Yes I'd like to move straight on to 2021 please, it's been a tough one so far with everything that's been going on, today is my first day back in the office which has took an immense amount of effort, I appreciate everyone’s support over the past couple of months so from here I'd like to think that I and my family can move on and look forward to happier days ahead, also get this Covid-19 kicked in to touch so that we can maybe have a coupé meet before the end of the year, that would be nice.

Aye Joe! can't add anything to that. On a selfish mode, I just got my Coop back in the nick of time, still safely tucked up in my garage. I do start it up & have a wee go near the garage though.


I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Yes perfect timing for sure Jim, I hope you're making positive progress with your recovery and you're not being tempted to do things too early....... pretty sure your Mrs is keeping a close eye on you wink

Yes annus horribilis has nothing on this, glad to see you "back home" again Joe thumb

Odd how the madness creeps in - last two weeks found me unearthing stuff from under the piano and getting involved with a job I swore blind never to attempt again

This time last year I'd just bought my coop, within 70 miles it cooked the engine and a £4k restoration began, 6 wks later I was made redundant, Roll on 2020 thought I, how wrong can you be!

So Joe, now that the lockdown is in full swing, how are things looking with the scam emails you're always getting? Are the scammers working overtime now?

Interesting - how does the polished mains-power fuel rail work? Surely it will need a bloody long extension lead if you go out for a drive, although I guess it will eliminate the voltage drop-off problem at the fuel pump....

Sorry coat

I have ridiculous amounts of spam to wade through, one that caught eye will be posted later, it's worth the read.

If some one can try turning 2020 off , and on again, that would be great.

I spend most of 2019 worried about cancer and money, now I get to spend 2020 worried about COV19, money, and still cancer (not mine) Its been better than Joes year that's for sure however...
