Thanks guys!
The speed at which this happened, and the number of coincidences, is very remarkable, I think.
As some of you may have read in various posts, I've been gearing up mentally for this for a month or more, while tidying up the car for "showing."
I the last two weeks, I got serious about going with BAT and spent a ton of time making and uploading videos, plus dozens of photos.
I submitted those last week and was assigned a BAT guide who wanted to connect. So, things were looking good.
THEN, just this past Tuesday, competition popped up - on BAT - in the form of a virtual (though 4 speed) twin, with similar provenance. Note that the first BAT commenter said, in effect, Oh no, not another blue TC auction? So, now, I'm pretty bummed wondering how long it will take before it makes sense to put mine there. Thinking about eBay maybe?
BUT, and I'm not making this up, less than an hour after seeing that other car pop up and while still bummed, I got a text from a guy in CA who saw an ad I placed on Lotus LTD - months ago, (actually forgot about it.)
This was still Tuesday and I sent him all of the stuff I'd assembled for BAT. Also spoke with him and felt it was probably legit. Lots of back and forth, and then on Thursday his wired funds showed up in my bank account.
The rest I explained before, but yesterday, if my Dr. hadn't cancelled a scheduled physical appointment, I would have not had time to react to this "instant" car hauler appearance.
What a week!
And, yes, I'm already finding a lot of help with the TVR forums and FB pages. And I'll need it.
Also, I'll try to put some updates out from time to time on the OT forum here.
So, not an official good bye, which would take a lot more time in order to thank everyone here for all the help and comradery!
