The day is almost upon us....and the weather here in the NW has been perfect today...
Got the car out , pumped up the Toyos , must have forgotten to do it after the last trackday at Goodwood on 14 July !!
Car not particularly clean but its too hot to be polishing.
Went over to Tech9 to see Phil Hindley look at some of the older cars that they are working on , they have a perfect restoration of a 1974 2.7 Carrera , LHD California car in Acid Blue , will be entered for the Club Anniversary Concours next month . Unfortunately has already been bought by a collector/ speculator , the value of these cars being pulled up by stratospheric 1973 Carrera RSs which share same mechanicals.
Had a good look at the Viper Green RSR evocation based on a 72 911 and with full FIA papers , ex Paul Howells.
Twin plug engine but single distributor and pretty noisy , no good for trackdays [

Then off to Unit 11 , met up with Stuart Speed of the mint green 964RS Clubsport ilk , and saw a very desirable blood orange early 911 , 1965 2 litre on Webers , built up by Tuthill's for rally work , FIA papers , probably £100ks worth [8|].
Having gazed at over 250k's worth of early Porsche within an hour and bemused enough only to take 1 pic , drove home in the comparatively modern 964RS and was reminded of how it cannot be rivalled for tautness of controls
....BRILLIANT [
