Well, yesterday actually.
I finally retired from trialing two years ago and planned to get my Trials Chummy ready for sale last winter. Of course, never touched it! Have now got some incentive and for the last three weeks have been doing some of the jobs that needed doing. Yesterday, though, I drove it on the road for the first time in 2 years and I'd forgotten how well it goes. Had a super 30 minutes driving round the lanes at un-Chummy like speeds and it would be easy to say I'll keep it after all. Not going to happen though and after the Dave Wilcox Trial at Christmas (where I've arranged to lend it out) it'll be for sale. I'll be sad to see it go after 30 years in its various incarnations but it's pointless having it sitting in the garage doing nothing. Cosmetically a bit tired after many years and many trials but still mechanically strong and at £13k, I don't think it's expensive.
