Title: First drive
Post by: dadandlad on March 12, 2016, 07:27:31 PM

I had my first drive of the Bis today down the street and back
What did I think ?

Bloody awful

She isn't quite finished yet so will get her complete and through MOT and then I have some serious thinking to do as to wether I keep her or not  :(

I'm not surprised since the car has been "run-in" per se and you only went a short distance; but what was so bad about it?

Why so sad? You weren't expecting a Rolls Royce ride quality with superior road holding were you?

I really don't know what I was expecting but I do need to put some miles in to get a proper feel for her
Noisy,bouncy,strange driving position
I did have a big grin on my face so not all bad

Sounds like you want a Ford Focus ;) Old cars are supposed to be rubbish, that is what makes them so much fun and addictive. It is a unique driving experience.
