Valiant dilemma - long post
Great stuff George, thanks for the thoughtful reply. I know what you mean about the time being right. That's definitely what I was going through when I sold my Belvedere. After almost 10 years of it being incomplete, I couldn't even look it at anymore. It felt like a millstone around my neck - it was definitely time to move on. I don't regret selling it at all and I was actually relieved to see it go down the road.
What might be holding me back a little is the fact that my wife and I had such a good time with it at first, she gives me that hang dog look when I talk about selling it. She's OK with whatever I do though so if and when I do sell she'll be fine with it.
