athersgeoWell. First off: Car started in work carpark at 6pm (never mind that I was still in work at 6pm on December 30th - that's a side issue!).
As it failed dismally to do this last week, this is considerable progress.
Then, on my way home, I decided to go the long route to stretch the new car's 'legs' as it were. There is a stretch (on my alternative route home) that is non-speedlimited. I've done it in the old car and it rattled a bit - it didn't like accellerating up hill. The new one...purred! I wound it up to 60mph with virtually no effort, and could have got more but for the fact that the non-limited stretch was coming to a close, and there was a roundabout coming up (Bristol sucks like that sometimes).
Ahhh - gotta love a car that likes to accellerate. REALLY gotta love it, in fact *grins*
When I write my first best sellar, I'm buying myself a TVR*...
*British Sports car.
