Default 18 yrs Old Tomorrow

Yup, my Baby will be 18 years old tomorrow . She was only 3 when I got her back in '06 - never dreamed I'd still have her all these years later

These cars certainly get under your skin!





So looking forward to the return of breakfast meets and National meets when things return to something akin to normal .

Cliff

It's very easy to see why she's your pride and joy.

I've only had mine 13 years or so but it's become the most reliable car I have ever owned.--It's true these cars are so nice to look at and I'm like a lot of the owners to often, after parking it, to turn around and look at it.----At my age it's possibly the last car I'll ever own.



PS. I noticed where you live. I spent most of my life in Hanworth and Feltham and know the area where you are very well. The country and the river side are really great.

Thanks guys . By a strange coincidence, it's also a year go that I had all the engine work done. She's nice and quiet on start up now, but with all the Covid restrictions, she's only done 810 miles in the last year . Can't do her any good to sit idle so much, so this years plan is to use her far more .

My last job before I was retired was at Feltham, where I shared an office with a chap from Hampton. Small world!
