yes, my mum ****ing loves purple. though she hasn't had a manual in thirty years, she's been driving this around pretty good.
wondering if the numberplates 'GRAPE' or 'RIBENA' are available.

it has a digital speedo, so 90's cool. it's still in mph though the analogue speedo is in both kph and mph but it's harder to see the former. had a panicky moment going past a cop because of it

Alternatively; "My engine is chasing me and I can't get away, Officer, no matter how fast I go!"
Substitute "engine" for "Darth Vader" as necessary depending on how loud the wastegate chatter is.

Beyond that, I envy your mother. Punch her for me in jealousy.
