Went to pick up our new car yesterday. All is well except a problematic carb (which ill change asap).

The car is nicknamed Bumblebee... for Transformer fans you'll know why laugh

I had asked previous owner to bring it to our wedding next year to use for pictures etc (theres a split window camper comming too!), and when he told me he was selling it we couldnt help but buy it for ourselves! 8)

Got a few plans that'll unfold once ive got the spare cash to put into it (which'll prob be mostly after the wedding laugh )

The attention you get driving down the street in it is riduculous though laughbiggrin

Few quick snaps i took lastnight:
