We arrived last Sunday after a 32 hour flight in total(4 different flights)at our rented cottage near the sea at a small village/settlement called Warrington.Fantastic place and totally unspoilt with the beach just a short walk away(can hear the sea at night).The cottage has no proper heating just a pot belly stove and open fire(I,m now a dab hand at making fires very quickly )The temps are down to -2 at night and its been snowing but during the day the skys are clear and blue.I think our next place will have to be central heated,non of this open fire rubbish!Found the locals very friendly and have a few invites already for a beer or 3.Philip the other Viper owner here even offered to pick us all up from the airport.Great guy and is curently converting his RT/10 (1994 with just 750miles on the clock!)to right hand drive as required law here if your a N.Z citizen.Sorting out many thinks like bank accounts/schools/cars/internet ect.Bought a car yesterday !Wanted a VR4 Legnum station wagon with the twin turbo v6 but settled in the end for a v6 2.4 non turbo,so we have wheels!Viper and rest of U.K stuff arrives in 5 weeks time and when we have sorted a digi camara well post some pics.Miss you all,but hope to see you in the future.(We are planning a Viper tour to LE Mans in 06 ....anyone interested?)
