aaaah...Scotland I am definitely planning to go there with mine.

Looks a bit chilly to have the top open though...

so,how was the drive?

PhilA · 02-03-2005, 06:53 AM

lo

didnt notice it being cold, apart from one bit when pressing on - hat i had wasnt thick enuff

apart from that, i was cozy

im still running her in - however, i bonded more with the car on the drive.
amazing how quickly it responds. i mean, i was a little close to the inside, on a left hander - so turned right abit to move away.. and almost ended up over the white line on the middle of the road... turned more left again and instantly was on the right line . . . so light on its feet...

i was using the brake less and less the more i drove... finding more grip, or rather, gaining confidence in the handling. i can tell this will be fun to learn!

I hit the 2nd cam for the first time - nice! grinned!
cant wait for a week on saturday - get the service done and then the reins come off

Uh oh, PhilA, how can you be so happy with that car? They mounted the steering wheel on the wrong side!!

Ok, bad joke, but I was confused for a second.
