As with any car enthuiast we were
keen to find out all we could about our new car. One of the best methods
for doing this is by using the program called 'Fast', which enables you to
decode a lot of information about the options the car had to where it was
built.
|
|
This is done by using the details from the Blue Plate
found in the engine bay. It will look like this:
|
|
Below are two screen shots taken from the program which
we will go through and decode. You will note that a few items are missing
and we would greatly appreciate any help with this.
