Just been rereading this thread; I wonder how Growler is these days.

Anyway, 8 years later, just had the old motor collected for a service/MOT. Still looks like new. Although I'm not allowed to drive at the moment (medical reasons) I'll probably keep it as it's not going to be worth much if I sell it. Low mileage, only did 399 miles since the last MOT; Lockdown and illness saw to that.

Tempus fugit   noooo:

Never mind, shame though.

Car just returned. Garage owner interested in buying it as his missus has mobility problems and with the siding door rear doors and no central pillar it's easy to get in and out of.

I'd suggest asking Nick to get in touch to see how he is but I suspect he's suffering enough under the lockdown  whistle:

I'm thinking of selling Kia-Ora next year... She'll be 4, have 3 years manufacturer's warranty and 2 years MoT (plus some new tyres)...

Cars from the UK have become 'spensive post-Brexit so I reckon I could get a good price...  rubschin:

I know I held onto the Shogun for too long (16 years)...
