Thanks Sam. Enjoyed reading that. Share that Sam's sentiment about never wanting to sell it.

On the weekend I took mine to the Isle of Wight during a hurricane, it was by far the quickest and most sure-footed thing on the Island. There was a great coastal road with perfect sightings, it became comical overtaking rows of 5 or 6 slow-moving locals in one hit... with the valves open.

I've had mine for 3 months now. Driven daily and I love it! It drives so well. Feels so easy to drive at speed. And that engine and exhaust note....

Only expense I've had is a new battery and new door latch (which I still have to fit) oh and lots and lots of shell v power!

The recommendation to live near a petrol station is a very good one.
