Nice driving

Have you changed anything else other than fitting Konis (yellow ones?)

It is a quick car once you get the momentum going, the one thing I don't like though is the modulation (or lack of) of the brakes, they are over assisted and not progressive.

It has Koni STR.T dampers on the front and Sports on the back (on their lowest settings), otherwise it's a standard set up. I think I must have got used to brakes, I don't have an issue - have always used EBC Greenstuff pads and they've been effective.

So what will the new car be?
Whatever it is, do bring it to Prescott!

I have a Fiesta "Red Edition" on order. Got a good deal and it ticks a lot of the boxes.. the one litre turbo 140bhp engine also fits hillclimb regs well, but not sure if I'll be brave enough! Prescott is on the list, it's only 90mins away and I really should.

Excellent. They look like good sporting motors. Will keep and eye on the entry lists
