You'll have to forgive me if I imagined this, but didn't you sell this before, then regreted it and ended it up buying it back again?

[blacktulip]

True but times change and I am thinking about getting another one that I can play about with. I don't want to mess with an early mk3. Maybe my next one could be a daily for me. Just toying with the idea at the moment
