Just cleaned out the garage out ready for it!

Must say I'm just a little excited! haha

 

Thanks for all your help guys!

Good to hear it's gone well!

 

Enjoy the car and take it easy on roundabout exits in the wet (I made that mistake already....)

 

Hopefully see you on a meet sometime!

Picked it up at 14:00 and have just managed to come out of it for long enough to eat!

Didn't know droning could be this much fun (while being SAFE and not heavy footed seen as I'm a newbie and these roads are slightly MOIST)

 

Thanks for all the help guys!

Best Birthday present fro myself yet :)

And the ABS light is no longer on this might have something to do with the fact it hasn't been drove since feb/2013

Enjoy! I've just been out in Woody1991's VX220 with a larini. I'm quite jealous now of that rumble. He's got me a beer though so it kinda makes up for it ;)
