I sort of go a little overboard when working on my vehicles as I have no plans to sell them on. The exception here is the RX-8... but I've only owned it for 5 months and I haven't done anything other than wash it and put fuel and oil in it...
Deadeye you've kinda summed up my thoughts on my thou with regards your MX5 although im possibly betwixt the 2 whereby I've now pissed about so much with it that i have indeed committed a bit of time and effort and to be fair ive made a whole lot cleaner than it was before but it isn't a clean enough example for me to really cherish it as such......could be a blessing in disguise im now thinking because i am less bothered about it.......if it ever starts puffing black smoke and looking end of days it will be unfortunate but i wont feel like I've just had my kidney stolen.
as much as owning a pristine example is nice, there perhaps lurks within us all that need to keep it that way or make it more pristine and then stop using it......sounding like Nick now and I've only done 100 miles :lol
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
