Lovin it so far.:smt055 Very quirky car. It takes some getting used to but im enjoying it. The mpg scared me at first on returning 18 mpg. This was round town showing my mates ;-) But a drive to Wales and back saw 29 mpg. So not all bad.
The car doesn't need to much doing to it but needs a good detail clean.
I'm struggling with using the forum on my iPhone 5. Posts load up last post first page??? I've tried playing with hybrid and linear modes but the then don't show up correctly. Is it me or some setting . Can anyone help ?

Enjoy the forum :-D

Good work. Life is short and you now own a motoring legend.
They don't make cars like these any more. Enjoy.

stunned ! im bet you guessed from the reg :-) yes its me ! Still got the nova tucked up in the garage. Its got to go.I think im going to brake it for spares :bigcry:Its not been on the road for 2 years and only 1 cadwell trackday last year. The CSL isnt as fast as the nova but its close. In fact you might be interested in my video of me chasing a caged/modified Z3M round the ring. Only on the last straight could i use the power fully :blalalala:Listen for the beep at the end.

Unless you drive like Craig & I, we return 32mpg on a hot lap but we look good out there & that's all that matters :gayfight:

brings back memories that! one thing that stands out tho is how quite the ring used to be compared to now! :banghead:
i only remember your reg as back then we were the only ones running quaife straight cut boxes with custom final drives and after a bit of research i robbed the idea off you :hahaha:
don't miss my corsa one bit, braking seems the only way. had mine up for £4800 which is a lot for an old corsa and had no bites in months, broke it for bits and stopped counting when it made £6500. and every last bit went aswel, the vauxhall lot are like vultures!
