Picked up a scissor lift to borrow from small speed but looks too wide to use on my 356

Sadly I think it is time to let my 997 Turbo move on to pastures new.
All good things have to come to an end and all that. It's something I've been think about since Christmas and I think now is the time. Maybe not the most sensible move given that the 997 Turbo as just appeared as one of the top investment opportunities in 2019 based on Classic Cars recent guide. But time will tell.
I've used it every day for the last 2+ years and it has never missed a beat. That expensive comprehensive 3 year warranty feels like a bit of a waste of money now and there is still 11 month to pass on to any new owner.
There is nothing this car doesn't do well and has regularly been seen down the local Morrisons car park as well touring Europe and wknds away averaging nearly 23mpg while it does it with a superb HiFi system and supper comfort. The only thing I regret is never taking it on track to see what it is like.
Bye Bye my love

Driving the C3 for the first time on returning from storage I experienced the dreaded 70mph steering wobble. Never had it before wondering whether the Pirelli’s have felt spotted in storage. Next project!
