Why Did I Sell My Stagea?

[RubyRS4]

As some of you guys are aware, I sold my Stagea several months ago. Most people had guessed I had another toy lined up ... I mean, why would I sell my pride and joy right?

Well its certainly not another turbo Nissan I've replaced the Stagea with. Sometimes, there are much more important things in life than toys.

This is what I sold my Stag for:

My wife Tracy is 3 months pregnant!!! Its an IVF baby too. And as most people would know, IVF is certainly not cheap. My wife and I have been on IVF and trying to have a child for a number of years now. We've also been doing an extension to our house, and we'd been dipping into the funds for our house extension, to pay for some cycles of IVF. The money was going to run out inevitably, so I made the gamble ... and my gamble paid dividends. After nearly 15 years, years of IVF, and a divorce (ex-wife told me after 10 years she didn't want kids) I'm finally having my first child.

I WILL be getting a new toy in the near future ... but for now, my Bluebird is doing just fine.

Big congrats!

My wife just hit 6 months (holy crap, only 12 weeks to go!). I bought a Stagea because of it

GL with everything. Hope you have a worry free pregnancy!

As you know, big congrats from me to your family.

My stag is for sale; my focus on uni (& future career) is more important than a nice car.

Congrats ruby, good to see ya happy mate.

Cars come and go, but ya family is what's important.

Who knows, maybe when the baby comes, you can get one of those soccer mum m35s

[GoldZilla]

Congrats, Ruby!

I've heard how expensive an IVF program can be, and even then there's still no guarantee that it will be successful, so I'm glad it's worked for you and your wife!

[Grungle]

Congratulations Ruby!

My wife is at 36 weeks...I can confirm (as many other can no doubt) that a baby seat fits nicely in the back of an M35.

I may regret the tan leather however...

[one more chance]

Great stuff mate..

Here is another father joining the club.. my missus is 32 weeks..

unlike you i bought the M35 because of our bub.. PERFECT family car!

congrats!

Congratulations!

Forget the material things in life, bringing a new life into the world is far more important.

We have 2 (kids that is) and 1 Stagea in that order.

I sold a sports car to start a family and get a mortgage- 10 years on I have absolutely no regrets!

I can always get that sports car again, but won't replace the kids for anything (the wife is another matter ha, ha)

[KiwiRS4T]

Well done. Best wishes for a trouble free birth!

Hoping all goes well mate, just had our first addition in November. Sold the v8 coupe for the m35 (soccer mum) baby seats fit well. Pram and great Dane do also! Good luck with it all, crazy first two weeks I tell you!
