Znod - if you flew your car to London you are quite insane fella !!!. Well done and happy new year to you.
I am a bit pissed and I think I have lost my car in a bet. My sister dropped me and the wife back to our house and has taken the car to her flat. Is it true that Elton John never sings candle in the wind anymore ??? This is going to cost me big time I think.....

HNY. Leave the Corvette home tonight, and be careful whatever you drive. And, yes, the Queen's mechanics are highly skilled and very fast. She had the same conversion done on her 545i earlier this year.

LoL nice Diesel, too bad that they have fitted the pre-2005 model tips on your exhaust, you should complain about that
.
I've shipped my car too London too last week, I still find it hard to get used to driving a car with the steering on the right side (left) and on the wrong side of the road (left).
Below is a pic of my car in front of the Hotel (Lancaster Landmark).

Yes, I put my original wheels and my RFTs back on for the trip--given the Queen's advice. Or, was it Elton's?

OK, we did end up at part of the parade. The strike forced us to go the the Westminister tube stop to get near the old Tate. And, low and behold, there was the start of the parade. We missed most of it. The Tate was nice. Proof that we saw the parade is below. Oh, that'll be the day when you say goodbye. That;ll be the day that I die." Buddy was a sight for sore eyes. We saw "The Buddy Holly Story" the first time in London 2 years ago--I think it was. It was very, very well done and much fun.
