Well, the MOT failed on friday on a handbrake cable so that's gettin' done and re-tested early this week. Only a 60 quid jobby -Phew-. Then the fun begins.  P.S: when I took him up to the garage I decided to have a little splirt and woo he is pretty amazing.

(I know most people call cars 'her's but this ones a him ) Browsing on AutoTrader and PistonHeads (as ya do). It popped up, a TwoTone (WOOP) 110,000 miles (Yuck) 2001 VTR. I was hesitant, I really was buuuuut, I phoned the guy up and said reason for sale blah blah blah. 15 mins later i'd arranged a viewing for in the next hour. I finally got to his house in Chelmsford (after getting lost numerous times) and there it was.. Simba . He .. Just .. Looked .. Amaaaazing (Im a HUGE fan of TwoTone). I looked around it, no dents/scratches/tyre wear; I was shocked, this was better than any other viewing had gone.. I asked him to open the gateway up (fingers crossed for no oil to be pissing out of anywhere) -The Bonnet opens- and .. nothing. Absolutely NOTHING! I couldn't believe it.. Could this be the one?? He then said "Want me to take you out in it dude?"; "Does a bear shit in the woods?" I replied .. "Ofcourse I do". We pulled off (Oh yeah forgot to mention the interior is MINT, standard but nontheless it's MINT ) It seemed a lot more comfortable than the last VTR's i'd been in. The roar from Simba was just perfect. I think I've found him I was thinking to myself..
We got onto a little road he called "THE road" (Original eh?) Pfft.. He then goes "I don't normally take "her" (Thinking to myself it's a HIM called Simba) (Then remembered to myself it was still his car ) over 3,000 revs I was like, Dude.. are you for real. He was like yeah but you seem like your interested.. (Bearing in mind i'm sitting there hosting a semi with my tongue on the floor from the beauty of this car  ) "Yeah I replied, It's not bad I guess" and then he replied "Not bad?" And .. BAAAAANG he tickled that throttle and WOOOOOSH (sorry for the effects haha) He was an absolute MONSTER of a VTR.. It was standard in an Un-standard way.. Rahhh!
Anyway, we got back to his; I asked to check the history etc etc. I got a hpi check (£21.95 later ) I then put my hands in my pocket and said heres a deposit, dashed 300 in his hand and said, Ill come to pick it up next Saturday big man. Thank you SOOOOO much. He was like "dude, look after her". I replied "dude, it's a him now" - "His new names Simba; hear him ROAR". .. and there ya have it. He was born!!!
Picked him up on Saturday 
Heres the handsome one.
Nice to meet you all. |
I pmsl'd.
Nice car dude.

Update!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--UPDATE--!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fixed the broken clip on the driverside rear bumper as shown:
Here's what was broken:
- Ouch! 
Here's the finished product:
(P.S Check out the glue marks from where previous owner attempted ..  - Idiot tbh -.-
Still not perfect but .. Better than it was eh?
- So thats that partially sorted. 
Also, popped down to Halfrauds earlier in the week and decided to waste some cash on Seat covers .. what a joke that was .. LOL:
They may begin to grow on me once i'm driving about.. Tell me what you all think. 
Been a busy day or so anyhow haha.
