... SHMBO tells me she's pregnant!

This has made me think seriously about my +8... and I feel it has to go.

My mind isn't totally made up yet, I need to see a local sports car garage that has heard about the car and project and would "offer me a fortune for the car". Hopefully, his idea of a fortune is the same as mine!

Just need to tweak the rear end, as it is bouncy as hell over bumpy roads... as in my arse is thrown off the seat! The Panhard rod is as close to the axle as possible, if we can't improve the ride, it will have to come off.

Starting to feel like the project was a little... spend

If it does go, it won't be my last... hopefully the new +8s will be a little cheaper when I am next in the market.

Don't get spooked too early. Sit down, and take a few deep breaths and consider all the options...................

First, Congratulations!!
Second, the new Aero Plus 8 has a far, far better ride than the Trad +8!!

Just wait what mother nature does........, and to be honest, I don't see why you have to get rid of your Plus8, maybe it proves you will need it more and more.....

Listen to the more experienced and somewhat older TM'ers on this forum....

And by the way, congratulations! cheers

So piano, piano, piano! Ciao

I'll see how I feel in a week or two, no need to rush into anything.... it just got me thinking, what if someone did offer me a "fortune" ?

You could always trade it in against a Silver Cross pram and 5 years of a Norlands Nanny wink

Just hang on a minute it could be twins and you'll be glad of something to escape in then...
