Right then - Collection day.  :cool:

Got woken up at 4am by the neighbours having a party - not impressed.  :sad:

Go downstairs to find kitchen flooded from a now defrosted fridge freezer  :cry:

Not a good omen for  car collecting. what is the third going to be  :rolleyes:

I soon find out, our lasses car has a MASSIVE vibration on it at crusing speeds  :rolleyes: thankfully she doesnt go that fast  :evil:

So to Lutterworth we go, arriving at the place to a VERY pleasant surprise. The piccies DIDNT do the old girl justice at all,

yes the whole car needs Mr Tona to come and sort it properly - but overall its immaculate for it mileage.

The bonnet is stonechip central but thats understandable.

One small dent in the NSR arch  ( same arch as the b3  :laugh: )

big scuff on the NSF bumper but its been touched in and a few small scratches

Thats it.

Alloys are mint for their age  - all 5 of them  :cool: shod in michelin energy saver tyres :afro:

Interior is rip FREE, with VERY minimal wear on the bolsters.  :smug:

The drive is sweet as, no vibration, smooth pick up, and a lot quicker than the B3s  :evil:

With no fuel on board i limped to the nearest fuel station, watching our lass dissappeaer onto the M69 going in the wrong direction  :grin: :grin: :laugh:

Then off to Bens I went to deliver some goodies and so Toph could see if any codes had appeared and turn some stuff on, others off  :undecided: :huh:

it then got discretely stickered  :lipsrsealed:

Next up was a Team Wagon photo shoot  :cool:











So after saying thanks again to chris and ben for taking time out from Tuneside to go do the initial viewing / roadtest I headed for home the long way .

A mixture of A roads, dual carriageways and a blast down the M1 saw me return 35.9 mpg overall including some Autobahn Driving  :lipsrsealed:

Not bad i thought for a big old girl  :smiley:

So  whats next, a visit from Mr Tona - and THATS IT, maybe some not so discrete stickerage  :grin:

Looks really nice mate. I'd be tempted by one of these in derv form but they hold their value well.

Agreed, looks great Chuff.  I was also looking at them in TDI form, but as Nick said, holding their value surprisingly well!

and before i get grassed up  :rolleyes: :lipsrsealed:

I didnt do ANY checks on this car beofre buying - even my own recommended online ones  :lipsrsealed: I know  :tongue:

However it would seem i was lucky .

Mots are all good, one fail for a brake line and thats it.

Mileage is correct, being an ex avis fleet car it comes with a FULL print out of its service history .

and it seems to have had 3 easy years since it was sold off by avis  :cool:

I blame the meet in Bristol for this......

It's been a long old road to get to it, mind.....
