I covered approx 170 miles in BART the furthest I've ever driven him and apart from the indicators giving me a few issues on the way up he performed flawlessly.
I decided to keep to the A roads on the drive there and back, the weather was dry (fortunately) on the way up but cold and misty on the night drive back. The headlight mods I performed worked well lighting up the road to an acceptable level for a 40 year old car although I found sitting so low to the ground modern car lights especially LED where blinding. Consequently I was knackered when I got home due to the concentration required to focus on the road in the face of a seemingly endless stream of on coming headlights.
The show itself was fantastic. It now spans 8 halls and is absolutely mahoosive with all sorts of cars from the mundane to the exotic and everything in between.
I met some of the UK X1/9 owners club members and chatted for hours. I learnt so much about the cars and about BART. People knew of BART and some of his previous history including two separate guys who had attempted to buy him pre-renovation.
I even met Niall Julian the author of the Take To The Road article that was published when BART was put up for sale after the renovation. We chatted for a while and may link up in the near future to do a follow up article. Naill has published a show report here which has a picture of BART and the Prototipo car we had on the stand. I have to say many thanks again to Andy Rowley for asking me to put the car on the stand, it was a fantastic experience.
