well done now you can enjoy the pleasure of driving it, mine brings a smile to my face everytime I am in it. People think I am demented because of the permanent grin (perhaps I am LOL)

I intend to live forever.....so far so good

not around next week, Harris, we will have to schedule some time in December 8)

Aupickup you are a superstar :D

polo and leyther you don't seriously think I am driving the van around in the state it was in in Alex's video, do you? It has progressed ever so slightly since then, ya know! :roll: :lol: you cheeky monkeys :wink:

Just got back from a trip to ESM to have the cavity wax injected and the underside sprayed with Dinitrol, three-hour job, have loads of pics and tips from Steve who was kindness itself 8) and as far as i can make out, touching wood like mad, the van ran extremely well (a two-hour round trip).

Am now so tired i don't remember what day it is or my own name.... night night everyone 8)

It would be great if you could join us on next years LEO Wibbs. We have not yet had a van take part, and to have yours would certainly turn some heads.
