Replacement EveryDay Car

After the demise of the 156 Sportwagon, the replacement everyday car is a 2001 916 Series Spider. Although it is 6 years old it has only covered 30,ooo miles and so should last me a while.

A wonderfull very clean and basic car. No polished parts under the hood.

Well done.
Happy motoring
Rob

I LOVE those rims. Though you could only have them on an Italian car... they look too much like a dartboard to put 'em on a British car. :-)

Thanks Haig
I had driven down the road about a mile to take the photos and when I lifted the hood to my horror I saw it missing.
I guess I had been distracted earlier when I had checked the coolent and forgot to put it back on. Bad owner. I'll not forgive myself for that one.
I'm glad I decided to take some shots with the lid open.
Jeff
