Ade, yeah they are pretty tricky. I'm getting there, I sit on the sill and slide in, then pull my legs in. To get out, legs out over sill and pull self up - it all looks a bit girly but it's fast so ok if nobody is watching! Either of the two cars you mentioned would be nice- if we had USA fuel prices!
Robert, not had much chance to try it properly yet except for in a straight line- it's pretty quick but it's really all about the handling, just coming off a round about today I got the first feeling of it, so direct, no body roll at all - brilliant fun but can see how it would catch you out if slippery.
Dave, it's straight in the garage when I get home and in a secure car park at work as I work for a munitions company so I'm ok on that front!
Thanks David, as Robert said, I just thought what the heck, if I don't do it now I probably never will! The cars I have will never be mine though, always the banks - this one belongs to Tesco!!!

Thanks Pete, it had to be said at some point!
John, a lot of people still swear by Fords over here - they are good, but they don't make any sports cars any more as such. The best at the moment is probably the Focus RS hot hatchback, it's a monster but it's front wheel drive.
Nice motor Robert. There is something about the big old american cars. Actually the guy I bought mine from was really into them and has some sort of chevy coming in a few days he had to make way for. I nearly bought a british classic before this (TR6 or GT6) but I will do that another day!
Kwackers

I very nearly went for my bike license but I bottled it. I just couldn't justify the cost as they really are a toy!
