Lol, it stayed up on the way home and it pissed it down at one point. Just been out for a country lane blast with the heaters on, roof down and Lizzie in the passenger seat. AWESOME CAR! It sounds amazin with the exhaust blasting though a tunel with the top down. Lizzie's already taken it out for a short drove and she loves it, I'm forgiven!

She is yeah, looks like I'll be driving her fiesta more often than I would like form now on! :grin:

Just been out to try it out in the dark, lights are pretty good although it seems odd having those great big pop ups in your field of vision. It was also a bit greasy out so though it rude not to wag the tail on a couple of roundabouts. :grin:

Plans are just to enjoy it. The only things I want to get done are the alignment and get it into someone who knows about these cars to give it a good timing/fuelling set up. Only other things are spray the front grill black and maybe change the door mirrors for original BRG ones. Oh and maybe a hard top for winter, but not really got anywhere to keep it in the summer and they're expensive.

Oh yeah and I need guy to work his magic on the slightly flat paint.

Momo Team 300mm?

apart from that I kinda like it, never driven one tbh, although I am told they are a fun little car.
