        Nice looking car .... it wasnt called " Stanley" by any chance , looks like it could've been Nick Williams old car as the car looks good enough to be Stanley.

        Hiya Jeni

        Long time no see since Rockingham RSOC when you parked up next to me. Certainly got LOTS off attention with people swarming round your motor. Put us to shame you did lol.....
