Theres 3 local members on here, myself, d4ve, and Nibs, I'm not sure if Rod s is still active but he was Walpole way, shame if he's not as he's had some good input to the forum over the years.
If I can assist with anything (when normality resumes) just shout.

Still around Shane but not very active for other (personal) reasons.
But If I see a question come up where I can have a meaningful input (esp. technical stuff, fuel injection and the such like) I do try to answer.

TBH though, as has been mentioned by others, the forum is nowhere near as active as it used to be, not just TM, but other forums I'm on as well - probably because people prefer to use Facebook instead (I don't, I hate the concept of it, but I'm often directed there when searching for something on the web)....

Having said that, TM is still full of loads of info if you search for it, just lots of photos missing from when Photobucket committed commercial suicide.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???
