So up popped a 99 vitesse in a fetching shade of moss, mud and bird poop
I just needed to get it home 
I looked at it and despite it sitting around on and off for 5-6 years and a couple of flat tyres, it didn't seem too bad...So, just blow the tyres up, fluid check etc, check the lights work, de poop the glass, clean the discs and calipers and see if anything looks ready to bend/break/fall off or otherwise be a liabilty I booked it in for an MOT, insured it and set off.
Two minutes later and the wipers are sat halfway across the screen and the motors whirling away, but all seems well (i had let it idle for 20 minutes and tootled around the lane), it's only 15 miles....until the diversion that took me ten miles back the wrong way
Its still rolling, the mrs hasn't had to dodge vacating body parts or stray wheels yet and all seems well.It drives so well, even with tyres that look like they've been on since the days of Britpop and we got back too late for the mot and with a blowing exhaust, but no smoke, steam or excitement apart from the big nut behind the wheel it was a great 46 miles
I will try and post a few before/after piccies....if i knew how
