  • do you get the fear or is it just me?

    i cant quite put my finger on it but everytime i go out in my new cossie i just get the fear somthings gunna go wrong as it just sounds a bit, how can i put it, a bag of bolts being shaken in a tin watery sound when fired up then goes away, & then today after an hour driving it, its as if the engine needs a good spray of wd40 to ged rid of a dry sound on belts ect, [is it a good idea to spray wd40 over an engine& belts?].. & then when i got home after chasing an m3 down my local bypass i got home popped the bonnet & there were some bubbles slightly coming out of what looked like a nut on the right hand side of the turbo[i think].. is this normal... other than that it drives loverly & im living the dream, today ive had people taking pictures in traffic, fast bikes slowing down & sticking there thumbs up on the m1 & it even got a crowd outside me local tesco, its slightly embarrising as ive never had a car that so many people stare at but then again its such an iconic car & im still going in my garage after 3months of owning it & taking a cheeky peek at night, still not beleiveing its mine... id just like to get it so when i go out in it ive not got the fear anymore or is this all part of cossie ownership?

      Try driving it when suffering from very severe anxiety, it's petrifying

        Got nothing to do with the cossies guys, I got the same feeling driving my Mustangs,

          Ah yeah out today first drive since september slight hesitation until 2500 rpm then it goes ok but after the run out it went lot's better. Was brickin it before I went out though and said to the wife hope i get back all went ok. These fookin machine's can bloomin well let you down without a moment's notice tho but when going good the buzz you get is class. Me car got some fooking looks today boys comin overlooking all around it sayin whaoh!!! that's what these car's do Enjoy it every time you go out.

            Been there and stopped worrying about it now, such a good feeling just driving them. Although I have driven mine for 3 months now and won't until Central Day now

              I DONT WORRY ABOUT DRIVING IT,,, AS I HARDLY DO
              BUT WHEN IT DOES COME OUT ,, I AM SCARED TO PARK IT ANYWHERE ,,BECAUSE SOME TWAT WOULD EITHER KEY IT OR OPEN THERE DOOR AGAINST IT ...
              OR WORST STILL ,,SOME OLD GRANNY DRIVING INTO IT
              SOMETIMES I WONDER IF ITS ALL WORTH IT

                      Bubbling nut is probably the banjo for the water feed to your turbo. nip it up and see if it stops, if not get some new copper washers on it.

                              I had some dosy bitch, sorry lass from work drive into the back of my sapphire a couple of weeks ago. Apparently her foot slipped off the clutch. The words stay calm are still ringing round my head lol.
