The wait to pick up my T350 is killing me grrr

Need to wait to receive a cheque from the stocks and shares investment and then for funds to clear, before i can pick her up.

I keep reading these threads and want mine so badly now. Even received an email last night inviting me to a supercar event, it did make me smile , i'm close to being part of the "gang".

Thats so unfair... I've been an owner now for over 18 months and never had such an invitation. Newbie whos not even got the car yet is invited to something! Humph!!!

On a more serious note congratulations. Have to be honest that I thought you'd never get your arse in gear and get one bought. Enjoy the car but go easy until your used to how it drives and how the power is delivered.

ahhh Mossy - Hello, hope you dont shoot me down in flames again getmecoat

I sold the focus for £10,500 - i might add that when i put the value of my focus on my profile at £12k i hadnt kurbed a wheel or bumped a tree log at that point.(doh)

I probably could have got more for her but knew that would be enough for me to get the tvr so sold her, as i was in a rush. I really wanted the T350 that str8six had so needed to sell my car quicky before she went.

You were right though, she wasnt worth £12k, i think i was just being optimistic there wink

Its not the garage that is delaying things its me! I need to wait for money to clear first.

The car will be ready this week.

It's my fault really, i thought i could go to the bank and get the money straight away but was told i need to send a letter and then it takes 5 days for them to get a cheque out to me and then 3 days for it to clear grrr.

I sent the letter on Saturday so hopefully should get the cheque at the start of next week and the money in the account by next friday and then hopefully pick the car up on the Saturday.

Fingers crossed scratchchin

Same here. Just had a 12k service, the 2nd since my rebuild at 9000 miles. On both the previous 6k and this 12k I've paid theextra for the valve check and have had zero adjustment so I'm very happy. Can't wait to get her back....

Haven't seen the guy who made it in months, haven't paid him either as he never gave me a price.

Your car was safely tucked up on the ramp today, away from prying fingers and eyes smile

Was she that's good. Jason said he would advertise her on PH as it would look better if 2 went up for sale and one sold quick.

Anyway he hasn't put mine up which is good. Especially as I was fretting waiting for the money to come through.

I'm waiting for my insurance rebate now though frown I'm using that money to insure this baby.

How's your car T, can you notice a difference?

Roll on next weekend!

My car was running great before the service so it feels the same. I haven't given it WOT yet as I need to drive gently for medical reasons. I did notice within 200yds of leaving St8Six that they prefer 26psi for the tyres ... I checked pressures when I got home and put them down to 24.5psi cool (each to their own but its too pointy for my liking on 26).
