And good luck!
He's not leaving the Forum but he's leaving the UK and in the process of moving to Malta (SCUK malta roadtrip planning time
)
And yes he's driving there in the SJ, here's a pic of him approaching the Alps.
he's having quite an adventure it seems and also killed his clutch somewhere in Italy

Hi All,
Havent had time to sort out any pictures yet, had to wait until 5pm for the clutch (frictione) replacement to arrive, the bloke is now doing up the battery terminal and Im away.
Personally Im glad I broke down in Turin rather than in the middle of the Alps.
Its been almost shorts weather here in the daytime but up there, there was a lot of snow!
Will update with pictures when I get the time!

So long Malteser! If I could I'd swap places with you, have a blast in tax free Malta, and keep in touch!
If it ticks over...leave it
