No, I don't use it. It was ment to be an everyday car and it lives in the carcoon now. The saph got left in all weathers for 7 years and this gets treated to a carcoon. Not bad for something I hate. I think once it's got a map on I'll start to use it and try and enjoy it, but while it's standard it just feels slow.

It looked like you'd done a rally stage at the camp site lol!

I've found some others that are totally different to any other. Will have to sell my wheels first though.

Glad you've seen the car through to how it is now, it's a credit to you

The car will never have a Colin McCrash sticker on, it's nothing to do with RB driving a Ford, it's in Respect to losing a LEGEND.

Thanks for the other comments thou
