So I did plan to go out and put my door switch in but it was -1, I had a nice coffee and there was footy on the telly, so, yeah, that didn't happen - another day.
Today was a short run to a nice cafe, the Milk Churn:
The weather wasn't too bad, wet and 5 degC and it meant the roads were quite clear of traffic, so I had a fun drive back.
I am really enjoying my drives in the 'baby' Porsche - it feels like a supercar, not just a sports car. It's not hugely heavy but because it's small, it feels 'concentrated' and hefty and the engine feels like it should be in something much bigger. Between 2k and 4k revs, it sounds turbine-like, promising madness ahead. Over 4k, it's glorious - a real butch wail and it fires down the road.
While the 0-60 time is not much faster than the original Zedster, Zedster2 is much smoother and gets to a speed that Zedster feels uncomfortable at (lots of vibration etc). So I find myself braking much more than I ever did in Zedster, which could just engine brake a lot of the time.
A very different driving style is needed, much more squirt and brake in Zedster2, so it is faster but harder work...great fun in a different way.
Changed the wiper blades today - the old ones were not split but squeaked horribly, a sign that they're old and the rubber on them was getting hard. Much better now...
