Thanks Rich and Domi
Sorry Rich, I mis-interpreted when you said when you “get your doors open”

Haha, no
It was part of a photoshoot for a local synth wave band called Taurus 1984.
That was at an airport.
And another one at the airport....

Well just a week ago 11477 passed her 3rd MOT.
No advisories I might add
Still going strong, still used regularly and have now covered just over 5.000 miles since purchase in 2018.
She’s now on 20,000 all documented miles - and having checked her carfax - it all checks out.
(Original angle drive still operational when I took ownership too.)
Anyway. I digress. I’m still over the moon with 11477 and still get a kick seeing my car spotted about the Internet after going shopping!!!
Case in point:

it doesn't seem possible that over 2 years have gone by since you and your dad called in... Such a lot has changed since.
It's later than you think folk....make the most of each day is my tip.
Great to see you still having fun with it Tris.

Yes Chris, over 2.5 years.
I echo Chris’s sentiment. Make the most of each day. At only 40, I was taken into hospital just under a week ago with a suspected heart condition!!!
So make the most of each and every day.
Tris.

It’s been a while - it’s been a tough year and a half for me!
But, I’m still here and #11477 is too.
New callipers installed last year was all that was needed.
This year, just a service. And she’s motoring well.
Still living the dream……
