Well i am sure many will see it as a sad reflection of how i spend my spare time :oops: i joined up never for a minute expecting to be here 7 yrs later & 20k posts :cry:
In reality its been nothing but a pleasure , learnt a lot along the way from guys way more mechanically & technically gifted than i could dream of being & hopefully shared some knowledge back .
Met some great people , many of who have become genuine lifelong friends who id love to have as my neighbour but unfortunately are spread across the Uk
Had a few fall outs along the way too :roll: but i hope nothing ever personal & nothing more than just difference of opinion .
No Z for me right now & sadly that situation unlikely to change but until i can wean myself off the best motoring forum i know i'l be here a little while longer :thumbsup:
