My little car is sitting in a tin box in the bowels of a 32,000 ton freight ship in Felixstowe. Right now.

Doors shut. Darkness. Silence.
Almost silence - some clanging and banging, mens voices.
Now the shackles and the chain, and then gentle rocking as the steel box is lifted out of the monster ship.

The new home is waiting little car...yes it is waiting!

(sorry - getting slightly hysterical - I'm ok - really)

Customs, transport, PDI - just over a week to go.

I can wait.

Nice!

Is it white-white?

or

Platinum White???

I presume you have imported it from Japan - did you do this yourself or use an agent/broker?

Fletch

I'm heading over Felixtowe way next weekend.
Do you want me to pick it up for you?

rmotegi

Euro import through Bob Gerard.

Agonised over paint but in the end decided that the fastest colour was the only sensible choice.

Yeah Fletch, drive it like u stole it to Leicestershire.

I'll get it quicker won't I...?

Now I'd better think about getting lovely lime green garage doors to match the car.

AquilaEagle

what colour is it?

GSi

I think perhaps the ship is called 'White Swan'

mikdys

A colour that will match lime green garage doors by the sound of it

Fletch

But
So it must be MCBlue

rmotegi

yep I like girls too...

but I decided I didn't want to have that kind of relationship with my car.

So I went for stallion silverstone

Yes I know there are a lot of silver cars out there.

But not many of them are s2ks.

Car looks classic in this colour IMHO.

Oh God here we go - not the colour wars! (vive la difference)

Lets talk about something else.

The car is still waiting patiently.

Already it has dreams of screaming vtec, summer lanes, warm tyres and ecstatic g forces, simmering brakes, crackling exhaust on the cool down, the one last lingering look before the front door is shut.

The dreams are half formed, as yet unrealised.

The dawn approaches.










The truth is dawning.

Great choice
