From one money pit to another. Boy, do we get a hard time from home - all our own doing of course, and they really don't understand.
Images later, but the pair of muppets (Waldorf and Statler?) have bought an e30 each! What for, well we have these grand ideas of going racing next year....and a third may join us as well. The two cars (knackers by our Porsche standards) are both sat on my drive, neighbours thinking tinks have moved in, and probably sick of the revving engines.
Just as Winter encroaches, and all we want to do when we get home from work is sit in front of the fire, TV on and do bugger all, we now have to fully prep cars for racing.
We took the trackday thing as far as we could, perhaps a little too much aggression and competition between us at times, thought this racin lark is 'easy', if somewhat expensive, looked at how we could do it on the cheap, visitied a couple of race meetings and went off and bought a car each. We possibly have 20 wheels between us already!!!!
So, although we have secured a deal on 5 trackdays for next year, the planned - and hopefully entertaining - tales from JP and Dave will have 'Porsche' replaced by 'BMW'........is it at this point we have togo and find another forum? We're already talking about how 'competitive' we may get with each other on circuit, albeit at the back of the grid.
The 968's....i don't know....at the moment it has been abandoned to the garage, will hopefully make an appearance or two on a track near you next year, but i suspect that we will be thrashing the living daylights out of cars with half the power (and 1125kg total weight inc driver). Is this the end of an era for our 968's? Hopefully not, but i am sure you will be pleased to hear the comparisons, the knocks, the offs, and what it looks like up at the ack of the grid.
All the best
