Posted 6 years 10 months ago #182817Though it's a daily driver it also keeps my tinkering and spannering alive, and yes I do enjoy driving it also.
It's enjoyable and annoying in equal measure: annoying in that it could have been such a better car from design stage. The styling gives me pleasure, the old fashioned parts bin equipment level less so. Modern but retro styled instrumentation, a better designed and engineered power unit, mohair hood etc would have made much difference. Big tick for mid engine layout, big minus for the x2 Metro suspension!
We've had it for over five years now.... Would we have another? Hmmmm
Other than kid interludes, we've always had a sports car in the family. Did our teenage courting in a Midget. Difficult but not impossible. When the TF removes yet another layer of skin from my knuckles, an insurance job quarry fire is an attractive thought but a crisp winter day with the hood down and heater on cancels that out.
It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

To be honest, I think since I sorn'd it end of November, there's probably only a couple of days I may have driven it.
Missing it a little, but happy the rock salt isn't attacking the metalwork.
I'm probably going to get the tax sorted for February, but I'll only be driving on dry grit free days.
Big plus too I've been doing a few jobs I've neglected doing while the car has been on the road.
