I've put 800 miles on her in the last 36 hours and to be honest it was worth the MASSIVE fuel bill even though I had the option of other cars.
Nothing mixes comfort with power and noise quite like it.

Modern engines and oils have drastically improved in the last 15-20 years and gotten over the good old "short journeys are bad for your engine" daysjaysrs4 wrote:Now that can't be doing it any good.KGRS4 wrote:Mines is also a daily but I only do less that 4k miles a year and brings a smile to my face every time I push the unlock button!!

Mines a daily also, it will be four years in my care this August and still love her as much as day one!
It eats miles when needed and around town or just heading to work it just sounds amazing and still turns heads.
I never get bored of the questions or would I sell it chats from random strangers either.
Have to admit that exhaust was by far the best mod I have ever done on a car….the noise....dear god the noise.... how could you not smile every time i turn her on.
At the min I am about to get her serviced and hope a clean bill of health, spacers, optics wrapped and some powder coating to get her ready for a few more years of enjoyment!
