This beautiful machine has carried us safely for thousands of miles across five states all along the Eastern and Southern coastline of Australia over 26 days.
We just gave it a thorough wash from top to bottom (including the undercarriage).
Truly grateful for its amazing ability to combine so many seemingly contradictory characteristics. From the practical: Storage, fuel economy, Apple CarPlay etc, to the fun: howling engine with crackles and pops (soon to be a relic of the past), big breaks and a stunning look.
It’s quite amazing how a car can have a soul. It even breathes every time we park it. Even after endless miles and 8 hour stretches I’m still excited to get into it and drive again. I think Aliya Saad and I will forever look back fondly on “Lucky” - our 718.
As always, though, it’s not the “thing” that matters, but the experiences it gives you with your loved ones. And oh the experiences we’ve had!
Now it’s time for it to relax and be carried back to Brisbane in the lap of luxury on the back of a special purpose car carrying transport by Ceva.
