Isn't its birthday the day it rolled off the production line and the registration date/appointment of registration mark just the christening??

Mine rolled off the production line and therefore born at the end of December '79. But it wasn't christened until 18th March 1980. With its 35th looming in the next 12 months which do I celebrate??!! :?


Well I guess so in which case she was born about 23rd November 1983 a that's what is stamped on the back of most of the interior trim....

But the celebration was for it's introduction to the UK roads so I guess I can get away with January :wink: ....and celbrate both of course :thumbright:

Well done jon.

Ditchling is a great drive but must admit to tackling it at night for most fun.

Cycling up is hard work but almost as satisfying when you reach the top.


Definately too much like hard work on a bike......although I used to ride up there often on my Ducati...does that count?

Never driven own in the dark...that's one foe the bucket list....but I might wait until the current wether passes. :shock:
