funkymofo Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I'm guessing most people on here have experienced what I'm feeling right now. My cheque will clear tomorrow which means I pick my 04 plate GT up at 6pm! Can't wait....it will be my first "sports car" and first rwd car so certainly wont be very happy if it snows or even rains tomorrow! I will add pics as soon as I get a chance (i.e. run out of money for petrol!) Quote
neo Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 congrats think we all know how your feeling like you say take it easy for a while until you get used to it then nail it,you'll have the biggest grin for miles around Quote
AndySpak Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Nice one Funky. I remember my first fast car and how excited I was about picking it up too. The feeling doesn't go away either... I had it again when I got my Zed and I still love getting in it and giving it a blast Quote
Jay Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I kno xactly how you are feeling mate but its all worth it i promise! Have a great day tomoz mate, be carefull tho Quote
Cool Hand Luke Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Congrats! I know exactly how you are feeling too - i only got my Zed two weeks ago and i felt like a kid at xmas the night before Quote
sl114 Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 that was the best feeling ever! You wait till you drive off in her! Quote
funkymofo Posted April 9, 2008 Author Posted April 9, 2008 haha you plebs Well I have officially had what was nearly my worst day ever today. Firstly work was an absolute bitch, everything that could go wrong did and I reckon I could stay there until june without sleep and still not finish my "to-do" list! Secondly I had a call from my mother saying the bank had been in touch to say my cheque had bounced - due to the signatures not matching! They said they tried to call me yesterday which was true in a way. However it was while i was at work from a withheld number and they left no message - helpful! So I phone the owner and ask if he will take cash - he says yes. I transfer £10k to my dads bank account (10k limit on transfers!) and he says he can scrape the rest together until tomorrow. The owner then calls to say his wife doesnt want that much cash in the house over night - fair enough really. I call home to tell dad not to bother but he is at the bank already, with his phone switched OFF I might add. So we finally manage to arrange that my dad meets the owner at his bank who then pay the cash into his account and I can pick the car up later........which is NOW! So I will take a couple of quick pics when I get back but nothing special as I am betting it wont be as clean as I like it to be when taking snaps So massive thanks to my parents and fingers crossed the day will end with me picking up a mint car and United seeing off Roma later on!

bigphil Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 A day like that will make it all the sweeter when you get in the drivers seat, ENJOY, I think you deserve it. Quote
AndySpak Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Ahhhh.... just wait till tomorrow and pick it up then. Go to the pub, get p1ss3d and worry about your motor in the morning. Its one less day for it to depreciate Quote
Chesterfield Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Doing all this money shifting, you arent the one who has made a fraudulent balance transfer of £6k onto my missus's credit card by any chance are you?! She has a fun day ahead tomorrow after getting her statement today Quote
funkymofo Posted April 9, 2008 Author Posted April 9, 2008 LOL I wish...skint now! All good, am in love with it already despite the fact it made me look stupid several times on the way home because I couldnt pull off without either lighting up the tires or stalling! Finally mastered it now though lol. As promised: Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 nice one mate, looks was it worth the wait ? is that your driveway ? Quote
funkymofo Posted April 9, 2008 Author Posted April 9, 2008 nice one mate, looks was it worth the wait ? is that your driveway ? absolutely worth the hassle! and yes it is my driveway (well my parents if you want get technical ) given the choice between property ladder and a Z....well I think you can guess what my decision was!
