How exactly?
I know he's answered but, not everyone needs a car, they have them for fun / because they like cars so something 'impractical' is totally fine as an only car. I'd rather BAC Mono to an Atom, but either way I could quite happily use one as my only car...the BAC being even more impractical.
On that DC5...has someone put tape over the 'k' for km/h?

It looks like its time for me to trade in my Mondeo, I think a DMF is due soon and my Girlfriend hates driving it. So Ill probably have to downsize. I always wanted an EP3 back when I was about 20. Now Im 30 and they are a lot cheaper, I kinda have the urge.
Is it foolish to consider expensive examples with low mileage? Premier Editions are pushing 7k for <40k miles on em.
The reason I would like low mileage is because I can see myself doing 15k a year in it and I rarely change cars.
although to be honest I think in reality Id be driving 60 miles a day on A roads, and as fun as it would be, I do imagine the ride would become a bit harsh

My EK9 had that. It's cheaper than buying new dials.
Edit: UKDM EK3/4 dials would fit in an EK9 and look crap, not sure what you could put in a DC5. Doubt anything would fit.

No, he has glass in stock now, so you just turn up once booked.
I'm not going to lie, the roof isn't perfect, few threads here and there, when I look out the rear I can see that the material isn't 100% straight just above the glass. It's stuff you can tidy up yourself easy enough. But it keeps the water out and looks fine from the outside. But I've also read similar stories from other much more expensive fitters. For the price I can't argue, when it falls apart in x years then just get another.
^ Reading that again makes it sound worse than what it is.
That's good to hear. Will make mine look brand new again if I could sort the roof and get the wheels re-done.
Alas my MOT is due and the service wont be soon after so will be saving the pennies for now.

Indeed it's common with most imports to just mask or scribble the "k" out, and often not done with aesthetics in mind.
Most of the time you are just going to want to get it through the SVA process as soon as possible - not mucking around swapping dials or what not. On my Evo the dials are black and the k is "coloured in" using a permanent marker. It doesn't break my heart looking at it.

Surely white tape would look better...I dunno, it just looked really cheap and pointless with the black tape on white dials. Gayjin (hah still makes me laugh), colouring in the letter black makes sense on black dials, it's less obvious.
