Who's tempted?

Anyone else tempted to take their car out this week? I know I am.

Only one problem, I took out my intercooler and cut the BOV flange off one of the pipes so I could reuse it on the new intercooler pipes...

Well, my Protege blew out a brake caliper last week, so if the parts don't come in soon, I may take the 7 out.

Mine won't be back on the road until April. This is the usual mid-winter thaw; although a bit later than normal.

I was thinking about taking her out for a quick spin when I get back to London, but then I have to put full coverage back on and I don't want to spend that money just yet. That and I don't want the salt touching the body. I've got minimal rust and I want to keep it that way.

I fired mine up last night. There was too much stuff in the way to actually take it for a drive. So I just started it, let it run for a while, and gave her a few revs just to get me excited for spring.

I took this out for a spin on Monday






A quick 35 km ride... Damn was it ever windy! I should've left the deep dish carbon wheels at home and put the standard rims on.
