Hopefully mine's in the queue as well, it's nearly 2 years since MJ did a quick "assessment" on the lift while we were on the way to the 2019 meet and confirmed my oil cooler pipe is on the way out.

Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

A couple of pics I grabbed. This qualifies as a mini meet...socially distanced of course guv'nor

Melange is a stunning colour in the flesh Neils 8 is probably one of the cleanest I've seen over the years. The paint and body are flawless
