[Again] Saying Goodbye

Hi,

It was very disappointing for me to have to tell you guys this,
also a shame for me to have to say that I have once again part with another 1M.

This short fling VO, was the first track day I had with 1M, it was wonderful, glorious, I felt everything and the one 1 thing I love about it, it's rawness and road feel.

this was part of my departure for the states on this summer,
can't tell much,
but 1M will always be one of my most favorite cars to drive, to look at, to sit in no matter how much my friends around town dislikes it (yes weirdly it happens to me).

I will for sure purchase another one again when I settle back to Indonesia later on, will leave it in stock, what a dream. I guess just like some of you said, life after the 1M.

-

everytime i saw it on the internet, here, seeing clarkson topgear s17e01 over and over again it gave me this awful feeling of letting go this car again. and it is very sad, gives me the fear of will not being able to obtain one one day.

I will be back guys, not soon. but I promise.

credits to all of you guys who have been part of this automotive journey for me, for making this forum feels like my ultimate home (still is).

Jay. Good luck! It was comforting knowing there was someone else like me that missed THE ONE. Best wishes. If you end up in San Diego we should get a beer!

why not store it?

you might find one, but whatever you buy in the future you can't warranty it will be in such good condition.

for four years, I am afraid 1 car is already pain in the ass to take care of,
will be back maybe around twice a year.. but still
anyways its different here, people won't drive their car much, they just kept them in the garages..

the only thing I am interested is seeing it's price value in 4 year..
will it rise or go down..
