Have you put it to bed again already?!

Glad you are enjoying it. We kinda hoped you might make it across to Iddon Towers to show it off :-( We were knee deep in oil and cylinder heads and in need of some entertainment!

It's been four and a half years since I had the experience of picking up and getting used to a new car, I am most envious of you. Enjoy :D

Ten years for me since I bought my Elise

It's ever so similar but much more refined, and a lot quicker


Am I the only Europa in the village?

Lawrence that is EXCELLENT. A grown up car for a grown up person...who also has a very young-at-heart side too ;-)

As for your question...

I know it's been slated in the press but i REALLY like the Europa - be really interested to hear how you get on with it 8)
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.
