So the time has come to 'retire" the 996 from daily use! It's being SORN from end of this month for 6months to see out the worse of the weather over the winter tucked up in the garage...after all the work I've done to it this year particularly on the mechanicals I want it to feel like this for as long as possible!
Also will feel more special only using it in nice weather!
Over the winter I plan on swapping to M030 now all the coffin arms, tuning forks etc have been done and maybe some new rubber (probably going to opt for some road legal track tyres purely as it's not a daily driver and it's not going to be purposely driven in the wet) - should make a massive difference.
To facilitate this, I've had to purchase the wife a new runabout so I can use the A4 dieselbore for my daily.
So, at her request she wanted 'something small and nippy"....
So after a few months of searching I've finally found a very tidy R53 Cooper S!
It's actually pretty good fun and bangs and pops and makes a nice supercharger noise!
Pretty chuffed!
Anyone else tucking theirs away soon / buying winter hacks?!
