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

Hi All
Running a little late with this but MOT'd the Spyder a week ago...
Passed 1st time with no advisories (for the 3rd year in a row).
Happy? You bet I am!

All the best

Re: Chris Harris and the Tuthil 911

Going back a few years now, but didn't Tuthil's build Chris Harris a 911 'resto mod', I seem to recall him wiping around in a green, wide arched, long bonnet car they built..?

All the best

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day

. OK Ian ... The Elite is raw, noisy, involving, exciting – every drive puts a big smile on my face. For me it's everything a sportscar should be with nothing superfluous - but it doesn't like today's poorly-surfaced UK roads On the other hand the Fulvia feels light, airy, effortless (but accomplis...

Hi Andy
Please don't leave us hanging ;-)
What would you say are the differences in their characters?

Re: DDK is 20 this year !!!

I can't believe it had only been around for five years when I joined, it felt like such an established source on knowable (and opinions).
Don't know what I do without it now!

Ya us!
