Hi all. 
Sorry not Rover P6 or classic car related but thought you all ought to know.
As many of you will know I quit working full time in Oct 2012 to semi-retire and play with my classic cars.
And 1 yr later was diagnosed and then had an operation for bowel cancer over xmas 2013,and also had a colostomy,followed up by 3-4 months of chemo.
All has been relatively well since then,apart from a bit of lethargy which is expected.
Being checked out with a CT every 3 months with nothing much happening,until my last 3 monthly CT check up,where some nasty stuff has appeared in/on the area know as the peritoneum.
The small nodules present in my lungs have also increased slightly since 2013.
Therefore around the start of Oct, I will be undergoing a 3 month course of more chemo.
Hopefully xx fingers,I will respond well to this and a further 3 months will be scheduled.
Once all this is over,I will be taking a trip to stay with my mother in NZ for a bit of r/r.
Then if all is still well on my return,Casper and I are going to buy a big yank RV and take a trip round the coast of the UK,and will no doubt visit lots of classic car shows.
You may of seen my post having a MASSIVE parts clear-out with 50% to Macmillan cancer.
EVERYTHING TR6 or P6 related is going except my daily driver P6V8 and a few essential spare parts.
Also the TR6 and Nada will be sold.
Priorities in life change when things like this happen,and I have had the last 18 months to get my head round it,and think about what to do.
So as of now I am not going to take on any more refurb or resto projects,I am going to stop my part time job as I will be in no condition to work for a good while,then relax,unwind,do a bit of travelling with my pussy "Except to NZ" as he doesn't like flying.
Cheers Dave
