Fair play Feroz, not only do you organise the event, the routes, fine dining and accommodation, now you arrange the evenings entertainment! :P

Car collected yesterday, MOT'd and taxed this morning, a bit of fettling by Gary this afternoon.....plan was to put in 5-6 hours of driving although ran out of time and have only managed 280 odd miles....

....I've been waiting to take this photo for a long time!....

Land mark photo Darren, such a good feeling :bounce:

So it really was that straight forward ? All done ? Now you just have to drive it ? 280 miles doesn't sound bad for starters...it's still about 278 miles more than I have managed so far :roll:

So how was the drive ??? Everything you hoped for and more ???

Soooooo many questions, (sorry :oops: ) but such a cool car ! It's one of ''those'' cars and sure to be many research folders.


More photos and some sound please, it looks epic ! 8)

Fantastic car, fantastic shot. Your face must be aching today from the constant smile on your face during those 280 miles.

Terrific looking pair, Darren. :cool: What a sense of achievement you must feel after all the time, decision making (& money!)
How many times per evening do you make your excuses to pop outside to open those garage doors? ;) :)

Wow ...... Walking in to that garage must put a huge smile on your face, what a fabulous pair you have! Even the garage looks tidy!

I'm sure it will be no hardship putting a few miles on it. Can't wait to see it!

Really well done :cheers:

Great result Darren, and if you need an excuse to add some more miles, the kettle is on.

Congratulations.
It must be wonderful to finally get it on the road.
BTW I love the 911t motif on the back.
