I don’t agree with that statement “the less you use it, the more you appreciate it when you do”. Every time I drive it, it brings a smile to my face. Driving it so frequently, your really get to know the car. And it’s so damn reliable.
I knew that would be the kiss of death with a statement like "And it's so damn reliable". The top heater hose split this morning on the way to work, and directed a jet of water directly onto the exhaust pipe. Needless to say, this was under full boost and hooking third. The steam being ejected through the bonnet vents, and out the back was quite spectacular. Managed to get into a lay-by within 100 yards or so, so the temperature didn’t have time to climb etc. AA man fixed me up, and a full set of Samco hoses are on order with GGR.
