Are you gonna keep the Hiopmog badge - just to remind you where you bought the car? Regards Alan AP08 MOG 2016 Plus 4 GDi - Mazda Soul Red Metallic

If not I'll keep them, but unlikely they'll be displayed on the front of the car. The badge bar fitted is a wide version, pushing the drive lamps out of position. So, I'll be fitting my old bar from RTA, which is narrower. I might seek a rear bar though . There were a couple of badges at Tetbury Classic Car Show last weekend that I was interested in (RNLI & National Trust) but the seller wanted too much money...

Yes Simon, for the last 4 weeks after I let RTA go, I had serious doubts whether I was doing the right thing, but this new one, on the 153 mile drive home (just a minor detour ) has proven to be a revelation. Better seating, tauter feel, suspension is right - no nodding dog found yet - just more comfortable (apart from the transmission tunnel and narrow footwell). I will have to relearn how to extricate myself though, levering on the back of the banch seat with left arm/elbow doesn't work when all one can find is the gap between two seats Cheers, Graham (G4FUJ) Sold L44FOR 4/4 Giallo Fly '11 MINI Countryman Cooper D All4 '90 LR 90 SW

Can't (won't) fit a 'Trinket Box' there as a result. http://franks4x4-solograndetour.blogspot.co.uk/ Combat Stress-http://www.justgiving.com/Roadster100

The car looks great, I'm sure you'll have loads of fun in it. Brings to mind Donovan's song Mellow Yellow. Giles. Mogless in Paris.
