Pleased to see you're finally getting some enjoyment after the earlier problems. It looks awesome and sounds like it's fun to drive. I find auto is good around town, while semiautomatic is best used on climbs and descents. I quite fancy one now.

Thanks for a really detailed review on the 450, great info and you can clearly see you love your Smarty. It looks a lot better now than when Hubnut had it so well done. Try using some silicon grease on the runners on the removeable side bars for the soft-top. I had a bit of sticking on my 450 roof and the silicon grease solved it. I also have a 451 and live in Edinburgh so will hopefully see you in the passing 👍Keep up the videos as its always great down to earth informative content 👍I tried to comment before on this video but it didn't seem to appear so 🤞

You'll have to put up the roof until next June once monsoon season in Scotland starts pal. Nice bit of poke in it for 700cc. Looks like a Miniesque driving experience. Have you drove a Mini? Is the driving experience similar?

Yup starting to lose the days of roof down weather now, been caught twice now with rain showers and having to get the roof up, its ok if you don't fully retract the roof and remove the roof pillars, if you remove the roof pillars its a stop car, get out, pillars back on, lift hood over roll bar and close. Used to own a BMW Mini (R56) but not a classic Mini.

I used to deliver to a steel stockholder in Cowdenbeath. That Corsa B looks very tidy for the age and the MGB GT looks fantastic. A friend used to have a 16v Corrado in the early 2000's, the little pio up spoiler was great, as it happens he replaced it with a Mk6 Celica GT4. I test drive a Juke Nismo back in 2013 before ordering the DS3 THP155. The Fiat 126 would have left the factory with an air cooled 2 cylinder engine if around 600cc though weather it still has that today remains to be seen as I expecta few modified ones have had other engines dropped in the back.

@@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain It was a company called Thistle Steel. I remember my 60ft extender trailer only just making it into the street off the main road without taking down the give way sign at the end of the street. 😅 I'm going back now probably at least 15 years or more. We had a few regular drops and collections including Alexander's Stirling, Brown & Tawse up at Dundee, ASD near Edinburgh as well as collecting from Corus Mills at Bellshill and the one out past Glasgow. Sometimes I used to do a run out past Keswick Airport and Irvin up towards Glasgow too. Didn't spend much time at home in those days.

I don't know what's happened at the RAC from a few years ago. I had an alternator failure at Southwaite Services on a motorcycle. I was lied to time and time again by multiple service "agents" on calls as was my wife. It took 24 hrs to get recovered back to Ayr and they lied to both third party recovery companies that did the uplifts. Too much of a story to go into here, the upshot being I will never take RAC cover again, even if offered as part of my insurance cover (I always ask now who provides their cover) and have declined good insurance offers and told the insurance why.
