Well since selling my old eg6 sir a few years ago and regretting it iv been on the lookout for another clean example and i was browsing thro a few threads on here and noticed @KieranEG6 had hinted he was thinking of selling his sir2 so advertised the eg i had at the time as i just felt like it was always going to be someone else's car even tho it was a great car

So after i sold that i fired kieren a pm and after a while we sorted out a price and so i started to plan how i was going to get the car from the isle of man to scotland, so i booked the ferry over for 2:30am and me and the misses drove down to heysham ferry port in my daily astra leaving at 10:30pm
we arrived in isle of man at about 6:30am meeting kieran i had a quick look over the car and a test drive and i was happy the car was as described so i handed over the money and was back on the ferry at about 7:30
Now for the scary part i let the misses drive the eg back up the road
So we got home around 5pm with no problem really apart from a loose negative on the battery
So the next day i grabbed some pics
The car spec list atm is
Standard b16a engine
baffled decat
dc2 mid section
standard ek9 backbox
Dc2 shocks and lowering springs
Advan Sa3R's 15"
Dc5 rear caliper conversion
All original bronze glass
Sir wind deflectors
Full black interior
power folding mirrors
optional extra lsd
front gatherers
Goodridge braided brake lines
Spoon rep rear spoiler
Rpc stage 1 clutch
Slam panel blank
optional extra Stanley yellow fogs
there is prob more iv missed but i will update as i go
i checked insurance and got a cheap quote from adrian flux with a classic policy and took the car for its mot
i had a good look underneath and it is super clean as kieran had a going over it in his ownership, the car passed with zero advisories so i was very happy with that
when i sold my last eg i kept mt seats recaro spg/ and my hans recaro kevlar wrap around bucket seat 7 point cusco cage and a load of other stuff that i had sitting waiting to go on but atm im not sure what route i want to take the car so i will see how i feel over winter time when the car is off the road and go from there
i bought a set of amber corners and fitted them as im not a fan of clear's
i took the car down to jae the other weekend as iv been the last 3 years all in different cars each time
the car ran perfect over the 600 mile round trip even with the car being loaded full of stuff cheap lows
after jae i had a couple of days off so i gave it a proper wash and clean
Well that is me upto date so far i think sorry for all the pics
