John is curently moving house and was looking to store the car somewhere for a couple of months so then thought of asking the discovery centre if they would like to have it on display for a few months...

Correct me if l am wrong JOHN...

Thanks for all your good comment's,yes i needed to find storage for my GT as i am in the process of getting a house built and as it will take 8 months to build , i had to find a place to store my car and came up with this brilliant idea and approached them about being put on display for a few months and they said that they could help me out but no gaurantee for how long,but at least they can help me out for a few months.
And yes i do miss her already and it's been only 3 weeks so far.
Cheers John

The volunteers will happily run a duster over it, and perhaps you could display the car with the engine next to it. ;)

Hmmmm storage eh?

You don't want a rusted out XB 500 Coupe shell do you? I could probably paint it one colour if you wanted.

Just checkin!
