Default picked up my new toy today

Just drove back from scotland today with my new saff cossie which i brought from rabmc. Just done 430 miles back to surrey and she didnt miss a single beat all the way home...oil pressure and temp were spot on too.
We left rabs at 11am and was downing a glass of wine by 6.35pm....7 1/2 hours with 1/2 hour stop...not bad i thought.

Its a lovely car and im sure he will miss it but dont worry rab...i'll defo look after her m8....already have a list of things im gonna do

Thanks to both you and angela for your hospitality today and im sorry for taking her away ....rab you did look pretty gutted as we drove off.

Dont worry m8...trust me....you WILL be back with bigger and better things.

im pissed off now.....first day with the cossie ans its done nothing but rain here...i wanna get out there and clean her up especially all that bling stuff under the bonnet

My mate came round earlier who loves cossies and hes gutted i got such a nice example.

Dont think it'll be long before he gets one,just needs to sort his finances out a bit.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WASTEGATE CHATTER

The noise is air going back through the turbo and the blades chopping it up. The wastegate makes no noise

glad you're enjoying the car tho

dont worry grant coz i will be looking after your car...i am very fussy m8 and have a list of things i want to do already...just little niggles....but i HATE niggles!!!
Im sure i'll be doing a few essex meets so you will see the car again grant but not until i have it how i want it.
I will be asking about the car too seeing as you know this car back to front....its early days yet so give us a few days with the car .

Must admit tho i am a bit nervous about owning my first cossie.....always listening for noises,checking fluids etc but im sure i'll get over this once ive owned the car for a month or two.
