Yes that's it.

An acknowledgement is due to @meshking as he recommended a transport company.  Bloke provided a very good service with live tracking, so I knew when to haul my arse out of the house and wait by the road expectantly.

I was trying to convince a colleague to buy it, but it was sold before he could sort going over! 😂

Gingernutzz says the paint is laying on great, I agree:

We regularly have deer in the garden who run off if you go out.

I'm not certain I'd do that with something this size.

@RobT I recently sold my Daf 33, ( and I now miss it ). I have some spares left over from it. Including an exhaust pipe.  Please contact me if you are interested in anything.

I've applied for ULEZ exemption already as the new V5C arrived within 48 hours

Dont need to apply for ULEZ, its a "historic vehicle" so is automatically ULEZ compatible. I never applied for mine.

This has appeared in my parent’s neighbours front garden.  They’ve not seen whose it is yet.  Perhaps they were jealous of the x1/9?

Flat tyre for Mrs B's Clio this morning. As I suspected, when she had two of china's finest radials fitted a couple of weeks ago they didn't bother to clean up the manky alloys. Couldn't be assed to find the culprit as they're on the other side of town so I took it down to the local dodgy part-worn shop.

Ahead of me in the queue was a young girl with her dad. She was moaning about the cost of insurance - £400 a month, with a 'black box'! Fuck me, that's the best part of £5k a year to drive round in a 2013 Fiesta....

Best to keep your distance like I did because a moose can really hurt you.
