Don't worry as the official SWS paparazzi you were always going to be asked.

It'll be great for me as well, I've never bought and paid for a car I've never even driven or seen in the flesh.

And you've been out of action a lot longer than I have, but that'll soon be at an end.

I had some great news today my registration documents and tax disc arrived this morning from the DVLA.

So now to book a train ticket to Leeds on Friday, and driving nirvana on the way back to Leominster to drop the car off with Ryan for it's full service, paintwork issues to be addressed plus other work to be carried out.

I can't wait, it seems like ages since I've driven an Impreza.

Thanks, just booked my train ticket from Leominster (dropping my Mini off there) and then I will drive the Impreza back to Leominster, drop the Impreza off with Ryan and then drive home from there in the Mini.

Once it's in with Ryan it will have some TLC, I am not desperate to get the car back in order to park it up for the winter so it'll give me plenty of time to arrange the remap etc.

I'm not really sure yet Simon if I'm honest, it all depends on timings as I've got nothing in place yet plus I'll want it mapped in Leominster as well.

Not too long to go now.

I nearly forgot about the alarm / immobiliser system, I'm getting a Clifford G650 mk2 fitted before I pick the car up on Friday.

Should hopefully keep the car save from theft.

I think of them more of a deterrent rather than an outright method of stopping the car from being taken.

You just have to make it as difficult as possible for the thieving scum.

Well not too long to go now, I'm catching a train from Leominster at 7.02am tomorrow morning.

Thankfully there's only one train change at Manchester before I arrive in Dewsbury to collect the car.

I've bought some octane booster for the journey home as given the length of time that the fuel has been in the tank I think it's prudent to give it a boost.

Still not sure on the exact route to take back but I might try to incorporate The Buttertubs Pass as it looks like a cracking road, and not one I'll probably be able to drive again anytime soon.
