Yeah, I'd like to only keep this for a year as a sort of project. I really wanted the VTS model, but couldn't get insured on it so this was the next best thing. I still love it though. Hopefully I can get a VTS next year

Yes mate he replaced it all as part of the service, but i'm yet to take it out for a spin yet so it could be sorted now. Yeah it's a hydraulic clutch

So managed to get an eBay bargain. 4 fully refurbed Wolfrace Kendo alloys with 4 brand new tyres, 4 20mm Hubcentric spacers and 16 extended wheel bokts for £200. Went to pick them up earlier today and got them straight on;
Sorry about the poo pictures
I love them though

So after just over a month
the car's up for sale...
Wasn't my cup of tea at all, the only bit I enjoyed was that it's really nippy. Old car's all the way imo, better to drive, easier to work on and usually cheaper to buy and run. If anyone's interested inbox me, it is a good little step up from a B if you can afford to run it and you're looking for a fun car to drive.
It's safe to say, i've learnt my lesson.
