Default I'll be back!

Hey guys,

Well after many years of joyful monogamous Soarer relationships it's time to say fairwell to my daily driven Soarer. She's done me well and even though it's not mine anymore she's still in the family so I know that it'll be looked after

As some on here might know, my fiance and I recently had a baby and the Soarer just wasn't enough space for all our stuff. So my 91 4.0GT-Limited has departed me and an 01 GS300 has taken it's place.

I'll still be around as I still own my 97 2.5GT but that one will most likely be pulled off the road and deregistered for the meantime until I have enough money and time to play with it again. At the moment she sits in a cold dark shed with layers of dust

We shall meet again! And a very big thank you to the SC community for all the laughs and empty wallet




Jose

I think I'm gonna be in the same boat as you soon sir! Although I'll keep quiet for now as I dont want to jinx the sale..

Just make sure you store that badboy properly. Unplug the battery, cover it with a car cover, and drive it until theres no more fuel left, or at least pour in some fuel stabilizer. Last thing you want to do is spend a grand just to get it back up and running..

More on proper storage? I've never had to store a car before (just sold them off). More on this fuel stabiliser? I was going to jack her up and put her on stands (just enough so the tyres touch the ground).

If I was ever to sell my SC, a GS would be at the top of my list! Along with E46 M3 and Audi S4 Awesome choice!

Hehehe don't worry I've still got my 97 Soarer but it's either going to be taken off the road or (convinced as of 3 hours ago) only used for club events etc.

I prefer to have both though if it wasn't my wifes car, it would have been a GS400, not a 300.

I'm too lazy to type eveything up so here's a link you can use to your discretion..
http://www.wikihow.com/Store-a-Car

..if you want to aviod all that then just make sure you start up your car and let it run for a bit at least once a week, and you should be gravey!
