The ETA for the ship at London is 23rd September, so need to allow a week or so for clearance/collection. Then, of course, is checking it all over and hopefully NOT finding anything nasty! People that have seen it in the USA tell me it is a beautiful car, but I'll wait until I can make my own judgement.

I will need to drop the CR, though, so I can run pump gas. although it has a few gallons of C-12 in it right now!

Trouble is, I live miles from anywhere that sells E85 – plus, this is my street car, not a race car as far as I'm concerned (real race  cars have a tube chassis and turbo...  Grin).

Hi Keith,
Have you got some news of your US car ?
I'm sure that you'll send us some pics when tires touch GB floor.
We wait that !
