Re: Reasonably new member in Norfolk.

Thanks for the advice.I have had many of these SJ'S and Vits over the last 25 years but not had one for around 8-9 years and i think i've forgotten how horribly they drive when they've had a few mods :).

Re: Reasonably new member in Norfolk.

One new MOT on it today,Hoorahhhh!!.
