Hey it's going great.
I've put somewhere between 700 and 1000 miles on it already :o
In that time the battery has gone from being perfectly fine while parked overnight to running out of juice within 5 minutes of parking and then not having enough to turn over the engine.
I drove to North Wales and back this weekend and on the last 10-15 miles home today it was so weak that even turning on the indicators while stationary wore it down so much the ignition timing started going funny :o
I also lost a large piece of the peeling bonnet paint and replaced a wiper blade and developed an exhaust leak while doing a little bit of green laning to get around road closures and access mad trails.
Edit:also must sort out numberplate visibility.

Hope this is going well, I had an AX GT and it was fantastic. Twin choke and a £25 Pipercross air filter seemed to make it twice as fast. Has it got those bands in the front doors? Legend has it that the door pockets were shaped to carry a standard bottle of wine.
Just about to get rid of one of my other best cars evar for an Abarth 500. Hope I don't regret it. This thing has been bloody awesome and seems to do everything well.
