Forgot to update following Sunday...
Don't have official results yet but of course I didn't win...Chris in his MX5 scooped the prize again (under 2000cc RWD class...which is where they put me in the i3).
Had a great day though, I had some genuine pace at the end. I overheard a 718 Spyder...
Yep. Insane isn't it! Fortunately the company paid for it.

So the only thing I need worry about when choosing a car is the lease cost...
Yeah direct with Hyundai I found to be as good as any lease broker offers out there.
I ended up going with my local dealer, actual price for 1+35, 12k miles per annum, free paint but £1250 panoramic roof, £757 + VAT per month.
I've not seen/heard anything of late, but the principal party manifestos ahead of the recent election all said pretty much the exact same thing, a couple of lines, one tiny paragraph...
"We will ensure our positive progress towards net zero by supporting the introduction of a national...
I've watched it far too many times already...and it's not going to make my wait for delivery any shorter.
I'm hoping for mk3 Focus RS vibes in the way it drives 😁
