New set of wheels
In 2015 I was after a runaround, something small like Fiesta. So I bought a V8 MG ZTT 400.
But now I have that runaround that I wanted, not a Ford Fiesta but a Pink SMART car. Bonus buy as it passed its mot yesterday with one advisory. It only had one key which is temperamental with the central locking. So I have had a new key programmed today by a local company. Bought from another forum member up in Torquay. It’s on a 58 plate. Very nice stereo system. Originally Black and Silver. First owner changed the silver panels to pink. I’m going to get it “wrapped” in the Cornish flag. Allen aka Ratty gave me a lift to collect the car. And we convoyed home with “The Flying Strawberry” leading the ZTT. Wound the key up and we was soon travelling at Warp Factor 3 and a bit. Will be used as my shopping car, trips into town and investigating some of the narrow lanes around Cornwall, loathe to take either Banana or the Bear down some of these lanes. Will post up a few photo’s over the next day or two.

Congratulations on the new purchase Bob, I knew you were SMART see what I did there.
I've seen a pic, and I'm remembering those Banana and Shrimp foam sweets. |
