Got mine out of winter hibernation late yesterday afternoon! :thumbup: It was 63 degrees and sunny so it was time.
It's been covered and hooked up to a battery tender in my sister-in-law's garage 10 miles from me and I haven't even seen it since last Thanksgiving. Absence does make the heart grow fonder.
First impressions after 4 months without it:
- First thing is that I was reminded how big it is after daily driving a Mini Cooper.
- And yes, the visibility is horrible compared to the Mini.
- The clutch is not forgiving at all... I eased it out of the garage, stopped at the end of the driveway, and accidently chirped the tires when entering the road because the clutch bites instantly when it engages.
- The steering is lightning quick and much more sensitive than the Mini, and the Mini has quick steering.
- To sum it up - it's just such a no-compromise beast in every way.
Thank God I have it back. Driving it gives me a lot of pleasure and helps to briefly take my mind off the pandemic.
