    Ooo yeah i am actually! October 2003 wow, only a month after my 190 then (she came off 35th week irrc)

    And even better being an ex member, so sounds like she's looked after then, just the words i wanted to hear. Im fairly happy with the part ex price on mine, so its up the bank tomorrow see if i can sort the ol finances out....

    It certainly proved that our beasties could take a fair old ragging without anything major going wrong!
