Title: G started up first time in 6mths............
Post by: Robin on June 10, 2010, 09:55:55 PM
G is booked for its MOT tomorrow, went over to where it is stored and did a quick oil change and a quick health check.

Apart from a shagged battery (will be getting it changed at Halfords as its a 4year warranty one) it started up first time.

Idled rough until it warmed up and then ran SWEET!

Took it up the road and the G smilies were back!

Will be having it on the road for about 6mths or until the weather gets crap and it will be going back into dry storage.

Will be taking it the pod for a good thrashing and maybe a couple of trackdays however the cornering ability of the car ain't good so i might stay with santa pod days!

Loving it!
