I am an amateur and have done a couple of these missions.... lots and lots of work.... and some more....
Like LOTS of work.

Technically it was not supposed to be either......I got it originally as a cheap traveller as my father was crook for a few years and traveling from chch to Blen in the weekends to see him was going to run the legs off my wee Suzuki Vitara and I did not want to use the wifes car as she would then be stuck at home. (Refuses to drive the Vitara)

I intended selling it when Dad passed, but it was so much fun to drive that I started using it for the work commute (25km each way on open road.....) My wife enjoys day trips in it and it is really fun to drive. To the extent, I never really cared what others think it is. It is definitley one of those cars that puts a smile in the dial......

I had a mate that started insinuating either a mid life crisis or questionable manhood so I gave him a drive in it....two weeks later he got one. His Brother started to do the same to him, so he was told to drive it or shut up...now the brother wants one too.....

They are very well set up for people who enjoy driving. They absolutely love corners, and they run really well. Lovely days like we are having now and drop the top down and just go somewhere.....doesn't matter where, just pick a direction and go....

Maybe we should be paying attention to what hairdressers like to drive. Because if this is what they like to drive, then they might be onto something .....
