Just upgraded Ann’s 2020 Kodiaq for an ex demonstrator 73 plate Kodiaq - a good deal as they are introducing a new version and want to clear ‘old stock’.

Keeping an eye out for a Citroen Ami as youngest Padawan will be able to drive it when 16.
Would be fine in town but in the wilds of rural Perthshire???

Reading the forums the Ami doesn't qualify for a 16-year old UK moped license since it's too heavy.... but you can drive at 14 in France!

Hi,

Sold my Elise sport 220 and Caterham 420s and bought an Exige Sport 390 FE in what looks like (not sure what the colour is called..) azure blue. It doesn’t have the black pack which is a bonus. Had some practical mods done at Craig’s couple of weeks ago. Here’s hoping for some nice weather..

Cheers,
Cowan
