    No, not the wife.

    Tonight is the last night i will be part of this glorious club. Tomorrow, at approx 12pm, my M17xR3 will become the property of a very lucky person. Having lost my job and encountered some monetary issues, i decided it was time to part ways with my friend whilst it still retains some resale value. Sad, sad times. I will mourn with a few rounds of BF3 followed lastly by a techno party courtesy of AlienFX.

    I'd like to thank all of you for the advice given over the last few years. Amazing people, amazing forum.

    Farewell!

    Ditto. Still, no reason you can't hang out here once in a while and hop back on the horse when things turn around. Wish you the best of luck in finding a job soon - I know just how much this country (UK) sucks right now....

    Just think of it as a pause, followed by an opportunity to upgrade.

    In the 70's, people here in the U.S. went through the same thing with their muscle cars. Except the car they sold in '72 to pay the rent still kicks everything else's butt, and is now worth hundreds of thousands of dollars! So they pay through the nose to re-acquire them. At least you won't have to worry about that!

    Good luck!
