Thanks very much!

I also rather like the wheels, though I can take no credit for choosing them!

Actually the nuts and centre caps could do with replacing to tidy them up a bit more :)

Well I"ve owned my Camaro for 7 weeks now and so far am completely underwhelmed!

Not really the fault of the car, but I've only managed to drive it home from the garage and back to the garage really (and one short trip to the Ace!)

It's been back at the garage I bought it from having a few issues fixed that were supposed to have been fixed before I picked it up, the oil leaks from engine and gearbox, and the problem with the door latches and locks. They are also doing the brakes which were sticking on.

I shouldn't complain too much, they are pretty much replacing the entire braking system as well as fixing the leaks and doors, just frustrated I still cannot drive it!!!

I'm not at home this weekend anyway, but believe me if I could have got it back early I would have, I've already ripped chunks out of one poor guy on the phone for seriously failing to meet expectations!

Well I finally have it back! Turned up on the back of a low loader about two hours ago.

I haven't checked it over yet, but the door locks now work at least! i will have to check over the rest tomorrow in the light :)

Good to hear it's back in your possession! Have you had a chance to inspect?

Hmm, not really, but i have driven it! I gave it a quick look over and took it for a spin (and drove it to work today!).

It appears ok so far, the door locks work, the brakes work. Not checked if the oil leaks have been fixed yet but I will get it up on a ramp soon to check it properly.

Now begins the long process of finding and fixing all the little bits that need addressing :)
