ONE MORE SLEEP!!!!
Not long now until I'm officially sitting behind the wheel of new motor! Up at 7am sharp and then a 3 hour journey up North to collect the car from Mr Wilkes! I've packed the bag with the usual essentials in the form of a flask of tea, camera and road map. Also taking some tin snips and bolt cutters just in case I have to prize the former owner away from a car that's obviously been cherished in the forum for the past few years. Looking forward to the journey back and weather permitting I'll take the route down to Buxton through the peaks and then the 515 to Lichfield down back into Brum. Roof down and heated seats on I'll be like a pig in the proverbial. Camera will be at the ready and photos posted on the forum when I'm back online!
Last time I was this excited was 1977 when the folks got me a second hand Raleigh Chopper for Christmas!!!

Enjoy tomorrow. Much better than a Raleigh Chopper.
Try not to smile too much until your around the corner out of sight from Mr Wilks.
