  • Yet another mindless boring update.:)

    Once again i apologies for my absence. Things are getting really busy with the baby on the way. Not to mention work home bills etc etc. Not that's any excuse.

    So i'm here today to catch on on an unbeleivable 20 pages of new posts- which i have just gone through in the last hour and a half.... ...and to update the Festiva (Aspire).

    So three and a half weeks ago i finally got the car 100% legal and passed for registration. It was not any easy task- but well worth it.
    We have clocked a staggering 1000Km of travel in only three outings! One of which was 500Km! The car seems pretty good except the clutch cannot hold, and there's a small oil leak from the sender / oil return. Oh and the parcel tray needs some reinforcing.

    Apart from that we drive it every weekend on 20psi, and uses bugger-all fuel when cruising. I forgot how good it was on fuel!

    Here's some pictures from our maiden voyage down the coast. Since these were taken i have changed the tags to a custom purple slimline option, reading FESTVA.

        ^^Jeez you guys are quick! I only just posted!!!! LOL

        I'm really pleased to finally get some 'proper' road use, but having power on tap (as opposed to nil before) is too tempting. I don't know how the big HP guys do it?

                      There is not an angle in which it doesn't look good. ....That sounds negative but it isn't......Ahhh digging deeper. SWEET! Nice that you're enjoying driving it. Thats what its all about. I know you had it majorly detailed. I would cringe at mud puddles.
