llo Justin,Yes Shes here!!!!!!!!Absolutely Beautiful!! Im a bit numb

The lad who drove her, was about 10yrs old,Hmmm,

She sounds like a cross between,a lioness,and a Tyrannosaurus!!!!!cant belive the bloody hand brake is so high up, and the baby told me, to put it in 5th before reverse,(he says they dont like going into reverse) sooooooooo, i had a drive,(only forward and back) but it was easier than i thought it would be,steering seems stiffer than im used to.
Anyway shes sleepat the mo,its rainning ,so shes in the garage, fitted in fine, and she has had all the rain droplets wiped from her,never to get wet again!!!
you have only 4 hours to go, i hope the weather picks up for you,

Try to log on later. I LOVE MY CAR SO MUCH.:cloud9

hey 2smokinbarrels, i did, up and down the road ,and since then i have been into the town, to pick up oldest rug rat, OMFG, I was shaking, when i came to a sraight bit of road,i tried to put my foot down, but for some strange reason, id lost the use of my legs!!!!!!!
Its hard work, i was watching the road, kids coming out of school,and trying not to over rev it at junctions, so people wouldnt think id just got it!
Hoping that no one would flash me ,cause it was so obvious that id stall it!
(mind you no one flashes you when your in a TVR)
then i drove the long way there and back to avoid the speed bumps,and there was the bloody level crossing, I had to look in the owners book, i didnt know if the petrol tank thingy indicator ment it was full or empty, nearly lost the back end turning into a sharp right hand bend, now that made my stomach go big time,It was all like something from saving private ryan.
and last but not least, told oldest rug rat to stand at back of the garage, so i wouldnt hit the wall, and proceeded to squash his legs!!!
So all in all, iv had loads of fun!!!PS,thanks for all tips on photos,will get middle rug rat to do it,(hes 5)Hmmm

Remember my fist drive, it was a test drive at Bedlington motors, got to the outskirts of bedlington and with a bit of straight road decided this was a good a time as any to plant the right foot in second gear i will never forget the soundtrack and shear violence of the acceleration, together with me shouting out loud 'fking hell' woohoo
