Well, at 4pm, the funds got in, so at 4.15 we were in the wifes car in rush hour traffic trying to get to the garage before it shut at 6pm, It was close, but:

These pics were a bit rushed as only got home about 8pm, the cars nothing really special, 5 door, armrest, heated seats, and LOADS of other stuff which I have no idea how it works, but its mine, and its loved now. so a few basic mods, wheel refurb, coloured skirts to come, and it will be the bizness.
