Well done again. Great weather for a great event. Lovely mix of 145 Porsches.

Highlight of the day of course was Brendan, Mike with Sylvia, Tom (TP81) and possibly a new DDK'r, (Hi Iain) with his gorgeous 356c, all original paintwork and in his ownership for 25 years.

We really should meet up more often, can't let the DDK'rs south of the border have all the fun.

Well said Margaret, great to see everyone today.

It would be good to try and get something organised, a run one night mid week and stop off for food similar to the curry night would suit me. Weekends are too busy at times with kids activities, etc.

A huge thank you to all the DDK people that supported todays event ,without your help these events could not happen .Yes 145 cars without doubt the most Porsches seen in Scotland .
It was nice to see old friends Helen and Larry Geoff up visiting their daughter. Helen is well known to a lot on DDK .If you are reading this guys nice seeing you after all those years sorry could not speak longer as I was a bit preoccupied

Final picture from me. You know that racing driver have to train and keep fit. Diet also plays a big part in the pursuit of speed. Here's a picture of Margaret in the pursuit of a hot dog a week before the Bo'ness Hillclimb

Oh I remember now….you and Mike munched the lot.

Great day.

Thanks to Brian for all your hard work. A very successful event! Weather was great too. How often have we been able to say that this year.

One major complaint thought and I'm sorry to have to bring this up but I only had half of half of one of your rolls Margaret and Brendan split it and gave me the smaller half! It was yum yum though.

Very nice to spend half an hour chatting to Helen and Larry and catching up with their (very) eventful life over the last few years. I think Helen is still Porsche girl at heart even though she does not have one (or the outfit to match) at the moment.

Nice to meet Ian and Duncan , both with very very nice early cars.

Thanks again Brian.

Regards
Mike

A rare outing for Sylvia and she's looking lovely, Mike.

Thanks Steve.

She's running so strong right now and i had forgotten how nice a buttery smooth freshly rebuilt Mike Bainbridge gearbox is after the oil gets to temparature. It is a delight to drive.



Regards
Mike

Made me really miss my cars and Porsche events.
