[Viper]

not many more sleepless nights to go then !

[vipernut2270]

its in Felixstowe at the mo,just hope that A14 is nice and clear for the drive back,probably wont be able to collect till next weekend after all the paperwork has been sorted,got the registration form at the ready...just wanna get my hands on her now

[TheStoat]

Well done chap, hope it goes smoothly

[vipernut2270]

[Leatherman]

Felixstowe is pretty awful at the moment but hopefully will be ok by next weekend. If things are still bad and you dont fancy driving it back to Brum, the guys who transport the Top Gear cars all over Europe run their business not far from Felixstowe and they would give you a quote for covered transport. Let me know if you require details.

[vipernut2270]

thanks,i may just need those details if they dont charge the earth

Just driven most of the way down the A14 and it is very clear. With the temp rising above 5 degrees over the next few days it should be fine for you to drive back.

[vipernut2270]

aah thats great,thanks for letting me know

[V10 BAT]

Hope your day went well

[Viper]

Pauls in the viper and on his way home, at Cambridge services at the moment

Bet he's pleased!

[vipernut2270]

got back safe and sound,the Viper is home!!,i cant stop looking out the window at it
my jaw just hit the floor when i first saw it at the warehouse in Felixstowe,could hardly believe it was mine at last,the wheels are even bigger in the flesh,and no rubbing that ive noticed,
minor hickup at the shell garage a few miles from the warehouse,the battery wasnt charged enough,within minutes there was a crowd round the car,was quite funny,then a very kind trucker let me use his jumpleads and away we went back to Dudley,was a complete bag of nerves driving back,its absolutely filthy now,will be geting her cleaned up again tomorrow,then get the MOT booked,
im thrilled to bits!!
