The R27 is 10 years old today!!
I somehow noticed last week when I was looking through the cars paperwork that it was first registered on this date in 2007 - It also coincides with it being 3 years of ownership!
I recently had the car in for it's yearly service and as a birthday treat while it was there the Akrapovic I'd recently bought was fitted, and what a difference! I'll be honest I wasn't sold on the exhaust at first but over the last week or so after putting a few miles on the exhaust and a great drive out to Windermere I've just fallen in love with the car even more than I already was! Ignore any of my previous comments on other threads about the Akrapovic and go buy one!!
So last weekend I was heading out to Windermere and I decided it was time to treat the car to a good clean, along with the full interior as the seats hadn't been done properly since I bought it (how bad of me I know!) 2 of my good friends own a car cleaning business so left it with them to work their magic, not sure of what was actually done (cleaning/detailing) isn't my thing but wow! Don't these cars just look absolutely brilliant when clean!
72,000 miles, 10 years later and it looks like it left the factory today!
