welcome 

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Re: Newbie from the Shire.
Welcome Arcangel (fan of Airwolf, possibly?)
I'm based in Aberdeen myself (though I'm from Thurso, waaaaaaaaaaay up North).
I bought my V-reg 406 LX last year in damned near mint condition, with only 27k on the clock
Had to go to Lossiemouth to pick her up. I now have 39,500 - so am on track for doing 15k per year ...
Pics of mine are in the link in my sig.
