Totally understand, the zed can be a drain on resources. That's really bad luck about the points for hind head, you must have only just popped over the limit, you did fly past me on the exit though so I expect that's where you got it as I watched that 70mph limit like a hawk.
Be sorry to see your roadster go but needs must, but remember my passenger seat will always be free for you for meets, that is unless of course I find myself a stunning young blonde in the intervening period. My car won't be quite as loud as yours though
