In years to come, we will all be able to recall where we were when Emp got his mean green speed machine. 

I’m in King’s Lynn. 

Nice.

Passed through Teignmouth a while back...  Train line runs along the coast...

my last train journey was to Dawlish which is part of that same line. Very picturesque as you go along.

I predict a Super Over and then a win on a technicality.

I take it (or hope) you rang them to confirm final details before travelling?

"Sorry, sir, we can't insure you on that car. No, I don't know why. Computer says 'no'".

(that one actually happened to me when I bought the Celica!)

Sorry sir - the chap who was going to do the 12 months MOT and the work you requested was on holiday last week - it won't be ready for another week.

I've just woken up from a nap and it's pissing down!  I'm about to arrive at St Austell where the Salesman is picking me up.  The next update will be photos of the car itself!
