Of course now I remember. I've no idea where the Duster went though.

The Duster had sat for many years when somebody found it and made a start on sorting it out, I sold the guy some parts maybe 15 years ago I can’t remember who or where….

Was that the ‘bird that Jason owned for a while, forever searching for a bench seat?

I remember driving it to the DVLA office in Romford to register it, I asked the girl if I could have a 6 digit reg and she gave me XMD 44M. Good luck with that in these faceless chat bot days.
