I have owned the car for 15 years and have had tremendous fun with it at hillclimbs and circuits all over Australia but age has caught up with me. While I have use it mainly for competion it is quite tractable on the open road having driven it around Tasmania and to numerous events at Sandown and Rob Roy.
