Leaving, on a jet plane.....

[stig]

Well, my car will be - air freighted on the 26th Jan to be precise.

So all being well, it will be in blighty on the 27th!!!

Then it's SVA and some spit and polish and err....


...well, wait until March 1st so it can be registered

Pics coming and a shedload of parts to fit!

Just a query thou?

Will the black stripes show upon the black paintwork?

[mikef]

What's the cost of air-freighting?

Indeed they do

As regards air freight, I'm not sure as an importer is bringing it in for me. I'm reliably informed 'not cheap' though!

[Twin Turbo]

Hey, I've just bought a Mustang too.

This little baby will have to suffice until I can afford the full size one





And I want the real one to look just like this

ARRGHH!! So it was YOU!

You outbid me by 20p! I was well annoyed seeing as the guy selling was only 4 miles from me

Ah well, better luck next time I guess (should've sniped it )

However, I did find this and bought it instead:

[Twin Turbo]

Sorry Stig!!!

Console yourself in the knowledge that you'll have your full sized one long before me

No worries

Incidently, what scale was the one you won? Any idea?

Mine's 1/24

[Twin Turbo]

Yep, mine's a 1/24 too.

Can't wait for the 1/1

[steve.c]

According to the importer it's still coming by plane (this Friday). Customs wouldn't release it last week - or so they said.

It then takes a couple of weeks to sort the SVA etc.

At the end of the day, I didn't want to take it before March anyway as I want it to be registered on an '07 plate and I'm away for the first week on business!

[stig]

Well, apparently it's on a plane and due to land in the UK this morning!!



Can't wait to get it. Seems to have taken FOREVER!!!

[steve.c]

oooh,i bet them butterflies are working overtime for you wondering if it has landed etc :P

[Twin Turbo]

Nice one fella! I'm very jealous.

Out househunting (again!) today, and spotted two rag tops and a nice metallic red GT. all '05 models. 3 in 1 day? Common as much
