totally agree murph,

it is brill to drive. I actually work in Dalkeith, so not to far from your good self. I'm looking forward to going on some sort of instructor guided airfield / track day. I also need 2 new rear tires, currently have a full set of bridgestones. Any ideas where is best to get them from? Also wondering about how best to keep her clean? any advice on waxes / cleaners?
