Drove 300 miles back home. Now that the boiling point has been raised to 131bhp there is hope that the skin may be pulled off the rice pudding.

Fixed electric mirrors/windows, and fitted new tailgate badge.

Now to work out the fuel consumption - 700 x 5.56 -4.75 x 49384094 -48463 + 39953 x 6 - 3045 = er...plenty.

Had 2 people today on separate occasions say "that's a really nice car," And who am I to disagree?
