four midnight sessions this week.....she will look lots better for her 50th birthday outing, not like some of your beautiful restored boats but with some patina, largely original and we love her

Got my CMBA mag yesterday and a fine piece of literature it is :thumbsup: it is time I contributed again so better think what. I was absolutely gutted when I tried to get the video link for a proper petrolheads video of the MK55 with fantastic exhausts.....all I could get was this video is not there...
