She's finally mine!

[andymaslen]

Hi Guys,

Well, after a 14 month wait from deciding to acquire one of these grand old ladies, Babs finally is sitting in my garage!

I had my first drive in her this afternoon and I was blown away! Like a very powerful bus! Got to learn about those brakes, that steering, that throttle but Oh, so much fun compared to our grey-in-every-sense-of-the-word Toyota.

While we were unloading her off the trailer, two guys gave very appreciative comments.

Only one funny moment, with my barefoot 41/2 year old son waiting to get in and I couldn't figure out which of the four keys opened the doors!

Here are a couple of pics of Babs on the trailer - next up, a proper wash and wax.

i hope you dont think i was being serious about the state of my trailer. I havent washed it since 1991!!
Wheels are ford escort
She certainly gets about.
We collected a P5b from Preston on Tuesday
Round trip of 440 miles
Then it was down to Wiltshire to deliver Andys car on Thursday, close to the same mileage again.
