I went out in the Courtenay Nova that they built for VBH in the Jeremy Clarkson video.
That was amazing, noise from the straight cut gearbox was awesome!

hey it wasnt my fault, that bus driver was a maniac, pulling out of a bus stop an all.
Lee- u remember just after that when i booted it again and the HT lead fell of the dizzy, with all the smoke comin off the temp exhaust i thought id blown it up

My first experiance was rather amusing, I ended up on top of a roundabout after to days it was then that I relised that the supposidly 2ltr brakes wernt good enough to slow the car down

My first experience wasn't good 
After just 10mins of picking it up from Lee's I was caught speeding and then 10mins later one of the hoses decided to split and water was pouring out of the bonnet! I thought I had blown it up too 
But its all good now
