    Finally got a phone call off Ford yesterday arranging for delivery for next Thursday morning (22 June) - hurrah!! :beer::j:j:T

    They've set it up with a 7 day "drive away" insurance to give me time to sort my own out and got me a "personalised" numberplate - which doesn't seem very personalised to me - **** LWS - which vaguely represents my name. I'd have preferred a "FAB" numberplate!! :D:D

    I'm in the process of putting up a web-page as we speak!! Obviously, the photos I've currently got are ones that either Ford or Nestle have sent me, or that I've "borrowed" from other locations on the internet - but I'll be out there with a camera when it arrives! :D

    Get it sold Stumpy! It would be folly to keep it, have you had any offers yet? You could get yourself a nice little runaround and pay for its upkeep for the next three or four years with the profit.
    Four guns yet only one trigger prepare for a volley.


    Together we can make a difference.

    I'm gonna try! Am planning on putting it up on e-bay, but I've been tracking a few streetka's on there and they're not selling very well. Admittedly this is a rather unusual one and the signature may bring a bit more value to it, but in essence it's a 2004 Ford Streetka with a weird paintjob - only registered this year.

    I've had loads of people say they were jealous and would really like it - but no offers as yet. :confused:

    I've even contacted a local "cars of the stars" museum and a "Thunderbirds" forum, but no joy. :rolleyes:
