CortinaCat 1 Posted May 24, 2008 ,ing Brilliant :winner: Well done Martin. Eight years of graft all paid off in the end. Now for the real pleasures. The driving on the open road sensation. When mine first passed and I started driving her things seemed a bit strange, but then as things settled down with my driving (using 25 year old four speed rear wheel drive, non abs, non powersteering car) and the car itself settled down, an affinity grew and I love driving her now. :blink: Again Well done martin. You made that MOT testers day. :winner: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
