Took it to work on the hottest day ever. Regretted it when I opened the door tonight and stepped into the black vinyl trimmed oven....

After last nights failed 993 drive I fitted a new battery

Cleaned it and headed back into the Norfolk Countryside to wake it up

It was lovely out there tonight

Glued brake switch worked and cost nothing so have a fresh MoT.

Agreed value with Hagerty paid for.

I think this makes the car as good as it has every been. Hope nobody nicks it.

Hi Bootsy,

Did you purposely park in front of a dung heap?

Ordered a pair of Orange TRS 3 point harnesses.

Decision made not to put cage back in. It's just driving too bloody good now.

Fast, light and nimble....my love for this car is finally back in a big way :)
