Title: Collected the Elite 2.5 auto yesterday
Post by: stuart30 on 02 April 2009, 19:00:33
Went up too Preston too buy Brian's 2.5 Elite....must say its a lovely car,couple of minor niggles but they will soon be sorted.

Lovely drive home...couple of times broke my own rule and completely ignored the NSL on the M6.

Seen a couple of nice looking Migs.

All nearly went tits up when half a step ladder decided too throw its self of a van and land in the middle lane of the M6....car in front slowed and swerved as did i...then look behind too see a HATO on fast lane stopped and middle and inside lanes stopped and HATO man (what a pillock) run out too middle lane and start grabbing this ladder.

Thought the guy was suicidal (remember traffic further back would have no idea whats happening... :o) then spotted a police Volvo estate reversing up hard shoulder nearly as fast as i was going forward (bugger he was giving that some)....hopefully too kick the HATO a new backside.

Car handles lovely....engine sounds sweet...just a couple of small rust patches too sort and cars a good un. 8-)

So please i went 2.5 and not 2.0...suprised how much more power my estate had over this saloon. :o

Well im an ugly buster any way so wouldn't of made much difference but the cars a good un so would have been gutted... ;D

The way the Traffic officer was flooring it in reverse (must say lovely straight line considering the speed) wasn't sure if it was becuase  HATO was being a complete pillock or if he was going too sensibly close all three lanes unlike HATO who just parked in the fast lane. :o
