I think I have about 60 pics Chris, but be bad form to post up until I have the car, not least in respect to the current owner who has been really excellent through the whole sale/negotiation/discussion.

Well, all went to plan, delayed flight aside. Nige/Rebel and his food family collecteD me from Newquay airport and then I drove the Mustang down to York.
Stayed overnight with my brother and his twin teens, drank beer and watched the Euro footy. Left there at 6,15 Sunday am and drove to Shakey for breakfast. Spent time with the MMA chaps which was great as usual. Drove home after lunch. 480 miles and the car never missed a beat. Around 20 mpg and it stuck to the road like glue.
Thanks to Nige for a really good sale experience, went like clockwork and everyone happy.
PCs won't upload currently, I'll try later

Glad it all worked out Miles.....I risked the pain that is Bodmin/Temple roadworks and all was fine, but you had the more scenic route. Now Mad Machs has tempted you to the dark side I wonder if you will stay there!?

Yeh, I'll be here for a while. Ordered 3.73 gears and some tuning parts within an hour of getting back

Really nice drive, but needs some re jigging form factory standard to make it properly quick.

It was great to meet you Miles, thanks for all your kind words and for making it an easy and smooth transaction. I'll wait for the workshop thread of upgrades to start. Have fun on the dark side, hope to see you at the nats
