Well, finally....

Got round to taking some pictures of the "new" car :lol:

They are completely crap, blurry, and a shocking display of just why you should use a proper camera :lol:

But anyway..................




Oh, and BTW - For those that didn't know (Apologies for not telling you earlier - just before Yosser gets all uppity again about me not passing on every little iota of my life to you all...)

And a crap picture, crappily photoshopped :lol:

I'd like to thank the previous owner for deciding to upgrade to improve his fuel economy (shame about the tyre prices), and also remind him to not try and follow me round roundabouts :lol:

In all honesty, It's a tidy motor - goes like stink, and is a joy to drive (with a big grin on me face ;) )
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair
