Yes i shall join the rest of them in saying

YOU ARE NOT A DRIVING GOD try not to bin it as the problem with light cars is they have very little mass to hide your mistakes.

Congratulations on the purchase :cheers

I enjoyed reading the thread and all the technical stuff. Browsing through PH Classifieds regularly (I like doing that!!) I thought that car really looked smart when I first spotted it. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh :thumbsup

The car is stunning in flesh just gave it a wee wash after a long let us say spirited drive where the front was a grave yard of flies. Man I can not begin to explain the feeling driving it haha! My dad just came in from work there and away out in it grrrrrrrrr he loves it, its a beast
