Will do

We picked it up this afternoon and drove back from Stockport to the Wirral. The weather just wasn't our side for the first leg of the journey - rain, rain and yes, rain. Despite some foolery on the M56 involving a Mercedes and the newly acquired ForFour, we made it back to the Chester services unscathed following the M56 and then the A56... because I was bored of the motorway.
Going back past Cheshire Oaks and then up the Chester High Road for the second leg where the weather cleared, it seemed perfectly fine and remained that way all the way back. The only comment I really got was that it appears to lack oomph in 5th gear, which I never experienced in the 1.1 I was loaned. I suspect that was aimed primarily at overtaking and not being familiar with the characteristics of such a engine. I didn't ask if at any point he took it past 3500 RPM for the valve timing change but I did suggest a swift down change into 4th may help.
I've ordered a new height adjuster handle and a keyhole cover for the passenger door for him (the lack of handle was really,
really annoying me). I've also noticed a small tear in the driver side seat bolster which neither of us had noticed. It's pretty small so I think a bit of sewing is in order.
But these are all cosmetic things, least it is home.
