Picked it up yesterday, and only just getting to grips with it really. It's a brilliant car, but I'm not a good enough driver to really exploit it just yet. In the meantime, some pictures:


Dealer's photo.


Safely at home on the drive. It will be living a carport under a full cover at our new house when we move in next month.


Taken on a hoon through the New Forest.





Future plans are to get my personal plate onto it, some metal window winders (plastic ones are comically fragile. I've seen Pez dispensers more solidly built) and of course a PH sticker. Power, brakes etc. are all fine for now, thankyou very much!

Lovely car, nice to see you found one!

I'm sure you'll love it.

Mine is currently broken (my doing!), the front wheels are unfortunately facing in different directions, I hope I have the talent to put it back together again! Brilliant little cars.

Hi chum,

Apologies for not posting on your thread earlier, no excuses!

Your car looks absolutely superb (especially in the pic above) and I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying it as much as you'd hoped and certainly was worth saving for.

As mentioned by others, get yourself on a Carlimits day to learn the car (and yourself) in a risk free environment, I organise a few customers days there each year and usually take along someting interesting for hot laps so I'll keep you in the loop if you like?

That sounds great. I'd like to wait until the weather improves a bit I think, so early Spring would be good for me?

Took it to the valeters in West Quay today, they couldn't work the alarm either! Many nice comments though, although they laughed when I couldn't fit my new suit in the boot. Had to go on the passenger seat. The shame.

I'm thinking of March time for the next one so yes that could work, I'll be there with either an Evora S or 2 Eleven plus is to would be great to meet you after all this time (not in a gay way though, obviously... )
