Yeah I'm loving it Colin

Got snow here and because of that I'd like to have the CQ on the go, but I'm positive about it not seeing the road again until the rear end is overhauled.........and that will be spring-time now.
In fairness the DERV Dog is doing fine, even more so now the front wheels are pointing in the right direction....tracking was a mile out! And the heater only worked on no.4 but I've sorted that as well.
It'll hopefully get another MOT (June I think) but I might look for something else to kick around in??......or maybe not, we'll see.

Graeme, I managed to get new inserts that fitted the front units that had leaked!

Colin, it does rather look like a coupe in those pics! Wheels are Italian i think and came as extras with the avant.
Must try to post my pics from yesterday

Colin, see these new glasses, no worth a sook, I am always being corrected on the forum but this must be the the best one yet, mix up between a coupe and avant, I feel a right dip stick.
