Like many others tinkering is not a choice. My closest dealer is two hours away. This car demands constant fiddling and tightening and walk-a-rounds to make sure all the parts are still on.

I keep a generous bag of tools in the boot as well as Loctite, rags and cleaners.

At this point I have no intention to sell. This may come up in the future but I don't sweat the small stuff like keeping receipts for every little thing and copious records. As for Return On Investment I bought this thing to drive it into the ground. This car with over 32,000 miles is starting to show its use. In the meantime every time I drive is like therapy and grin inducing fun! That's my ROI!


What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.
