Stevie, it only 2 or 3 of years....I think. The V1LAN is 12 now with 92k on the clock and getting a bit tatty from day to day use so a clean up is in order come the spring.
I still love top down, though this winter and perhaps old age has curtailed it a wee bit. Look forward to seeing you at a club meet, you don't have to be a member to come along and all comers are welcome.
list of stuff here, most meets are on the first Sunday of the month, the runs are usually a good laugh
