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.

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

Fine here, what are you using to look at the forum? They seem to be hosted by Google though, not uploaded to the forum.

And I've realised that it's travelled only about 1,000 miles since then and only 20 miles since the last MOT 7 months ago!
