Well, I was without the use of the Coupe for 5 years until I was able to do the necessary work on it. Didn't miss it as much as I expected, but that's probably because I had so much else to do! Now, it's facing the first winter when I could be using it but will probably only take it out when the weather is reasonable. Only because I will have to clean it up and dry it off once it's back in the garage, if the weather is bad! Luckily its home is nice and dry and airy and stays reasonably warm even if it's perishing outside. It lives at one end of the barn with plenty of room and I can do some maintenance / cleaning whenever I like! Takes the edge off not driving it ..... Coupe at home ...

If you haven't driven it in snow, you haven't driven it. In my opinion. Bit of topic but my coup was brilliant in the snow, decision to allow everyone home after snow storm was delayed meaning many couldn't get home, I had a 40 mile round trip to pick stepson from school in 4inches of snow. Despite abandoned cars everywhere and terrible drivers, roads closed etc the coup never missed a beat, even up very steep hills,google EggardonHill.

Yes I’ve found the same the times I had to drive in snow. I put it down to the big lump over the front wheels. Never had winter tyres either.
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

It's back !
Now sitting on the drive, gently oozing oil onto the tarmac.
What's oozing Paul?

It's either power, or gear box oil.
I've always dribbled. Looking at the front, do you dribble on the right side or left? lol
