Having owned it for 5 days, I felt it about time to write about it! This being my 2nd road car since passing my test ~17 months ago. Have been labelled insane for going from a comfortable French hatchback, to a loud, slow, thirsty, blue turd! Some people don't understand it's a labour of love.
Anyway. Here she is the night I got her. Travelled a total of 11 hours that day to get her. Set off at 11am, got back at midnight.
Fell in love with it on the way back, despite the 50mph cruise speed and frequent service station stops. £57 of diesel sound right for a 250 mile trip?
Did test me though when this happened this morning, and of course the spare is as old as the car so didn't even bother taking it off the door.
Progress will be slow, but I intend to turn it into a laner/pay and play toy. I love the road presence it has!! Lastly a picture of my father's old 2A he bought when I was 5, needless to say I blame him for the Land Rover blood in my veins.
