stevewinn Posted February 28, 2020 Author #230 Share Posted February 28, 2020 she has arrived. Weather was terrible, gale force winds, freezing rain, I was soaking wet, drove home in my boxies and t shirt with air con on full blast and heated seats on full wack. just about dried off and got feeling back in my fingers as i arrived home. I cant wait to get onboard this weekend. She's massive, looks big on photos, but in the flesh she's something else. Great British engineering.
