I use my 911 for regularity rallies and would not be without front and rear guards. Even on the road where there a gulleys across the road I have scored the front guard. The weight penalty is nothing compared to the cost of damaging the tank or engine. Mine came from Francis Tuthill.

Rubber hose has a shelf life. A reputable hose should have a cure date on the hose itself. I would not want to install hose that is older than two years from the rubber cure date Your hose looks like it has aged which suggests it may have been sitting on somebodies shelf for some time and perhaps no...

Would not miss this show.
It is the best exhibition for Historics certainly in the UK.
Will be there Saturday.

A rare colour, Irish Green. Am I correct in thinking it was only a USA colour? I have never seen a right hand drive 911 in this colour.
So my car is not unique in its colour after all!

Puts things into perspective!! The technology of aerodynamics and power to weight ratio combined make F1 cars what they are. The speed through a bend is just awsome.

I was at the HRCR open day last Saturday, took the Porsche along, and talked to a few people doing that event. Good luck. Post some photo's on your return.

That could be the last Regis Rally. Certainly Bognor Regis Motor Club are not running it this year. Great shame as I always enjoyed it.

Best proposaL ever and what an adrenalin rush!

Sixteen minutes of pure sound. A moderated driving style might produce better stage times but sit back and listen to the sound. What girl could refuse his proposal at the end! http://www.wrchd.com/index.php/2010/12/23/porsche-gt3-rally-action-2010-pure-sound/ MSA change the rules and bring these car...

Mine were fine when I replaced them just after I bought the car 18months ago. Then I put hood lights on the bonnet and of course the gas struts will not hold up the additional weight. I have to resort to a wooden pole much to the amusement of the scruitineer. So if anybody can point me in the direct...

Hi rafiki, Good luck in finding a navigator. My regular nav cried enough after the complexity of the navigation on the first event this year in Angelsey. I have had three different people for events this year. I tried advertising on the HRCR web site which brought about one. I found the best route w...

This to me is all about why do you want a classic car as it applies equally to most makes. In fact the lower the market value of the car the more difficult it is to realise the investment you perhaps have made. Do you want the car because you are an enthusiast or do you want it as an investment. To ...

I have no experience of these but as an observation if you look at the information there is a locking device which is based on a metal lever hinged at the top of the cylinder. This only allows the device to be locked at one height and will put a side load to the cylinder rod. This is not good for th...

White Early 911 A34 Northbound

Fleeting glimse of a white early 911 going North between M4 and Abingdon around 10.30am today, Sunday. I was heading south in the Scooby, difficult to see any detail.
