Nice one Rob. Always good to hear of another S back on the road. : thumbup:

I hope you have fitted new tyres to be on the safe side.

Old rubber degrades and can be unsafe. That's how my third child came about.... wink

Think the Finns developed a technique for those situations. Timing and speed required for safe handling to pull out in time from slippery situations to avoid accidentsteacher

The wife has full confidence in me and the car she asked why I didn't book the mot at a nearer mot station as 6 miles away is along way for a car that's been off the road for 10 years.

Excellent, well done that man not only are you now an active S man but a member of the elite S1 owners!!!
Hope to compare notes some time.
The really big S gathering this year is at Hexham, not exactly a 5 minute drive but a good adventure for your part time retirement!

HI All
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the car at the moment, because two months after purchasing the car back in 2016 the better half suffered major health issues that restricts our and my movements. So jollies are out of the question.
My first goal was to sort the car for the mot which I've achieved. So now ?
