Thanks. Unfortunately I caved in when an Audi Avant showed up for sale on rennlist. It's been working as a great daily driver, and allows me to lay my bike flat without removing the front wheels. Kids love it as well as my previous daily driver is a Bmw convertible. Now no one has to get squeezed in to get to the back seat.
What does this mean for the 968? Time to do last checks and put it up for sale.

Not to hijack the thread, but Raj was it this one:

It looks nice from the pictures. I have been impressed how much my '01 sedan can hold (I managed to get a nightstand easily through the rear passenger door opening) , so I am sure that the wagon can do even better.

Yes Dan, that is the one. It was local and a great seller. Already put 1500 miles on it. Family loves it too.

Nice job on the restoration and attention to detail. I have a B7 Avant as my daily driver right now and can attest to it as a great bike hauler. Have been eying 968's for sale recently and would be very interested in the yours when you do put it up for sale.

Thanks Bob, just need to check a few things and then it will go up in the classifieds. My B8 has been an amazing drive so far.

Raj - could you share which shop worked on the head of this car for you? And what was the process to clean the intake and valve covers? Thanks.

Very impressive Raj for a dedicated bicycle transporter. I have found my 968 to be perfect for transporting my Segway Mini Pro.

Thanks guys. Sorry, haven't been around much lately. I took the car off the market last yr but am planning on putting it up for sale again.
Now its even better than before. Body gaskets have been swapped and body plastics have been refreshed. Should be up for sale within a week or so.
I have an incoming RS so need to make space.
