[oldE]

It is kind of ironic that, twice in the last twenty four months, I have had incidents which left me driving the old E for two weeks as my main mode of transportation. Since I have it registered as an antique, one is not supposed to drive it to work, but the co-workers get a kick out of it. The drive is only about 5 miles, one way and, unlike some other opinions expressed, I like to drive the car more. I currently drive about 2000 kilometers annually.
When I drive the car only occasionally, I lose that 'connected' feel which allows me to drive without the conscious review of every little suspension movement and wheel twitch. (to say nothing of the fun of shifting a 901 gearbox) Once I have 'relearned' the feel of the steering and the supple action of the suspension, it becomes a car built for a greater purpose than decorating my garage.
