How do you get along with yours Matt?
Garage near me has just got an orange one in, same version as yours, i've always liked the look of them but never really read up on them. Any chance you can stick some details up of how they drive, running costs etc etc. as i'm thinking of a change in car ATM and this might fit the bill.

its a lovelly car, I really really love it, only problem I have had is a rear wheel baring, that only cost me £50 though speed wise its quick enough, its 130bhp, if you want more, they re map to between 180 - 190 bhp. does about 420 miles to a tank on a motorway run, and never any less than 42 mpg round town, interior feels solid enough, gear change is a bit notchy on mine though, thats the only small grip I have

What does it cost to fill up though? And, what sort of speeds are you doing 
These seem CHEAP at the moment and i fancy another new car Need to shift two pugs though

yeah can pic them up for £5k ish now I think, Ive never got more than £45 in, and that £45 normally gets me to cardiff and back and then a day or 2 mooching
my cruising speed is around 80 - 95ish because I go late and the traffic is light

cool, what did you get
the white one btw is a series 2, its a 1.4 16v GP. It has the carbon fibre centre thing which is very very nice (bit chavy though ) the headlights dont seem dark on it because of technical things inside the camera to do with exposures, white cars are a pain

the white one is also on Corsa D SRi shocks, which are very stiff, it handles just like mine does on the eibachs, he has eibachs on order so it might be even better with them on

Explains the diesel wheels.. Tbh they're more of an anthracite colour in the headlamps so that wouldn't of helped
Hmm same chassis really.. How come he got the starjet? I did a couple of test drives with customers a few weeks back in the mito and compared to the petrol and diesel turbo they're just so flat it's unbearable, shame really when the 500 1.4 is actually quite rapid
I'm thinking if ordering the eibachs again and getting the forge bars
