Nice looker Graham. My daughter used to call hers Zippy which has become my generic name for z'ies. Feel free to take it on - With a 'Zippy & Tink' the worlds yours  .

Thanks all. Have to admit I'm not looking forward to trying to keep it looking clean. I know how hard the MX-5 has been in that department. Zippy? I guess Sue might fall for that one... Mind you, she wanted to call the 90 Bluebell  Hopefully, if all is OK I should be collecting at lunchtime. See how long it takes Sue to notice the car change. The chrome gills might give it away... Cheers,

Well done lad. And I see it's already got a windstop...... Ta Dave! Apparently they're necessary to stop buffeting. What's that then?  It takes any possible storage space from the parcel shelf if the hood is up though... Just had the dealer on the phone - failed MoT - cracking in tyre sidewalls, so he's got to fit new. I knew one was down to 1.7 / 1.8mm and had already said it needed replacing. Now collecting tomorrow... Cheers,

And where are the driving impressions, etc, Graham?

Hehe, I don't think driving impressions would be valid after only 80 miles Brian! Only used it to trundle back and forth to work so far. It is more comfortable and quieter, with taller gearing than the MX-5. Doors shut with a nice thunk rather than the tinny sound of the Mazda, too!  May use it for the next run up to Sister's in early March, that should give me a better impression. SWMBO still hasn't noticed the change yet. But then she can walk down the driveway and not notice the 90 is missing  . I'm betting it will be another week before she notices anything, unless someone else tells her! Dealer has my old Black 5 up for £2295  Cheers,

I thought you'd be out putting miles on it Graham  You're now keeping us all in suspense, but what to do - we'll have to hang on, but in the meantime what about some  Trust your sister is making good progress? Awaiting your news Graham... Cheers Brian
