I just had a look at my log book whilst sifting through paperwork, and I bought mine 10 years ago!

Also found an mot from the time and I've only done about 6k miles in that time Embarassed

Ive had my estate just over 6 years. Used it for the first year with a 20xe fitted then took off the road to sort the leaking windscreen seal out which has ended up being a full on resto it didnt really need.

9 years now. Only driven it 500 miles. Embarassed

Although I can account for those years fairly accurately its hardly an excuse.
Not given up hope. It shall be at Oschesleben!

Got my estate 15 years ago (past my test when I had this, just worked out I've done one 560k miles since my test with only 2 minor bumps that weren't my fault ether lol )
Got the SR in 2001 (about 40k done in that but I've lost track after 3 sets of clocks)
And the blue one over a year or so
