I put the wife on video duty and thats the best she could manage. And another still of her feet. She couldnt read the sat nav either as I was trying to gauge how far out the speedo was. Ever so funny when a bug went down her top.

It was quick but to bumpy to really play.
Loads of torque, it span the wheels in first,second and third
Lift of the power and a tug of the wheel and plant it, the back end comes out I love Rwd.

I am tempted to sell it and build another.
Could do with a touch more room and love the building.

That must be a great feeling. I am trying to find somewhere to take my RIOT to for a shakedown before IVA. Any ideas?
