What a beauty!

Red has been home for over a week now and everybody in the household is smitten with her. I spent a few hours today steam cleaning the interior and the engine bay to make her look pristine. It drives beautifully and feels very composed over rough pavement. In a few weeks once I feel that the paint has fully hardened, I will give her a good polish, seal and wax treatment.

first drive

Got to take the car for a drive this afternoon to see if there were any issues needing attention. Red drives beautifully and feels even tighter than "white" did in the last few years. It's not officially home yet and won't be until tomorrow at the earliest. The list of adjustments needed is pretty short and most are of the cosmetic nature. Frank and George at Bero, have driven it and they really liked it. Andy still has to take it for a drive to see if there is anything else that needs attention. What a fun little car!

Back from holidays, but...

the car is still not ready. It's been sitting at the bodyshop for 3 weeks now waiting for a break in Laki's schedule so it can get it's final touch ups, colour sanding and polishing. Andy at Bero is pretty frustrated that it's taking so long since he still needs the car for a couple of days after it's back to make sure everything is adjusted properly. I saw Laki this week and he promised to get right to it...no really, this time he meant it! Oh well, a good job shouldn't be rushed. Hopefully by the end of next week, it will come home.
