Ha, the offroading was all me.... First trip out was a festival carpark.I also live in in the arse end of nowhere and my road has been covered with water and tractor goo for the last week.

Going to stretch its legs on a six hour drive to Cornwall this weekend and then get on with the last jobs. Wife wants me to get breakdown cover, told her not to worry about it for another 100,000 miles but she doesn't believe me :D

Got to say that I've never had a car that gets this much attention. Guy from the garage thinks he's going to get one. One of the mechanics who did the brake pads took it on a test drive to 'test the brakes' not sure why he felt the need to test the brakes along the A14 :wink: If he wanted to take it for a rag, he only had to ask. Even had people coming over to me in the pub to ask if its mine.

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look especially if they're UK based. Hoping to find someone around East Anglia who has a Vida and a soft spot for working for beer
Advice worth what you just paid for it
