Ken,
That picture wasn' t q-u-i-t-e at the limit. Somewhere, I have another which shows the tacho needle just beyong the redline - speedo indicating 170mph. This picture is a better shot, though, as it' s nice and clear and shows foot-to-the floor! Taken on a favourite Autobahn, close to the Nurburgring.
Interestingly, this particular shot was taken whilst I was being tailed by another 964 (Brian Thompson' s - aka the ' Blue Shadow' !) which very nearly came to grief because the tail pipe and final box of my exhaust had not been retightened properly after a recent service (at an un-named location!) and was about to drop off!

Here' s that other (even faster) picture...
Hi All
Just thought i aught to share a picture of my baby. I bought it last month after ages looking for one.

I will try again
And a picture of the inside too. Just to prove it wasn' t a fluke!!
Well spotted sir!
It is the very one. He contacted me through John Miles site and read that i was looking for one and he would rather sell it to an enthusiast than someone who would not look after it. If you are familiar with the car you will know that Will took very good care of it and treat it to a few extra goodies e.g big red conversion but with yellow calipers, lowered suspension FVD sportskit (Bilstein struts and Eibach springs) the list goes on.
Here is close up of the caliper.
Regards
Neil

I am ok with a 993 - anyone who has seen these cars close up know they are really 964' s with slightly dodgy build quality - the slide to softer bmw-like cars started with the 993 - wiring looms made of brittle coatings - cheapskates!

Here comes the cavalry! Hi Alexander, thanks for joining me on the forum.
Rather different to www.titanic.co.uk/964 and smartgroups that we are more used to. But undoubtedly this forum does embrace the all of the Club Membership. I' m already enjoying the banter, as well as sharing information with the other Registers.
In reply to Bluebottle' s message a couple of days ago, Paul suggested that the Club' s forum being UK based can well serve the Membership in one way, by giving personal recommendations of good Sevice and Suppliers. I will add here again, you can recommend, but it' s against the rules for legal reasons to criticize.
Looking forward to lots of contributions from you. Your technical knowledge will be much appreciated.[8|]

We extend a welcome to Members logging on for the first time.
The Forum is now in its third week and we have had to-date 952 hits on this Welcome page already.
If you are new to using Forums, don' t be shy about posting a message., if you don' t like what you have written and want to change it, there is the Edit Button which is easy to use.
We love to see photos of your Porsche, again quite easy to upload once you get the hang of doing it. If you read through our early posts, you will see that we couldn' t do it first time and have given some instructions to help others.
Don' t be frightened to ask technical questions, we have a load of guys out there who are very knowledgeable about 964s. If you have a problem however simple, it' s good to share it with a friend.
BUT ANY ADVICE GIVEN IS ONLY FROM OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED IN PLACE OF CONSULTING A QUALIFIED PORSCHE SPECIALIST.
Best wishes
