Quite day today , cannot believe itβs 5 years today since my transplant !!! Forever thankful to a man I never met π I accept it can be a controversial opinion but I think organ donation is a wonderful thing, my brother had a liver transplant that prolonged his life significantly, I've already told SWMBO that anything they want when I'm gone they can have, (if nothing else it'll make the coffin lighter, ππ) Nigel

I have just caught up on this after a loooooong time out of the RR loop.
First and foremost I am incredibly happy to see your health has improved so much with the transplant. As mentioned by others I too am a donor card holder, they can break me for spares when the time comes!
The car is looking fantastic, your recent show award is well deserved! You mentioned an engine and ECU upgrade, how is that coming along?

Awesome bikes. I like these sporty naked bikes. Are you tidying your wife's bike's back side as well? I mean changing the tail lights, plate and indicators. Like you have done on yours?
Cheers

Yes I would like to fit a tail tidy but she will not allow me too at the moment !!! Been trying to convince her it will look better but she is not convinced !!

Pleased and thankful for your transplant.
We should all look at organ donation as a first line and βopt outβ should be the setting, so that more access is made for saving lives when they are lost.
As always, love the green.
And the bike gets a big β
Have fun, be sensible, be safe.

Now that I've registered to comment, I've been rereading threads. Just wanted to say that if I was pressed to pick a favourite thread, this would be it.
Nevermind the porn plastered through it (I rest my case with the post above), it's just so inspiring.
We see your car transform from a looker to a stunner. From sporting credentials to sporting competition. And winning too. And best of all, reverting back to a road car. It's a petrolhead fairy tale!
Seeing your health see saw through all of this made it all the more emotional. It's great to also see your transformation through your recovery, with the car and you being like ying and yang during the adventure.
May you continue enjoying life Sir. For a long time too.
P.S. What's the bike like for throwing around? Looks fun:D

Well unfortunately after years of fighting the odds I have caught Covid π I guess I always expected to catch it due to being on the immusupresants but after 2.1/2 years I thought I had got away with it ! Been pretty poorly over the weekend and my new kidney has been a bit upset but feel a bit better today , been out in the fresh air which was good . Hospital have advised to sit tight and stay out of trouble , unfortunately Dawn down with it as well so I guess we have no choice but to behave ! Hopefully be better for Christmas, on the upside new Noble cams are done π

Well that was a rollercoaster read. I was expecting a car build thread, and what we all got instead was a life story. A proper good read.
Fingers crossed the 'rona buggers off soon.
