Yep, i would be more than happy for you to ride shotgun in the Punto Jay.
Thanks for the kind offer - I will be really busy with work, qualifications and I am nearly at the end of my contract - I also have my driving tests soon. Maybe one day! It sounds good. thumbup

Nice. When I get a car what I am going to do is book two days annual leave, get the car and show local mates in evening and then wake up early the next morning and fill the tank and just drive until it is at half a tank, turn around and drive home. It should give me a couple of hundred miles xp.

Apologies to melvster for taking the thread off-topic. Sorry! smile

I didn't even drive around for no reason hehe the mileage just builds so easily. Although £80 of fuel in one week is the only way I realised just how much I had driven laugh

I had one a few years ago and IIRC they have solid disks on the front... so if you plan on doing any 'spirited' driving get the callipers & vented disks from the HGT model!
