well, the white fella has been enjoying hoofing around the city centre for the past few weeks.
im still getting used to the different 'characteristics' of the new setup and working out whether
any of the new rattles and pops are going to cost me money!

Here he is parked beside Ted... I know, I know :P

Green GT's are much faster Bert :D maybe it is time for a yellow Clubman to join the 16v Club.

FINALLY put some miles on him today. Had a lovely spin down to Waterford and back. Took in some lovely backroads too.
He's driving beautifully, the BMW head really is a hoot to drive. The temptation to give it the full shoe is unreal!
The interior needs a complete freshen up, new seats, dash etc... he's got some bodywork issues,
much like myself I spose :D

just some more pics.
