Happy Birthday Nitric!

Post by Doggy »

My trusty steed was born 10 years ago today in a Sochaux, a little known backwater of Franche-Compté, near the Swiss border.

After a childhood dogged by congenital respiratory problems, this little beauty underwent a FAPadectomy last year and has since gone from strength to strength. Having now completed 96.5k miles, it's almost run in. I'm impressed with the economy of late - a little over 45 mpg has become normal.

I washed it for the first time this year, last Sunday. :oops:

Does that mean you're not 100% sure of Mrs Doggy's birthday?

Jesus, I'd be a dead man walking if I forgot my boss's - although I have to admit that September 11th isn't an easy date to forget...
