Cheers, it's a lot of car for £1250 and the Larini exhaust is addictive (although not good for MPG). I'm quite surprised with it to be honest. You can happily potter about keeping it below 2.5K revs and it'll burble away, be a pleasure to drive and return mid 30's mpg. Then when you feel like it you can wind it up to the red line in every gear, blow your ears off and watch the petrol gauge move at an alarming rate. It isn't actually that fast though, just feels it. I got dicked by a 106 GTI in a straight line earlier.

No, looked a bit tatty for £1K especially with no T&T.

First full tank done and returned 34.7mpg. Not bad!

Had a full on tank slapper this morning on a roundabout thought, nearly shat myself. :grin:
