Following a glut of emails, mine is now listed on AT. It's the 79k miles Ocean Blue C2if anyone wants to get in touch. Been viewed 150 times since I listed is at 9.30pm yesterday, and I've had loads of emails already.
First viewing tonight.

Well I drove my 996 home last night after Mike kindly picked me up from the station.
Needs 1 or both front wheels balancing & the geometry feels a little off, now i've driven it at speed, but that s all easily sorted.
Car feels strong, rattle free & beautifully damped on the fresh MO30 suspension.
Will get it back onto Hartech scheme before exploring the rev range properly!

Tight fit!

I picked up a 57k polar silver/blue '98 cab with hard top and good spec for a song a few weeks ago. Using it as my 'summer' car and thoroughly enjoying it. Not into this RMS/IMS malarkey. But had it serviced and it 'seems fine'
I don't see these an investments, just good usable interesting cars. Mine has the original lights...why spend money changing stuff like that?
Is this Hartech warranty really a grand a year? Does one also need to have them service the car to preserve said warranty, by any chance?

My car Was Hartech car for last 12 yrs, give or take, but I'm in a dilemma whether to contue that or simply bank the monthly 'premium' & use my preferred local indy for anything I can't tackle myself. Will certainly be changing oil regularly & warming it up carefully before exploring the rev range, but can't decide if Hartech plan is a way of at least mitigating the labour bill, should the worst come to the worst with the engine of cheese.I don't see these an investments, just good usable interesting cars.

It's a maintenance plan - you pay monthly and it includes a service and MOT every year AND pretty much all labour for any breakdowns or repairs (not upgrades or elective work obviously, but if something's worn out they're flexible about what it's replaced with). So if you need brake pads/discs or a clutch or whatever, you just pay for the parts. What I like about the principle of it is that it's in their interests to have your car running well and not visiting the workshop for repairs.thegoose said:
