Not much going on here, the car is being used daily by the wife and it hasn't missed a beat, I enjoy taking it out, could do with more power but as a B lane basher, it's a superb car, had the opportunity to have the roof down the other morning and I did enjoy the run, the exhaust is slightly on the loud side but with the roof down on a spirited run, it did make me laugh!
In colder times, it got us to the pub on a snowy day, it did however get stuck in this position as the snow turned to ice.. :floor:

Not much in terms of new bits for it, everything works and feels in good order!
A quick visit to get some paint from Halfords results in someone hitting the car, I was quite happy as there are some marks on the front bumper which are not bad enough to warrant having it repainted but ultimately, they shouldn't be there so I saw the knock as an opportunity to have it refreshed! The number plate plinth had split also.
It looked worse than it was, I thought the black marks were the plastic showing. Anyway, on the spot, the person gave me £300! :thumb: I had already spoken to my mate who owns the bodyshop that did my 964 and other cars, so the £300 was enough to have the work done and go out for dinner for the trauma caused :grin:
I got home and had a closer look at the damage and to my surprise, it all just wiped off!!
The moral here, don't attempt to wipe any damage off when at the scene :floor: :floor: :hand:
A few minutes with the polishing machine got it all off
So now I'm back at the stage of, it's not bad enough to warrant the hassle of getting it redone, just this time I'm £300 better off, minus £19 for a new plinth. Having said that, the back bumper does need a paint, when the missus can go without it, I'll have that done.
So far so good with this car, a brilliant car for what was an opportune purchase. :worship:
