I owned my 2.5CD for nearly 2 years then sold it to Kate when i bought the Beastie which i've owned for 2 tears but will not sell as i love her & if i sold her there is nothing i could replace her with for the money so i'll keep her indefinitely.
   My classics are a different ballgame, always chopping & changing. Is there a record for the Mig with the most OOF member owners? So far V6 Fletches is up to 3? :D

Maybe , but them two old  pre facelifts will be donated to my museum. Other OOFers will be able to visit and marvel at their longevity whilst on holiday on the Costas. No rusting here! :y
