I've been in America since the New Year, and I get back mid way through June. I miss driving it, but my bank account is glad of the break

Im getting on for 4 months now, it really does feel like forever since i took her for a spin!

3 years 1 month. My own fault (and an inability to diagnose a fault quickly enough!). Then more developed and now it's awaiting a resto. Time booked off for first week in April though so hopefully start making some proper progress.

On the plus side, *fingers crossed* I'm getting another one this coming weekend!

Too long

[Frank the Tank]

28 Years - but then I finally bought one.

Longest now is approx 2 Days whilst I was on the Gas for a works do.

Fortunately whilst I repair mine I have the use of the wife's.

Mine is just over 3 1/2 years as it is currently mid restoration. It's getting to the stage now that it is being prep'd for paint. Hard to resist just saying "that'll do" so i can drive it again I've only owned the car for 5 years, spent most of it ripped apart and in the garage!
