Well done on the saving.
Every time I look back at my car I feel that all the saving was worth it, sure you feel the same!

very nice, been worth the wait? congratulations on the saving. has it lived up to your expectations?
Its exceeded my (very high) expectations, unfortunately when I got it we got the wettest summer on record but I did manage to get a couple of good drives in it. My God they stick to the road and I'm getting to the point now where I can indulge in a little oversteer at appropriate times. It has a stainless exhaust and induction kit from eliseparts (done by previous owner) so it sounds like a thundering V8 and I've had the brakes (discs and pads) upgraded, which I would recommend as they have transformed the cars stopping power.
Its only the 120bhp (might go for 135 in future) but my God is it fun, I forget sometimes how much fun until I fire it up and just go for a play - fantastic
The only downside, and its fairly minor, is the noise can get a bit tiresome on a long haul. But I've gotten used to that and invested in a set of earplugs and some panadol

Matey, try an S1 Sport 160 with Hurricane, 4-2-1 manifold, Janspeed Roadsport 'zorst, and de-cat...........it'll make yours feel like a Bentley!!!! 
Lovely car, glad you're enjoying it.....
