A Brief History of MOL


  On Monday the 27th of Jan 2003, MOL was finally laid to rest after the crash eight and a half months earlier. Here is a brief photo history of MOL during my ownership of her between June 2000 and January 2003. The photos below capture some of MOLs moments starting with the earliest photos at the top, going down to the most recent at the bottom.
