Exciting day tomorrow... fetching this car back out of storage to enjoy the spring & summer in it
It's already T&T and insured so hopefully a quick wash and polish and it'll be good to go.

Aye, but positioning is vital:
Positioned on the rubbing strip equals a plus 5 mph speed gain, below is a 5mph speed drop.
Just above the rubbing strip is a whole 10mph speed gain.....one look tells you this is true.....

you sure did... the car looked great
Had a nice drive back down.... took it down the 51 to Wolseley Bridge then swung a right to Milford..... opened it up a couple of times and it flew once up on the revs... still a bit sluggish low down though.... throttle response is crap.... needs looking at.
Doesn't help that I'm used to driving the 205 which is like a scalded cat.
