Default Love my 951!

I parked it a couple months ago for the winter and threw the cover over it - nothing special, just pulled out the key and closed the door. Got into it yesterday on the latest of a series of freezing cold days, turned the key and it fired with two cranks and ran like a thoroughbred.

Love this thing!

Boy , I remember feeling that same way about 2 months ago when I first bought my 951. Then **** started to break as it always does, now I don’t love it so much. I'll try to get it back on the road as cheap as possible and dump it off on the first low-baller I can sucker into buying it.

Wow, that sounds like a really douchebag thing to do . How about fixing it properly and enjoying it, or fully disclosing the issues so that the next gentleman who buys your car fairly knows what hes getting himself into?

I love everything about my 951, except for the location of the fuel filter and the time spent last night trying to break loose the nuts. The wrenches were like holding bars of ice this morning, but it finally surrendered. Note to self: flared wrenches are your friend, and having a long pipe to put more leverage on them is key. You have to believe that someone, somewhere, has torqued it so hard as to create a spark and gone boom.
