Guys, I’ve broke my RS out of winter storage, oh boy, I seriously missed her. I’ll try describe my experience to bring you guys along with me.
As I opened the drivers door I heard the fuel pump priming, fantastic!! As i entered I Was reminded I was in something special with the unmistakable aroma of Nappa leather just wakening my senses.
Would she start first time?...
I put her in park, foot on brake and pushed start...OH my GOODNESS!!!! The sound of a cold start was amazing, honestly. I slipped her in to dynamic mode and I heard the valves opening, the engine turned a deeper rumble and what a smile it brought to my face. I let her idle and gently warm for a considerable time then took her out in to the fresh air. Only one issue has surfaced and that’s a brake pad warning light on in the dash. There’s nothing wrong with the pads as they and the disks were fitted brand new when I bought it October 18 and I’ve only covered 2k mls since then. Anyway, That’s the two of us reunited again for the year but what adventures we’ll get up to I’m not quite sure? The current situation may limit us. I had the NC500 planned with my bro in his 1985 Opel Manta GTE, old and new coupe’s together, a cosmetic upgrade and an Audi Car Club meet scheduled but will any be possible?
Final thought...”What an enjoyable motor”.
