And I presented mine for an MoT on Tuesday still sporting a cone print from the Abingdon Sprint and still full of gravel from Prescott Hillclimb and it still passed without any problems at all.

Nice one Ian :-)

I just completed a 500 mile round trip which included throwing at the Curborough circuit at Vmax a dozen times, all running nicely.......

Well lads, mine let me down massively a couple of weeks ago and I'm devastated.
The passenger door button stopped working and it took nearly one hour and cost me £12.00 because I had to buy a new soldering iron. Not sure if I can afford these running costs. smile

I know the feeling, I had a shocker at Le Mans. Reverse light stayed on all the way down and melted the plastic bulb cover , £72 fix. If somebody had told me sooner I could've taken the bulb out, ho hum who needs a reverse light anyway! and the doors started playing up as we got back to Calais. Replace the big fuse all,good.

After 900 miles of fun and at least 250 of those with the loud pedal absolutely buried to the floor I'm devastated it was so unreliable laugh

These cars really are epic. Ok so a few annoying niggles but it's a 10 year old car that easily embarrasses so called super cars. As I've said before the attention and respect it gets where ever I take it is fantastic. I just which I had £1 for all those tw4ts who say "yeah it's nice but it always breaks down doesn't it". Like you know mate, you've never even sat in one. Go back to your mondeo and I'll do a drive by that'll shake your windows!

I bought mine in March and have driven it pretty much most weekends, wind rain or sun. Annoyingly the front tires are wearing out. Bloody car!

After the respray and the local car show, heard an annoying squeak when turning the steering wheel. Turns out a seal has failed in the rack. cry
So, yesterday afternoon decided to remove it. It did not want to come out. Off for reconditioning now so no chance of driving her for the time being. Bugger frown
