Hi CyprusPug and welcome to the forum. Your new car sounds very similar to ours in colour and capacity. It has proved very reliable and cheap to run. Just make sure you read the owners manual from cover to cover. Many problems experienced by new owners tend to be self-inflicted. We haven't modified ours really - bought a space-saver spare as I don't like to rely on aerosols. Oh, and a windbreak for open-top driving - I don't have long hair but my wife does.
