    LOL!

    quote: "mechanically very sound"

    later quote: "The hand brake needs attention as it no longer works" and "4th Gear crunches a bit and sometimes pops out"

    I'd hate to see one he describes as not "very sound".

    As to what I think of it, I'll use one of my daughter's favourite expressions: meh.

    “If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls who live under tyranny.” Thomas Jefferson (1778)

    Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.
