Yeah it's basically fine. I'll get the little niggling bits sorted and then post some proper photos in the owners gallery.

Yeah just about. It did start to overheat, stuck in traffic, which was a little unnerving. Fine when I got onto the motorway though. It's been stood up a while, so when I checked the coolant it stunk of rust. I'll get it flushed on the weekend.

Minor petrol leak near the fuel filler and brakes aren't too clever. Going to go see my mate Nads on the weekend and he should be able to sort most of it. M30 does sound lovely though - it's my first time :)
