Only one photo per post - so here's the second (of 2) photos. I've reduced these from their original file size of ~5Meg to 200K for the forum, but if you'd like full size, PM me your email address.

Good meeting you too David - and well done on your "Best Front Engined Car On The Field" prize - well deserved. Get your exhaust tip order into Porscheshop quickly - I've posted here and on 968UK about the one I found, so their stock may dwindle rapidly!
Whose was the black sport? I didn't get to meet him and would have loved to compare the sport to the coupe - the CS is a bit too stripped out for my taste, and this was the first time I've been close to a sport. Oh well, next time!

That would be me and we did meet, you were showing me the corrosion at the top of the front screen on your car, similar to what I had fixed on mine last year by Specialised Paintwork in Theale - top quality but not the cheapest.
A fifth 968 (metallic green cab) did arrive half way through the day but he left quite soon afterwards and I was deep in conversation with the R19 posse in the tea tent so missed him. R19 took first and second in the modified concours btw [
]I have a stainless steel Janspeed exhaust on mine and have been meaning to ask people about what product to use to polish to polish the tailpipe. Any suggestions?
Cheers

Oops - I've been told many times that, with my advancing years, the second thing that goes is the memory - now what the *** was the first!! I thought our 4 cars looked splendid, mine was probably the worst of the 4 courtesy of that bit of corrosion and the little dings on the rear wings and window frame. Still can't believe the one quote I've had for repairing those 4 little items - £1134+VAT! Second (and possibly third) opinions will be sought.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable day out, and definately one for next year's diary.
Regarding metal polish, the one that always sticks in the memory is Solvol Autosol - but that was cleaning the chrome on my father's Mk 1 Cortina GT a year or 40 ago. Autoglym do a metal polish, and the write-up of Smartwax Blue-B-Gone is impressive. I've not used any of them recently, but I'm sure someone on here or detailingworld will advise.
Good meeting you, look forward to the next instalment.
Cheers
