Best touch wood then! Its been a cracker, but my co car did have gearbox trouble and that contributed to a blown motor, (went into 2nd at 90 not 4th!!).
I went to a trackday at Castle Coombe in it when my MK2 broke a driveshaft. It was surprisingly quick! A guy in a Pulsar GTiR who's arxe I was glued to (he was holding me up in the turns big time!!) came over in the pits after and said, "wow, you were all over me! What you done to it!" He seem a bit surprised when I said "pumped the tyres up!!"
Its top spec one of course and has a jazzy interior (Full bright red leather and allly controls etc), but it does really fly. To be honest not much slower than my chiped 1.8T, especially if you use the revs!
GF loves it too,the interior is a bit of a tarts boudoir, so it suits her! Which is good news for me as she don't nag me then!!
Say what you like about Rovers, but at least they aint Saxos! lol
