Ha ha ditto. It’s way more fun looking at it in the garage, than driving the thing

Nice one Tristan - that's another D in south/west wales
Had mine a few months now - had a few jobs to do but it passed the MOT 2 weeks ago that's a nice feeling. I bought mine from Dublin so like you have to now register it with DVLA - paperwork went off last week but came back as I didn't enclose a proof of address doh !!!

Oh that’s a pain! Lol

As it happens I’m currently using the clubs article on filling in the V55 in readiness...... perhaps a little pre-emptive..... but I must do something!!! :D
(Leaving blanks for the dates of course....don’t know when I need the tax to run from yet)

Congrats! Look forward to some trial by fire like taking it down to the valley - I certainty did!

I agree they definitely look better in the garage - every time I take mine out the list of jobs grows lol!

Nice work Tristan! Where did you get the car from? Is it a fresh import?

Cheers dude :)
Freshly imported by Andy Westerman about a month ago. He’s done a few preliminary things to get her going and stopping.
Running a little rich - but we blasted around the block a few times and she pulled like a train.

I’ve just had word that she’s coming Wednesday, so I have the day booked off to have an initial “play”

Cheers,
Tris
