I bought the little smart from a member of the public (non forum member) Used it for a while then sold it on here to whom I cannot remember unfortunately

I believe @The Moog was the lucky purchaser

Another forum SLK bike is this one I currently have bought from @Supernaut which I believe has had several forum owners. I bought it as an end of life stop gap with non working roof, but I liked it so replaced the roof module and it has recently been re-MOTed

I got it from @The Moog who won it in a roffle from... somebody? But @Dave_Q was a caretaker for it until Moog could collect it.

I quite enjoyed it, actually. So much so that I got my first speeding ticket in it!

I picked it up from @Pat Earrings and had it for maybe a week or two, I would guess he got it from outside the forum but not sure.

It’s only because I spent far too long working on the little sod when he had it!! Still loved the thing though tbh 😂

[Crackers]

This seems to have become a forum bike, but hopefully one that continues to be well cared for.

@Split_Pin

Now with @aldo135 I believe?

Glad to see it’s still going. I actually took it in PX from @red5!

Done 1000 miles already and it’s been great. Got a crit air sticker in the post as it’s going to France next month

Fairly sure there’s more, too…

There was this Subaru Outback which I understand passed through your fair hands:

I believe the owner chain was something like @TrabbieRonnie (long term), then @NorthernMonkey to do a shedload of work, before moving to @SRi05 for some fun with the big sunroof during the summer of 2021, and then making its way back up to @JimH from whom I collected it and brought it over the water.

I'm noticing a pattern @NorthernMonkey 😂

Yes, me too... 🤔

[Spiny Norman]

Have we had this one yet? Now departed sadly but not before it had gone through @davehedgehog31, myself, @Jim Bell, who IIRC had a less than pleasant experience with it, and @Cavcraft.

Blast from the past there!  Great car that did us proud for a few years, including being unstoppable in the winter...  I had the exhaust replaced with a custom stainless job, still half the price of a mild steel Subaru one(!), which gave it a great note too!

Yes, I had it from cavcraft, sorted the headlights, fitted new doors and tyres and fixed a few other bits, brought it to cholmondely etc. then it got parked up for a while and the MOT ran out and nobody really wanted it except the local Peugeot breakers (who paid my asking price, I have to add) where, sadly, I don't imagine it left in one piece.
