Get it garaged for the winter mate and buy a cheap run around!
The salt on the roads kills them and it would be a shame to ruin that one.

There are plenty out there,my 205turbo diesel is proof that,it is the king of sheds,however it get's me to my work everyday and back which is the main thing and allows me 2 use my S2 on good dry summer days spot on!
Tax up on Mondy night then off to bed for the winter!

Car is looking good apart from i wouldnt have added that dump valve, car's go much better without one.

As long as you are enjoying her as i know Paul is missing her and keep her minted. Was nice to see a happy face the night you drove away in her

Yeah ditch the dump valve, cars run better without them, I dont have one on the evo as it drives better.
