Parting is such sweet sorrow.

Well the last days of my ownership of the MOONSTONE BEASTIE are fast approaching.

SIR TAM of SHOTTS [rotrex] has found me a nice low mileage CDTI AUTO TOURER and it sailed through it's MOT today , sir tam will be taxing it on monday and as soon as i get it insured i will take possession .

My moonstone beastie has been a great servant and iv'e owned it for 3 and a half years .

This will be my 3rd 75 and most likely my last so here's hoping for many more years of owning the marque.
