Caz,

This is my thinking as well... may as well enjoy it while I can and its effectively savings sitting there with the minimal depreciation.

Well, I did it.

Bought a 1.4k series 'limited edition roadsport' from the guys at Sevens & Classics. Callum, Tim & Andy were great and I can't recommend them enough.

The car, well... It's absolutely great! It came with the supersport kit so 128bhp and 100 lb-ft I believe.. Twincam is addictive (reminds me of the old mr2 or my mates type R) it has the 6 speed box and LSD and although it originally wore R888s I asked the guys to put some academy tyres on so I can exploit the chassis a little bit.

We were lucky enough to have some fantastic weather over the weekend so I explored the local lanes a little bit and it really is a go cart! Flat through corners and you just turn the wheel and it changes direction.. With the close ratio gearbox the 1.4 is more than enough power for now and I'm looking forward to getting to one of the l7club meets soon

Congrats smile

Always liked the idea of the 1.4 SS with the 6 speed. Sounds fabulous, as per here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-iiMP27xac
