Reckon we are! What's the betting he's out cruising with a big cheesy grin on his face? If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

Yep - got it.
only covered 117.6 miles in it today 
as you said i love it. it was a bit bouncy at the back, i know the hand book say the rear tyres should be 38 but i have dropped them to 33 at the moment the ride is much better. i think i will try and do the chalk test on it tho! was this sensible or should i put them back to 38, mind you it is nromally empty at the back - just the occaisional tool box or son!

Nope - slept in a bed last night. only did about 20 odd miles in it today and tomorrow i am off on hols so it will have to sit there all lonely. what really suprises me is the pull it has at any speed including 70+ it has'nt really been used, and it shows, it is literally like a brand new one. i think the 1st change will be new speakers, i have seen a couple of threads on this but will think about it after my hols. do you have any speaker suggestions? apart from that and getting a rubber mat for the rear floor it does'nt need anything 
things like ATs tyres, driving lights, roof rack, snorkle, rear bumper.......... will have to wait a while. anyway - many thanks for all your advice and help. i thought very long and you only have one life etc etc etc BM52 |

How about hammering along in your Puma with the theme music from Hawaii Five 0 playing on your cd player? Was saving this for when the series 111 diesel was back in action,fitting a tapedeck, buying a Hawaian shirt and going out on a winter's day with the Hawaii Five 0 theme playing on the tape deck. Somehow I think it works better in the Puma! 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

back from hols and missed the Puma
hired a Punto 1.2 and did about 500km in it. i am sure it had only about 2 torques in it. show it a hill and unless you revved the nuts off it it would slow down and down and down. city car only. i felt so exposed on the motorway. jumped in the Puma today and the first thing i did was stall it.....yep i stalled. after a feather light clutch i was a little too abrupt on releasing it   BM52 |

Just tripped over this thread and re-read.
My current view: Am i depressed - No Have i enjoyed it - Yes What's gone wrong in 16 months - Nothing mechanical. Warranty - replaced front and rear screen due to heating element failure on rear and patchy faults on front. Have i regretted anything - No After 16 months i still get that smile everytime i drive it. It was going to be my second vehicle - it is now my 1st choice vehicle unless we have 4 or 5 up [not that often], then we use the FL.   BM52 |
