Well, spotted this on the VOC and couldnt really let it go by without making an offer.

Unfortunatly, the kind gentleman selling it accepted my scrap value offer.
Which I wasnt really expecting or financially prepared for. Ulp

So, some juggling ensued. John (gawd blessim and all who sail in him) gave me a 0% finace on half the Pug*
Which kind of free'd up enough cash to buy and ship the tinker north.
Keep yerz fingers crossed for an easy test.
Few pics I have from the VOC listing:




Interesting mudflaps and headlight protectors. Dont know if theres any other goodies. Have to see when it turns up.
Should be landing on the 18th.
Test, tax, then Im gonna address bumpers down and see if I can freshen up the cosmetics a bit.
Eventually, what with it being a handy 1.7 and all, and with Chris-spec mounts on the horizon, and chips already done, its most likely gonna up the valve count somewhere down the road.
Cheers all.
