Re: Opinions on the value of things 911

Sadly I can't help with a value, but God it looks great!

Re: Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars Porsche 914 Tonight 9pm on Quest

Hi All
I can't help feeling even as a lightweight bit of fun classic car show that the latest season has gone down hill (it never exactly set a high bar).

All the best
Ian F.

PS. My god those replica Fuchs wheels looked awful.

Re: Servicing in Cheshire or surrounding areas

I go to Ninemeister. Warrington J21 M6 I'd second this, they've done a great job looking after my 997 for the last five years. If your looking with regard to a 50's to 70's car then I'd recommend Mike Bainbridge Engineering near Kendal, it's a little further away but worth the travel. All the best ...

Re: M&W 550 Overhaul...

Hi All Time for a new years (OK, it’s a little late) update, the plan for this year was to spend some surplus cash on ‘resurrecting’ my Hi-Fi (It’s been left in the boxes it was packed in when I moved five years ago) and just drive rather than play about with cars, but the motoring Gods have other p...

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

Hi All Yesterday, I removed my 550 reps harness in an attempt to dry them out… https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230105/17a4f9b97e010cf9a08f5f8f978669f2.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230105/ab556c3f4cae661ea73c5f0325b4db0b.jpg Today if the rain holds off I’ll remove the tonneau cover and t...

Re: Johnney and Gordon Murry's car collection.

Hi Guys
Sadly they didn't mention the yellow DeTomaso Vallelunga tucked away in a corner, I've always fancied one of the (very few) Lotus Twin Cam engined cars they built.
Not that they built a lot of them with the ford engine for that matter.

All the best

Re: M&W 550 Overhaul...

Hi Guys Buoyed up by passing the MOT first time (and with no advisories) I decided to fit the last of the ‘shinny bits’ from Fibresteel. So the 550 now has authentic looking latch covers on the rear clam, however unlike the front there are no latches underneath, just a little more good old ‘Replica’...

Re: Goodwood Revival paddock pass wanted... Please!!!

Hi There Not sure if this is still the case, but at one time a 'Pit Pass' was only valid if you also had a 'Members badge' or were going in accompanied by a member. Sadly if this is still the case then a pass it's self is of little or no use to you. I'm sure a current member will be along to confirm...
