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)

Correct they look perfect in the garage it kind of ruins things when you drive them

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
