This is just a runabout I picked up a couple of weeks ago.  The mint Edition 30 is still in the garage - not started and driven since 2010.

My Edition 30 beast in the garage running 330bhp with RevoTek Stage 3.  It’s dusty, but was detailed before being stored back in 2010 and was shod with brand new Michelin Pilot 3’s all round.  Obviously I didn’t expect it to be standing without being driven for so long.

Welcome back. That's a long time to have been sat. Those tyres have probably started to degrade by now. How come you've not even started it?

I think that once you do that I will ask yourself why did you do that? haha
