"One word: WOW!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Headlight circuit blows fuses - well, I just drive it in the daytime; however, I would like them to work!

General comments?

WOW! This car is a rocket with about 1250 pound curb weight and a warmed over 2.0 liter Zetec, it is seriously quick.

The handling is out of this world. Drives like a race car, rides like a race car, it is a race car with street equipment.

Not my only car, thank God! I have a C3500 truck for hauling and a 1948 MG TC for its looks. Had a 2000 Volkswagen Passat 4-Motion until it got totalled out in a freak hailstorm about a month ago. Hope to replace the Passat with a Miata so I will have to choose between three of the greatest sportcars in the world.

The wiring on 2000-2001 year Birkins is truly abysmal. I believe that they improved the wiring from the 2002 model year onwards. If you have a year 2000 Birkin, do like I did. Rip out the wiring, and install a custom Painless Wiring harness.

The car, though, is fantastic. How many other vehicles can you get for <$30K that will run with a Porsche 911 on the racetrack?

Jeff.
