If you get stranded in your car at least you'll have company!

Make haste slowly....

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 06:23 AM

did I say 10 or 15 minutes

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 06:36 AM

Ok, this is how the day went, woke early and did the natural thing and got straight on the forum. Saw a thread on the explorer 1 and liked the simple uncluttered look of it but thought it might be too small. Left to play golf and had an hour to spare so went to the local AD and had a look at the Exp1 and liked the size(39mm I think).
Got to golf and it was cancelled so went back home and had a look on the dreaded auction site and bingo, a 2 month old unworn Exp 1. No bids so rang up, drove up and bought it home. Happy days. By the way, I had it checked this time BEFORE I PAID FOR IT

.

So here you go .....I'm all excited and now I've forgotten how Name: image.jpg

Being nosy... But where did u drive to? What's the weather like?

esm · 18 January 2013, 06:45 AM

nice - how did you get it checked out in such a short time?

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 06:47 AM

Drove from Hampshire to Coventry, weather for the most part was good, a few snow showers but not too bad, 2 hours 45 going but hit the rush hour on the m25 so took just over 4 hours to get back. Lots of severe weather warnings along the way for tonight and tomorrow

travisb · 18 January 2013, 06:48 AM

Wwll worth the drive. Congrats!

legend9999 · 18 January 2013, 06:48 AM

Jesus I bet the m25 was rammed. Yeah loads of weather warnings and I'm supposed to be going on holiday on Saturday.. Just hope the airports stay open!

Sam Philip · 18 January 2013, 06:49 AM

Congrats!

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 06:50 AM

When i phoned up I told him I wouldnt buy it even if it meant coming home empty handed unless he could find someone to open it for me. He phoned when I was about 40 mins into the journey and said a shop in town would open it (wasnt a RSC) so I had a look inside and it looks good to me. I asked him to tighten it lightly cos i will need to have it pressure tested tomorrow so i will have a look in a mo and put pics up

JohnBoy · 18 January 2013, 06:50 AM

That one is worth the day's drive! Congrats!
