Shame!
I would finish up the engine job - and then do the full body job - on my
Primrose and driver her!
For a car that I was meant to only have for 12 months I have fallen in
love with my little car and get immense amounts of pleasure driving her
top-down in all weather conditions (with everyone staring at me in the
pouring rain like I am a mad-man).
I am serious! This is the first car I have a crush on and although I
might get myself my S2000 or my McLaren to have a bit of a thrash in, I
can't see myself cruising daily in anything else than my Primrose - just
tarted up a little more (and the car too).
When the maximum speed limits around here are 65mph and they are going
to change most non-arterial road limits to 30mph, who needs grunt!
I wouldn't my 'B daily now if I didn't like her.
