Bought my first Cat
.
Hi Guys,
Took the plunge the other week and invested in my first Cat. She is a 1999 Cardinal Red 3 litre S Type that was struggling a bit but showed loads of potential. I changed the coil packs, the spark plugs, gave her a service, renewed two of the breather hoses that had been clumsily repaired and had a go at the bodywork - I clay barred, then polished her up, only to discover a load of water behind the driver's seat when it poured down, so I've been sorting the sunroof out for a few days and drying her out
I'm getting about 24 to the gallon, she has tremendous acceleration and is real fun to drive. I'll post up a few pictures when I've finished her off
So she's now one of the few based on the Isle of Man, a real Manx Cat as it were .
