Contacted by my SE9's 2nd owner
« on: September 08, 2010, 19:59:22 PM »

I got a PM yesterday from a guy, who signed up after finding a picture of my SE9 on flickr.com. He messaged me to say "oh my god, this used to be my car"!!

He was the second owner and owned it from 1999-2002.  Coincidentally, his name is also Mark lol !!

Found out a few new bits about the car, like it had the gearbox changed at 16k, so surprisingly, the gearbox i put in it, wasn't the first replacement it had had!!

More interestingly though, he uploaded a whole load of photos of my SE9 when it was 4.5 years old.

niceone, always good to get history on a car and a fellow owner to show his love for a car he once owned.

like LammysAllyHeaderTankScam said, does he regret gettin rid?
