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

[Darren65]

Cleaned it and lent it to a friend for Prom duty .....

Since being roadworthy it's done about 1000 miles. Whilst recovering i thought i'd do an oil change for the first time since it's been driving. The sludge was more than i was expecting but the oil was not shining in the light.

You should send that headlining to the Porsche museum

Or the Tate.

An ex-DDK'r is on PROM duty for his son next week in dad's black '72.

Fixed the NS rear light issue with a good earth to the shell from the die cast housing.
Everything should be ok for the MoT on Tuesday next at 8.15am prompt.
Insuring it via Hagerty again the same day, others are about £30/40 cheaper but with higher excess, so sticking with Hagerty.

Question: when did the prom phenomenon arrive, or become popular in the UK? I left England in 1981, as a teenager, and don't believe it existed then (?). Does it cross all demographics? Just interested. Thanks, John

Ha- Me too but in 1990!
I asked exactly the same question yesterday- no answer in my house...
Must ask my kids- they are still in UK.

i asked my daughter about school disco vs prom. She said 'A prom is just your crap old school disco with a competition to arrive in the best car'.....

So there you have it.

Much appreciated. A long-held and still/sometimes earnest tradition here in the US. When I got to go (Southern California... 82 and 83), times were different - think 1970’s culture- and the naughty factor was still in full swing. Great as a young man, horrifying for parents.

Well it started like this.



Involved a bit of this



And ended like this.

Ha cool - what version did you fit? Hows it feel compared to the 5 speed? Do you need to find a home for your old gearbox?

Very perceptive young lady. She will go far.

I think it sums it up well
