"Burnerboy" and I drove down to London in his Spitfire to collect the Toledo two days ago.Thanks Paul, and I really enjoyed driving your Spitfire top down, leather jacket on with aviator sunglasses - how cool is that!
Anyway, back to the Toledo.
What a great little car, it was quiet and had superb manners in London stop start traffic - a pleasure to drive.
It also happily drove home at 60MPH but is a bit challenged in the speed stakes! It is only a single carb 1296CC engine and I certainly don't need a fast car for my daughter to learn to drive in but I suspect a good service and timing check will make it a bit more peppy.
In the meantime Rebecca has managed to wash it and I have taken the radiator to be re-cored as it was beginning to disintegrate
It really needs a good fettling which I will aim to get round to before Rebecca hits the road in September.
