Thanks Every one :cry:

i am dead chuffed with it :) and Love driving it

Not liking the salted roads with it, but its a much more comfortable and warmer drive than my other mini, so the sky has to battle my 60mile a day commute for most of the week :)

i've still gotta flat back the wing and put the pinstripe back on, but there is no rush for it!!!

The insurance finally paid out, which paid for the insurance for my other mini, so that was all good :ghost:

and a few weeks back The Sky went on a Rolling Road and got 36BHP at the flywheel, which is soooooooo good for a completely bog standard 998 which has done 83K!!!!

m9fdb - it will be good to have another sky/rose back on the road and pretty again :wub: are you staying with the Grey trim or going for the chrome - and give me a shout if you want to get rid of your original seats and doorcards :wub:

it was quite odd when we brought it because they had this Sky and another one!!!

but at shows etc you very rarely see another Sky, the Rose's are more common, but still sooo rare!!!

I shall revive this thread by saying WOW!

 

Just spent the entire afternoon reading this and am so impressed with what you achieved.

 

I read in your latest thread that you are selling this. That's a shame.

 

Very well done

 

Ben
