This month's seen a fair amount of use for the beloved Rallye. Unseasonably good weather's meant I've had plenty of opportunities to roll it out of its garage.

As I reported last month, there was an air of pessimism around due to the MOT. Turns out I needn't have been too worried, because it passed its test with only some minor welding needing doing. The total came to a very reasonable £100, and I for one was very relieved.
A celebratory drive ensued on my favourite local roads and still the novelty of driving the car hasn't worn off. Every drive's an occasion, and every time I'm in it I get to revel in that beautiful non-power assisted steering. Honestly, it's quite possibly the best steering I've ever driven. It's so direct and alert to the tiniest of inputs, and constantly gives me impeccable feedback.
What with its insignificant weight and lack of creature comforts, it just goes to show that in the Rallye's case, less really is more.
