Ok, got it back home yestarday night and then had a date with the girl friend, so heres some of my own pics of it:





I had to spend £18 on a tyre before driving it back as it was VERY bald.
It now has 259,000 miles on the clock.

It seems ok on the juice.

The petrol thingy works, one bulb is out from what I can see.

There is mainly cosmetic damage.

From what I can see it needs doing:
Lockable fuel cap
Check bulbs
Give it a good wash
Check the drive shafts (Slight grinding noise on the motorway)
New Battery
I might see if I can get a company to sponsor us with 5 new tyres.
