in to Autumn
Over 6 months of fun into ownership, and no major drama's! Loved going aero, but back to screen for the winter, I miss the aero experience already (will this be the last change back?). Clear aero definitely an advantage with lowered floors and tillets, and avoided putting a central mirror which means no obstructions forward visibility (but limited rear visibility!).
Enjoyed getting out on a couple L7C ReHaB blats, though wasnt quite prepared for some of the roads (single track, grass and gravel, surely not made for a Seven!). First ended up being a 140mile round trip monster, 2nd was shorter but resulted in failed brake light switch and rattle from the exhaust. Also put in an appearance with local classic car club showing cars at the Wokingham Heritage day!
Having now swapped back to the 8-spoke wheels, now fitted with CR500's, and I understand what all the fuss is about, its a great tyre, good feel, good grip, but noticing the lower gearing from the 55-profile. Have also purchased a cheap action cam (SJCAM SJ4000) and spent sometime playing with various mounts and positions - YouTube.
