just took mine for re-test this morning, and went the long way round,
which is the first ( and last

) proper drive i have had in it,
and boy i was grinnnig the whole way there and the whole way back...
I really had forgotten how much fun they are to drive, esp with all the sound effects of twin carbs roaring and cracking and popping on over-run

( am so glad i got another to replace it)
and to me they dont even look old fashioned like most 70`s/80`s cars do.
Utterly brilliant machine.
