Been using mine as my daily wheels for the last three weeks. I took the car to to the new misses parents the first time I met them her dad called it a classic :eek: never heard a GTT called that before. Been stopped at a few traffic lights expecting to be shouted at for driving like a dick only to be told there story of owning one many years ago and how great a car they are. Also always "you don't see many of these anymore" just because of that I'm going to drive little old Beatrice more often.

Funny you should say about blowing your oil return pipe mine popes off on one of my first runs the other week. :sad:

Moved mine to my other garage approx 400 yards away does that count? First outing in 6 month. Some divvy middle aged bloke in a scenic nearly ploughed into me, he was turning a corner on wrong side of the road, couldnt believe it lol.

Gave the wifes 225 some boost over the moor roads yesterday though, was epic.

A tip for you two with the oil return hose, brake cleaner all parts thoroughly before refitting, the hose will go super sticky and never comes off ;)

Each time I did the jublly clip up it just slipped off the hose in the end I had to use two clips was right doing my noodle in. :scratch:
