    Well after just chatting with Lee ... (top guy) I'm really confident about buying a car sight unseen!! Odd but a nice feeling.

    Looks like we swop cars on the 14th. One of those meeting in a service station with a brown envelope!!! (why do they have to be brown envelopes?)

    I now need to think do I want some snow to try it in or not .. lol

    I need to actually get the car first!!!

    Then a sprinkling of snow after to play (sensibly) in would be great!

    I can get my camera out and take some photos tooooo........ watch this space!

    Once again thanks Lee. Hope you enjoy your new car as much as I'm looking forward to your old one/my new one!
