much but good mate
