The Wait Begins

Post by TitanTim » Thu Dec 21, 2023 7:01 pm

It's finally arrived :) Delivery times were all over the shop from being told January 2024 to then June 2024 and then suddenly was due to arrive 24th November just gone, then 29th November and then 5th December :lol: Was starting to think it had been lost. Suddenly then turned up last week so collected today just in time for Christmas.

Initial impressions are good, so many driving parameters it's mind boggling, alot to learn. Chassis is super stiff so will be looking forward to stretching it's legs.

Not a great day to pick up weather wise, every tree and wheelie bin :cry: but incident free.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Can't remember what I had at 18, think it was a bus ticket :oops: first car at 19 was a 1979 Toyota Starlet 1.2 in Kermit Green :lol: for the princely sum of £2400 :o felt I'd gone up in the world.

You must have been a late starter!

At 18 I got a twin-cam Fiat 125 for about £400 after a year of misery in a 1967 MK2 Cortina banger. :(

Passed my test at 17 and used my dad's car at the time which was a Toyota Carina, my brother had a Toyota Celica ST, wasn't jealous at all :)

Thanks Jock :thumbsup:

Real shame production has just stopped, think its end of the line for this particular model. I imagine whatever next comes along next will be a Hybrid non manual :cry:
