After her near death experience at Leeds I'm sure she will want to be there to show her resilience :blackeye:

Yes please....I only met her a couple of times, the last time when she was terminally sick at EOTR so I would love to see you back in action. There are lots of places she could be very useful but....don't let those Reading/Leeds people ruin her 'cos I think she would love a trip overseas to Bestival!

If they sorted out the tracks so that there were no sharp edges across the roads there'd be a lot less buggy tyre problems at Reading.

My only chance to use her (Ooerrrr!) was at The End Of The Road, but that Leeds lot had left her needing intensive care.
