I've got to say I'm very impressed. Seems well screwed/glued together in comparison to many other hand made cars I,ve owned.
Also does seem fairly ecconomical for a car with so much grunt. Only very minor annoyance is the indicator (I did say minor) light jobby on the dash is very very dim and if I am driving a little quickly I cant hear or see the indicators are still blinking , any remedy?

Cheers

Steve

TADTS. No-one has ever bothered to fix it AFAIK.

Go faster, you will have no time to think about it then, besides, at those speeds all will know it will be impossible to make a turn driving

I used to do this regularly when coming off a roundabout and giving it some beans. I ended up taking a quick look while driving to see if the stalk was lining up with the correct light on the dash (I think it's the second one down that it points to when off).

Problem is I still forget smile.

Seems to me that if you are indeed an atronaut you should be used to being precise with your machinery! rofl

You should also avoid looking at the full beam light when driving at night unless you're wearing a welding mask. It'll burn your retina's out in two seconds flat

Get someone to sit in the passengers seat and either point at the blinking light every time it is forgotten to be turned off, or turn it off themselves.

That's usually what I do every time I'm riding shotgun in RobP's car.

You could fit one of these,at £4.30 what have you got to lose? (but your dignity) If you like it you could give the other one to your best mate.

i reckon a simple fix would be to wire up the hazzard switch so it flashes with then indicators
