I’m back!

[MattV]

There isn’t a section for returning users, so thought Startline was probably the best place to put this.

For those of you who don’t know/remember me, I’m Mat and was a member here 3-4 years ago - used to have a green 1.8 Zetec before Covid job loss forced me to sell.

For those of you I have met up with previously - hello again, can’t wait to see you all. 
 

My partner will confirm I’ve been a right miserable and grumpy sod since selling up, and so delighted to report that I’ve finally managed to rectify the situation. 

Introducing the Jaffa Cake. A 2.0 Duratec SEiW

Deal agreed today and will be collected this coming week at some point. 
 

I’m based South Lincs, towards Peterborough.

Looking forward to one of your run outs to some cake at some point @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative  and @AndrewBClarke.

Will be in touch with you too@Martin Bell - (Bellyboy) East Anglia AO as I think you’re my closest AO?
 

Thanks

Mat

Love the plate! I tried to find a Carrot related one but couldn't find anything really good.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome back. 
Car successfully collected today and 170 miles home (to do a journey that’s only 90ish). 

Covered in sun tan lotion, bugs in my hair and slightly deaf, but very happy!
