Last night, I had this out on an epic adventure - covering about 120miles in deepest, darkest central belt.

Observations:
It's nearly as quick with your foot just resting, but not engaging kickdown as it is where you are 'Double kickdown BANZAI"

A B road blaster it is not, although it grips bloody well, and once speed is achieved, it can be maintained!

The headlight aim could do with some work.

Front lower arms are needed - is it a garage job?

The gearbox is a bit doddery - a fluid and filter change would be beneficial.

Lastly, and most importantly,

I do enjoy driving it - it's so comfortable, and once you work out how the engine likes to be used, it'll happily keep up with traffic. I got out at the end and felt like I'd just driven to the local supermarket.
