    And get some pics up

    It's always nice to see pics of a car that's had a lot of work put into it - it'll give us mere mortals hope and motivation as well

    Welcome to the club Kev

    Re: on the road

    hi i live at buxton and safely abused the cat&fiddle most weekends but not anymore over policing as made the road a no go area for bikes and sport cars, due to riders and drivers not knowing road ,going like hell and crashing.To fellow mk1 drivers if you USE this road do a slow run first ,check for diesel on corners (spilt by lorries),sheep at top corners near the cat&fiddle mac side and the cambers of corners (most are wrong)especially for bikes.The mk1 will fly on the cat giving many evo and subaru drivers a slap in the face and respect from bikers round the twisty bits .I know the route you've taken and they are fantastic roads to drive on ,pm next time you are coming this way i know some great roads with fantastic scenery .all the hard work as paid off and hopefully many enjoyable miles to come (with a big grin on your face ) welcome to the club

    awsome A baptims of fire for your mk1 LOL
    cat & fiddle is a must for mk1s

    A friend of ours (not naming) reguarly hoons around there and flys past bikes etc, nutter!
    the road does have a reputation for accidents though, and no-one should take chances. there are plenty of areas to look well ahead for overtaking.

    glad you are enjoying it after the sting of the tax
