[quote="dangerous - reyland"]Well, after waiting (impatiently) over the last 5 weeks or so I finally got to collect the General from Southampton docks on Friday.
Unfortunately they had falttened the battery moving it around so i had to get a jump start from the fork lift driver. It soon fired up with that
First shots


The next issue was fitting it on the trailer. Just squeezed on after removing the spare wheel carrier

Endured 5 traffic jams on the way home so took ages, but did draw plenty of looks

Took it down to the workshop on Sat & then for the MOT
Passed straight through & is well solid underneath



Got pulled over by the police on the way back - No number plates or tax on the screen :shock:
But they only wanted to look at the car - told me how good it looked & to take care of it
Sent me on my way :wink:
Now its sitting on my drive at home whilst i get the registration completed



More shots to follow as i get it legal
Loving it

Isn't it illegal to have numbers on the door of your car?

There were hundreds Ben, and that is a confederate flag.
You should know both of these answers as you are a man.
