gm Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 I bought some parts that are collection only, lucky then that I am off work this week and have nothing better to do as they are quite* far away ! Hope they are worth it as it’s not a proper collection thread, I didn’t bother with the usual breakfast pics. but in case anyone feels cheated, here’s my packed lunch progress will be monitored via this little blue mx5 on an out of date AA road atlas better get started then, just follow the big black line davehedgehog31, Craig the Princess, loserone and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbaldy Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Bloody hell is that a 3 day packed lunch haha, Last time we where at crail there was a driver that had all the wrong lines and it doesn't half spoil your lap especially If the red mist arrives too. gm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather a long day but so worth it neighbour has already been round for a look ! this thing is already taking over the house The spare room will come in very handy for storing the “body” panels until it’s mechanically ready, the poor mazda is now permanently evicted to the driveway.

gm Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 By the way, when I initially enquired about placing an order, the waiting list was three months, it’s now up to nearer five - I am a grade A spawny get who managed to take on someone else’s build that they wanted to cancel If he’d just cancelled, he would lose his deposit and the kit would go back into stock for whoever is next in the queue but I ‘bought’ his deposit off him and managed to change the spec before it was finished - and saved a few quid into the deal ! One more pic from today - this has to be the most picturesque industrial estate in the land - seriously, this is the view from Exocet HQ !
