The story goes:
I saw a post on another forum, early last friday, with the car in question as the topic. The owner was not sure about selling or keeping. They had done what they wanted and it was time to maybe move on.
I felt the same about my car, so contacted the seller.
I liked her car, she liked my car - so we struck a deal late friday afternoon. :beer:
Anyway, we met as the N.E.C on monday evening...exchanged keys and the folders of receipts, had a chat and went our seperate ways 
I decided to hoover & polish it tonight as it really needed it. 
Not driven it properly yet as Im wanting to sort a few things on it...
Anyway, pictures...some members will certainly recognise it. 
apologies for lack of imagination and flair with the photos
plenty of plans afoot.

Exhaust is being made quieter as we speak - far too loud
Then my mate is taking it on saturday to tweak bits here and there, sort the speedo out and the indicator flash speed etc.
Once there sorted, it shall see the road.
