Still own it. Due to my having holes in my pockets the restoration is going far too slowly. But needless to say that when i first bought it it was mint, and i loved it to bits

Got given it by an elderly neighbour, stripped it completely in two days, fitted cage, seat and extinguisher, came 4th in race 1, 3rd in race 2 and did the automotive equivelant of a treble salco in the third, ending up on its roof.

*n

What did your neighbour say?

Had it since last July, I would say it's been faultless, Planning on getting rid next Summer(2007). It might be slow and underpowered, but I don't mind it.
