New saffy, new project
Collected today from South Wales, the 370 mile trip home was a complete pleasure (got the train down which took best part of 5 hours lol)
I've included pics under the Wanted section, so rather than repeat those I will take some nice HDR pics over the weekend after she's had a proper clean.
All went to plan on the way home, PhilV70R had suggested that I keep an eye out for a few things, after checking oil and water levels and filling her up to the top with super unleaded, quickly got to this mpg
peaked at 37.6, worst was 32mpg, with speeds between 60 and 78 mph....with the odd blip to test the s and e modes on the auto box.....all well, and not bad for 205k engine. Power delivery seems fine to me, but Phil can be the judge of that when he visits this weekend
Suspension fine, feels nice and tight, no pulling to any direction when braking. Loads of receipts for work done over the last 12,000 miles, has been SORN a bit over the past 6 years.
So, few things that I've noticed will need attention.
Body work not far off being mint - credit to the previous owner/s. Inside very similar, just slightest wear and tear on the base of the front seats.
Rear wiper, water jet and demister dont work - doesnt bother me.
Sunroof dead - doesnt bother me.
Front drivers side tyre has slow puncture - fancy replacing both front ones asap anyway with something more grippy.
To conclude on day 1 - best drive Ive had in a car since a very long time, faultless on the way home, dont care what needs doing to her its an amazing collectable car which will continue to be looked after by the dark side of the force :-)
Know I'm absolutely knackered so off to my pit.
