Cant see anyone giving a negative comment on that. Good choice and nice to see you didnt badge snob it like a lot of others would have.

Lovely car, sold my Holden about 5 years ago. Don't worry about the the mpg, it's a smiling tax smile

Also that car is capable or really good mpg once you learn how to drive it for economy, I used to get 25 on a run thanks to the ridiculously long 6th gear.

Go and visit the lads at Monkfish or Wortech, there are some great supercharger convertions out there now. Buying it is only the beginning of a very long journey biggrin

I'm night shift at the moment, so not had the chance to do much with the car, or go to the clan meet. I'm Looking forward to my days off so i can take her a proper run.

At the moment im lucky if im getting about 16 mpg, although it doesn't help that every one wants hear her getting started up. I think that must have wasted about a gallon in petrol alone. My Impreza turbo wasn't exactly frugal when it came to petrol consumption, so i should be used to it.

Im sure on a decent run i will get a lot better, well maybe not a lot, but better.

Thanks for the positive comments
