No mate, Richard christened it 'Devil car' Always had one issue or another, nothing major, it just used to like to let you know who was boss.

I said to Richard 'The car is ok, its just you' Just before I went to go underneath it, and the axle stand dropped!!!

It's "character", innit. Who wants a car that comes apart easily, goes together easily, never makes unseemly noises, or loses vital pieces of metal or fluids at regular intervals? Anyone can own a car like that. How boring........

Well it was green!

Your face when she wobbled on you was a picture you could feel her sniggering

She was very very fast though with strange suspension remember when we found “test rig” chalked on the rear axle!

I fear for the cars bits of her went into......

Yes Little B was the original devil car! Did some research on that a few years back for a project and that was one long list of bad luck...
