Are you stick kicking about in Wakey? I remember having a good chat at the northeast meet that we arranged years ago. The one just after me Packs and RedVTS had replaced my brakes. And I had do bail 10mins in and call the AA as one of the calipers was loose and binding

That's a really nice pictoral VX life story. Thank you for sharing it.

 

I thought there would be one with you with a baby-bump and another "Whoops" caption at the end :)

 

If there's a moral to this, it's that "stripes come and go, but shiny paint is always in fashion".

Good guess, actually my wife is expecting - she's already 1 week past due date and booked in for induction on Friday!
