Any pics of this 40 year old by any chance ?

Happy Birthday Rancid !!

Great achievement well done on the MOT date too. If you let the MOT expire by one day each year you would be able to keep it to the 14th..... or is that a bit crazy? :lol:

Pics would be great too. 8)

I used to be in the blue t25 panel with hydraulics, we always managed to grab the same plots at malvern each year.
