I'm gutted. My beloved Baur has gone, it's being used as a donor car to help another Baur live on. Mine served me faithfully and flawlessly for nearly three years until the cam belt snapped and several of the valves bent.
I traumatised for months over the decision, but finally accepted that it really was throwing good money after bad to fix her: she needed a full bare-metal respray and a ton of welding, new suspension and Recaros.
I nearly had a fit when I added up all the invoices, though: I'd already spent FIVE GRAND on her over the years. So when a couple of well-dodgy looking norf Lahndahn blokes offered me 'alf a bag for the car, I couldn't really say no.
And so she's gone, but all my memories are happy ones.
