....COMETH MY 912

I went to Chatham docks this morning and met with a recovery truck to bring her home, she was a little dusty but it was so nice to be greeted with such a lovely straight little car, she quite happily fired up after a few cranks with some fresh fuel... I got to drive her out of the warehouse too

(tease or what !)

I'm dead chuffed...here are a few pictures..... there'll be more to follow as I give her eyes, euro turn signals and maybe some other treats

And into Crouch End... we're nearly home now

It was such a great feeling following the recovery truck home thinking my god this is my new car

I can't wait to be uk legal and get out for a run now...

Thanks Barry

passenger ride booked for the next time we meet up and she's on the road

This was also awaiting collection...anyones here

?

There was a sad looking 911T in the warehouse for collection which i didnt photo due to my excitement. I saw it first and was a bit scruffy looking... was i relieved when they pointed me to my car or what

Yeah rough old 911T's what mug bought that.

There... Darren took alittle while but it's here and yours.. I am glad I pushed Greg for you. And you to buy it. It's a nice car and I enjoyed the drive in Ca. I am glad it's 100% as I told you it was. Great deal all round very pleased. Just wished I bought it... NO!! i hear Jo say you have enough cars

and the traveling behind your car is always a great feeling it's a real buzz I enjoyed following mine. Glad you did the same..

Great news can't wait to see her again!!! it was a whole 9 months since the last time we were togeather

Here is a shot you haven't seen of your car...

I was in Wallys car for the first leg and then I jumped in Gregs ( your car ) so here is your car on the Freeway running north from San Jose to North east San Fran to Jim's place at Easy..

I didn't take much other pic's wish I did now sorry... but I found this one..

By this time I was now in Tony's E and struggling to keep the wheel straight and take a pic!! no officer both hands on the wheel...

Their coming out the wood work now!!! I found aload more for you.. I love Digi camera's take as many pic as a Jap tourist and look at them later... and look what I found a whole concoffeny of filfthy Darren Porn

I didn't take many after this cos I was gunning the shite out of your car at the time so no spare hands to take pic's and hold the wheel
