As John says Will is very close so it makes sense all round really, I would think it's him unless Neil is bringing Goldie out of hibernation?

Really.. Good for you... Ahh. Hence the boot repainting! You could eat your dinner off that engine bay, so no surprises it was chosen.

Many Thanks. I was quite surprised myself. I don't have any details yet, Russ the tailgate was already going for paint, I just put it on hold until the strut tops were given the all clear.

Yep, no greater fly in the ointment for people who hate shitroens than to wheel out what is commonly regarded as the most unreliable French car produced in the last 30 years with over 200k on the clock looking fresh as a daisy.

I like it.
