Default Cossie back on the road after 8 months

Havent used my Sapph since Croft last year and then the only other time it moved was in July when it went for MOT and failed. I fell out with it and it has sat till just before xmas before I decided to get it sorted.

Took it for MOT today and.......... it passed

Tax followed shortly after and it was out to play.

The noise, the smell and the fun all came flooding back to me

Took it out for a spin again tonight and................ the turbo has shit itself, so its off the road again. 60 bloody miles it lasted
