[Doc]

so flew down to stanstead at silly o'clock saturday and arrived at a baltic and aptly named Grays !

 

Where i was promptly met by Scott and whisked off to his Mums to look the Capri S over and after a spin around the block the deal was done :banana: However my Scottish moody Money needed verifictaion so off to the bank we go for the bank teller to get confused how much the notes were worth .......... IM FROM SCOTLAND not some Kazicstani place anyway hey ho !

 

So back to the car and a quick once over and its very clean and straight few bits but very low milage and as per the adverts so i was very happy , Scott being the good man he is had given it his proffesional once over being a RAC guy its all good .

 

Drove down to Ashford Kent no problemo then drove to watford gap services and got my head down as it was late evening next morning no dramas filled up and off to Scotland/ car performed flawlessly averaging 80mph so its all cool .

 

Hit Glasgow and traffic and then it starts gearbox slipping in and out of gear no drive and a very unhappy driver . :wtf1: However the car is super straight and the engine is very tight so im over the moon / not sure about the colour but i love it already and driving up thinking of what mods i could do quickly and cheaply

 

ex wife will make sure of that !

 

So i have to thank Scott for the deal and lookinmg after the car while he had it and checking all the fluids etc before i left . Cheers mate Ill look after her for you for sure .

theres nothing like a road trip to collect your new osf,

[Doc]

Autobox filled with wrong fluid so it slips like a bastard so if anyone has a towing bar i could borrow before friday so i can get it to the garage and get the box flushed and the correct fluid filled that would be great .

 

I will 5 speed it in time( busy collecting bits) but just need something to drive till i fix my clk also broken dammitt

 

 

 

 

.. cheers Steve
