DMV trip? There goes the whole day. We'll be lucky to get pics before midnight.
:jester:
 
If it were Monday or Friday I'd agree. But Tuesday morning? Naahhh. Don't give 'im excuses to drag this out, David! :jester:
 
Done and done! There are many benefits to living in the country, amongst them are quick service at the local DMV. Never a wait, and the ladies there are very friendly. Car is now inspected and registered, and the title transferred over (I'll get the new title in the mail in a week or two).

All in all, a busy two hours!

A few pics in the driveway to tide y'all over. I'll get some more glamour shots and some video of the unloading posted later on.

All in all, I'm pleased with the car. It is as advertised. Crack-of-doom in the RH door will need attention soon, but other than needing a good tuneup things seem to be working fine. I've got an entire box of documentation to go through as well. Car still has its original engine (I like the originality) and is pretty clean over all. Lots of questions to follow, for now I need to go back out and drive a little more.

:banana: :banana:
 
NICE!

Happy for you I am.

:cheers:

Well Drew;
That car looks vaguely familiar.
I do hope you are satisfied, It looks great in your driveway.
I know how much documentation he had as I was allowed to go through it.
This is a nice car, I'm so happy for you.
Now show us pics of your smilin' face in the pilots seat.

Dave :driving: :banana:
 
She's a beauty! I know you will enjoy the comforts of a B.
:cheers:
 
Nice. Glad it arrived safe-n-sound, looks neat as a pin. :thumbsup:
 
congrats! looks super.
 
No time soon, apparently. :jester:
 
Either he got hisself on the open highway and just kept going, or he's at the side of the road somewhere.
Search Party?

nah, just sittin' in the passenger seat looking for the steering wheel. :devilgrin:
 
hehehe.

I have a spare steering wheel, so my wife won't feel so bad riding in the LF seat in the Jag.......
 
I'm just fine there folks, now stop fretting. Had to stop the fun early this afternoon due to some evening commitments. Pictures and video to follow in the morning...
 
So Drew,have the neighbors come out with torches & pitchforks,
or are they cool with your new purchase?
Looks great,by the way.

The British are Coming! The British are Coming!
 
Neighbors probably don't even know it is here. With the Tunebug in my rental garage, the MGB is in my current garage so all looks normal.
