So I went to Brecon from Derby to pick the lil beasty up - pics taken by Steve - Yeti
quite apt the colour scheme of the petty station and cars
Steve played catch up for most of the journey
174 miles later it was at the MOT station
and i was left with a 3 page 40 item list of fail =/
so a month later, the day after the mot was done the car had its first outing at VWNW, Tatton Park
then at edition 38 - with some new wheels.
i have a fetish for the OZ "routays"
and then the quest for more power was sought
current guise
