@fredej it’s always nice to visit new places. I have the same ”issue”, the known places are not as exciting anymore as they used to be. @Mr Tidy 100% right, the pictures here are great, get’s me depressed when I try to take some of my coupe and they look like taken with a potato.

Very nice pictures and places you have visited. Clearly enjoying it 👍🏻

Hostile environment 😁

Hello Gloria, bienvenida! As @Mr Tidy already said, pictures are more than welcome 👍🏻 Years ago I spent some time in northern Spain, a trip that made some great memories.

@rich1068 according to the interwebs, less room for air in the tank equals to less possibility of condensation forming. And pump is submerged, should preserve it’s condition better. As always, some people have different views regarding the amount of fuel and storage. I’ve been doing it this way...

And away it went. Cleaned, with a full tank and Ctek charger connected.

Gave the coupe a clean and filled the tank before the hibernation this evening.

This year it has to go a bit earlier due to circumstances. The wait for next drive will be slightly longer (7-8 months?) but after a long wait it is rewarding to hop in and drive.

Very quiet around here, not much happening. Finally got my M-sport ARB’s (25mm & 19mm), installation will have to wait until next year. During this week the coupe will be going away and will be back in the spring for more maintenance, minor upgrades and hopefully a trip to the ring.

Pictures should be a must in this part pf the forum! Maybe we could have a poll for that? 😏

I think it was the removal of the CDV (clutch delay valve). It was really worth it and should have done it sooner.

Brief update. Yesterday I took the coupe for the local equivalent of the MOT and it passed without any issues, just got told that one of the reg plate bulbs was out so replaced that when I got home, quick and easy fix. Between the MOt’s I’ve driven ~1000 miles, not enough as mentioned by @Mr...

Sadly it’s going to storage in the upcoming weeks. But for next spring a trip to the ring is planned with some mates, looking forward to that.

And it passed. 1600km (~1000 miles) done in a year.
