UPDATE – 26-10-12 Hi everyone. Its been a little while since I wrote a proper update so here is the latest on P1. The Performance Ford article was published, and although this sort of thing is always a little embarrassing I was really pleased with how it came out. For those who didn’t see it...

UPDATE - 07-05-12 Well its been an interesting couple of weeks. P1 passed its MOT first time last weekend, and I've driven it for 200 miles since then. I LOVE this car, its just awesome! The noise it makes is incredible, it certainly can be a bit deafening, but its a good sound. It feels...

IT PASSED :) and first attempt as well, the MOT guy I use is a 20 min cross country drive away and taking the car on this route was epic! What a machine, the noise, the power, the whole experience is just overwhelming. I love it. Think my seats might be just a touch too low though as you can't...
