Been a long time to get to this point but flight and hotel booked so no going back.

any other brand gets you this excited?
Where are you going for it. I flew to Gatwick, then drove ours back 570 miles.
Hope the car is everything you hoped it would be. Safe journey back fella.It'll be worth the wait. I've just got back from collecting my 'new' Alfa. 280 mile round trip to buy a car I'd never seen before!

Car is coming from Mr Richard Grace and I have no reason to suspect there will be any issues other than having to learn to drive the thing properly!
Due to the distance between myself and the nearest indie I needed to try and get as good a car as possible and something which needed no work doing on it immediately.
Could "maybe" have saved a few pounds buying privately but then again I could have ended up with a nightmare to deal with and cost a whole heap more than I paid and that would have ruined the experience.
In truth I think allowing for inspection, warranty and peace of mind I really couldn't have bought much less even if I had been "lucky". Richard probably thinks it was too cheap (hahaha) and there was the odd moments of "sucking through his teeth" in negotiations!!
Can confess to that now money has changed hands.
I got mine from Richard this week; it sat in the Ministry car park for three days 10 floors below my office with me itching to drive it...had to wait until Thursday PM and then from Buckingham Palace down to Bristol in the sun...nice drive except for that dam stone that pinged up into the cars flank...Thanks M4!
