It is not a "busy" forum, especially at this time of the year, when many cars are off the roads and no events taking place.

But at least the stuff posted in here is "quality", unlike some of the inane posts on many forums ;) :D

Well said Malc, I for one am not doing much as my car is tucked away in the garage under a nice warm blanket.

Had a play with some vinyl wrap on the back of my mirrors, but that’s more than enough in this weather lol.

This is it. All forums are generally quiet these days aye. But as said, the content on here is very good quality and some really good info on here.

I've been quiet in my most as my car is an hour away from my, making is difficult :( . I do see your posts! I just don't want to comment the same thing every time :lol:
