....COMETH MY 912 :P :P :P

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 :lol: (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 :wink: :P

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

Image

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

This was also awaiting collection...anyones here :lol: ?

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 :lol:

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

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..
