39 on the inside - look like 49 on the outside - birth certificate says 58.

Not going away though. Hopefully my self employed consultancy will bear fruit.

Very best of luck with the new venture stealth, maybe even time to get the bike out for a couple of trips before the weather turns for the worse. Just think, no more scrambling under truck's n trailers in the rain!
I have my days on countdown so when it's a poor day I can always cheer myself up wwhip

Maybe even tell Mrs stealth!

Well done!

Perfect time to take a break. Get yer bike over to the island, the Classic TT (ex MGP) starts this-coming week end.

I'll be busy doing Site Assessments, QC checks and unannounced reinspections of recently tested vehicles for the foreseeable future so some things won't be changing lol
