Just to complete this...

I give myself a;

Because this happened;

And then this;

And this;

But because the old pump looked like this;

I also had to;

...the bracket on the car and put it;

And then because the car looked like this;

It took this;

When doing this;

So I wasn't able to do this;

Or this;

But I did manage to avoid doing this;

And this was an extra that happened;

I also saw this;

Which from that angle, does rather do a bit of this;

But unfortunately as expected, I didn't see any of this;

Or this;

(Ok, I think I'd better stop there)

Even though this shows it can happen with my Porsche;

Which would have done this;

So this;

Is happening tomorrow at;

(

can anyone spot the rather tenuous photo's in the sequence above? I think they're so subtly done that no-one will notice!

And I thoroughly enjoyed the drive there and back, too...

It really is great to drive this car tbh, really fantastic. Properly throaty roar, strong torquey engine, the bonnet lifts and the back hunkers down slightly when you boot it, lovely solid precise gearchange that makes you want to keep shuffling around the gears just for the feel of it and as for the twisty stuff you can feel it's a beautifully balanced car and has the most communicative well weighted steering when you're on the move. Handling feels a little squashy at first, probably because of the 15" rims and 65 profile tyres (40 psi on the back

) but it grips so well and you quickly build up confidence in it and know you can feel exactly how much to put it into the corner...

It's a real old school rear wheel drive car though, not a modern light nimble thing. Not being sexist here, but just it's the best simily I can think of... It's a real man's car to drive.

Honestly, if anyone gets the chance to drive an S (the bog standard 924 handles as well if not better but is WELL under powered), TAKE IT!

Or better still - buy mine!
(nb this is NOT a for sale thread that's in breach of the rules

there will be a proper one of those up sometime soon for anyone that is interested.)
