When's the big reveal, sir?

Whenever I've got the call to say it's ready. They're taking the piss a bit, but I'm in good hands here at the moment. :)

I quite like 500s in that they're like a go kart, but being long back/short legs means I fit about as well as John Candy in an original Mini.

I drove a MK1 Ka for four years.  I’m 6’2 and have always been North of 16 Stone.  John Candy in a Mini is an excellent way of describing that experience.

Have you got it yet? 

Normally the cars break down after you've bought them so this is a bonus, unless of course its an omen. ;)

No idea why but I'm seeing Sandman in that number plate. 

🎶Give him the word that I'm not a Rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.... 
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream

If anyone feels left out, there’s weirdly one the same year and very similar miles about to go auction;

https://www.manorparkclassics.com/auction/lot/lot-139---1998-vauxhall-vectra-16-envoy/?lot=1752&so=0&st=&sto=0&au=20&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=0&pp=48&pn=1&g=1

Although if the estimate is anything to go by, @AnnoyingPentiumgot his for an absolute steal in comparison!

Correct. 26,500 ish, loads of paperwork including a cambelt in 2021. Two keys, radio code, working well too. Dealer put new brakes on too.
