Dave , has it arrived ?
It has....but hasn't moved since. The drive home was eventful, it wouldn't start or recognise the keys at first (very flat battery) and then the temperature started to rise due to losing coolant (I've since found a leaking hose), I stopped way before any damage could occur. It rained on the journey home last month which was a shame, still, it was good to be back in it and on the Californian plate too.
The lighting is really giving me a headache, it's complex to change the US spec wiring, connectors and programming to be UK legal. I am now waiting on a Swedish designed 'blinker splitter' box to help. The poor thing is covered in dust now, all the more frustrating whilst we have such great weather. The dark tint on the side windows has been peeled off (way too dark to be legal) and I bought a plate for it, although it's not yet registered I've stuck it on anyway.

A certain amount of frustration there I bet!
Car looks great though, it will certainly be turning heads on UK roads
