Thanks all for the comments! - Funnily enough - I'm just as excited still!!
Sadly its only 150yds from the dealers to my house, still I'm sure I can turn it into a long drive back.
Looking forward to posting up pics once I've got it.
Cheers,
JC
Actually JC, I did some digging, and under an antiquated but still enforced MOT Regulation, Paragraph 5, Subparagraph B, Clause a2, of the Act to Prevent Invasion by the Hun, initially put in place in the summer of 1940 (it was thought that since Germans love to follow orders, they would immediately obey this one and thus never reach London with the invasion forces), I quote, "Upon operating a Motorised Vehicle for the first time anywhere upon English soil, God Save the Queen and the Empire, said Operator must, at a minimum, travel for no fewer than 50 miles, in each Direction as indicated by the compass. If aforementioned travel falls on a day of the week beginning with the letters, "T", "W", "F" or "S", said Operator must further travel an additional 50 miles in the general area of the first town encountered, or if no acceptable pubs are located in the first village, then the next possible village is acceptable" Better get cracking sir, you've got a lot of riding to do.
