    Finally it arrived

    What a day!!!

    After 4 months of looking, waiting and getting the cash in.... I finally fetched my 1996 ming blue S2 coupe. Very good all round condition. Had a four hour drive in traffic from Swindon to Milton Keynes... Still had many thrills, as you all probably did on your first trip.

    My new "beaut" is stock except for a factory fitted DTM exhaust. 185K on the clock and only two former owners. I have been blessed with a full electric sunroof, leather interior (with heated seats) and two caring previous owners.

    Finally my garage has a stallion!
    Since it is late and the trip home covered her in sh#te, I will leave the photos until tomorrow, once I have her all shining.

          Thanks guys,

          This is now the start of me living the dream. Having read up on most of your posts over the past 10 months, I am as prepared as one can be for the costs of this. Somehow I do not think that my dearest wife has the foggiest of clues as yet... Will have to tread very carefully around the house so that we keep a favourable relationship between all...lol.

          Just please bear with me, cos I will be asking a hell of a lot of questions... I can be all sorts of a simpleton at times! Haha.

            best thing is not to add up the bills, just remember how much a newer car with similar performance would cost to buy and run and the depreciation that you'll avoid. I think I'm at ÂŁ20k including the car and it's pretty standard

            Get some pictures up!

                            Thanks, mileage is 185707.
                            Thanks to only two previous owners whom cared for her, she just needs some cosmetic attention (needs her bonnet and two front fenders resprayed).
                            Rear window wiper is not working, and the oil pressure gauge is also not working (I suspect a sender/sensor is faulty).

                            Any words of wisdom are always welcome.
