Think of my three one is pretty far gone, but I'll see when I get them back!
Basically I'll keep the best one for this car, the worst one for the track car and sell the spare
@Dr Jekyll the car is just used everywhere daily and I don't really think about where I park it etc as it's 'just a daily' so try not to be precious about it. But it saddens me that human nature means some bugger did that and found it acceptable to drive off and leave me with essentially a 200...
Had her 12.5 years now matey, part of the woodwork :LOL:
