3164 posts.

As in 3164 cc in my beloved Carrera.

Have owned her for almost two years now. This summer season has been fantastic. Driven almost 6k miles. Done the service myself. She only craves 1 liter full synth oil per 4k miles. Bone dry. Good mileage and almost boringly reliable. Starts right up and never misses a beat.

Till death do as part. She has a total of 90k miles and I want to see her hit at least 300k. Will never sell.

I blame the addiction on you guys.

Are you sure your cylinders aren't worn and it now displaces 3165 cc's?

Well, you are heading for 5 liters, Stijn.

I guess you will have to cramp a V8 into the back of your car.
