Week 1

So 1 week in and I'm over the moon.

The car is simply brilliant, everything I hoped it would be. I've got to say I was slightly apprehensive in case it didn't stack up to my dreams.

You know what they say about never meeting your hero's !!!

At first the few little rattles bothered me but once you start to drive the thing you just forget you're in a 10 year old car. The handling is fantastic, the responsiveness of the engine is spot on. The driving experience is just spot on. It's precise and tight.

I haven't pushed it to hard yet whilst I get used to it but what a car. I love it.

Do I wish I had PSM now ? Nah, not really. there is just so much grip you'd have to drive like an absolute nutter to need it. Maybe if this was my main car and I'd be driving it in the wet I might have second thoughts, but as this is my fun weekend car. It's fine.

So I'm loving the car but there are a few minor problems that i need to sort out.

1. Passenger wing mirror motor isn't working.
2. one of the rear seat pads is loose.
3. Bit of a clunking from the front suspension at low speed. Probably drop links need doing.
4. Whilst the body is clean it has a few scuffs and scrapes that need attention.
5. Interior, again whilst clean, could do with a bit of a detail.
6. Air-Con. Not that cold. Need to get it checked. Probably new condensers. Ouch !!!
7. That PCM1 and Handset has to go for a modern unit.

So I've started to make a list of jobs and mods I want to do.
