Well, finally got the car taxted, tested etc and took it out for a proper drive on Monday evening and then took it home to get some pics for the insurance company
Drives really well but it doesn't like potholes
Just got the castrol stripes to put on and the Compo split rims and then it's just about done and should look similar to the car in my avatar
and here's a couple of vid clips of the car in action - Quicktime plays em OK
