Got the first AutoSOLO of the season this sunday so using it for daily driver for a few days to check shes all running well.

Ive been offered 2nd refusual on an unstarted Kit car for a good price, hence why the car is for sale and possibly gonna get broken. Hopefully the other guy will drop out of buying the kit making it all mine and the sale/breaking will proceed at full speed. If not I'l keep her for another year.

Its bruised... smacked it on the bonnet of the Lex at W/E when changing pads.

The kit car is looking ever so less likely at the mo, i think the other chap who had 1st dibs on it is getting the deposit to the seller this week, meaning no breaky breaky

To an extent, speedo works fine run off of an astra transducer and a pulse converter from Dom on Migweb, revs and most warning lights are obviouslt plug n play, fuel guage works, just, it shows inverted (ie full is empty and empty is full!!) havent tried to get the coolant temp to work yet.
