    You jammy bast!

    Lovely looking car, mate. Always loved the Coupe, for its 'avantgarde' styling, and the 'baby Ferrari' pretensions.

    It sure do shift, I may be getting a photo speeding ticket at some point, but it was worth it.

    I'm struggling for a nickname for this new stable member. I'll have to ponder that some more.

    Main attractions were the tan leather, excellent Sprint Blue (Mmmm, Blue!) paintwork, sunroof and A/C and the fact that the engine has only done ~65K since it was rebuilt and has been remapped by flea/Leighton/FCP too. Slight clunks and knocks from the suspension every once in a while too, but I'm all a bit inexperienced with these yet. Wishbones were suggested to me by the seller, the nicest guy I've met in a long time.

    Nice idea. I'll have to research that character a bit first, but thanks.

    Accepted with thanks, I like the associated idea of withdrawal symptoms from an addictive drug. So, T'JoN it is from now on.

    Tim you are greedy!

    But I'm loving it a lot! The interior is sexual and the blue exterior is the icing on the cake!

    I've no desire to "rub it in", but I've always been a petrolhead, enthusiast and hard worker, albeit I enjoyed almost every minute of that. It's now time to have fun and enjoy the fruits of my labours.

    I have to say that this must be the most cost-efficient bit of 'fun' in my experience. £1350 basic cost (throw in an extra £50 or so for the train fare, I won't count the inspection trip) and I was gob-smacked at the Flux quote of £255 comp. < 5K miles! You can get 35mpg out of it too, if that's not too hard to believe?
