Well the deed is done, and she's all mine now! I haven't taken any photos, there's nothing new to see anyway. She looks great from afar, but the closer you get the more you notice the dirt. And it's only been one day of ownership so far! The rain last night and today didn't help.
The only things I've done so far are to tighten up the throttle cable, top up the coolant, clean out the junk from the bottom of the boot, clean the haze off the windows and scrape the dealer sticker off the back window. There will be more to come, but you can wait for that...
Observations? The suspension seems in very good shape - plenty of rebound left in the dampers. The spare tyre is completely bald! Also it was sticking to the underlay and slightly rusty, so some water may have been in the boot at some point. The battery is a bit lacking in grunt, but all NBs seem to have the problem of slow cranking to some degree. I'll have to get Sab in to tap some dents out of the door and straighten the fuel flap.
And I picked a name for her. I wanted something that fit the looks and personality: black, sexy curves, shiny bling, will probably be dirty, and will definitely be spanked regularly. So meet Tyra.
