Vic, look here: http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewto ... ht=uen+616

I saw the car at Beaulieu and tried to track it down but no luck. I went to Beaulieu to look at colours and after seeing this one decided to take my car back to the original Gemini.

WHAT a weekend I think my ears are still ringing!!!!!!

Great to see every one and put a face to a name thanks for the comments on my 912. I know we are the baby of the 911 world but I think I kept up with every one quite well..Wait till I finish building my new engine..

Have to say it was the best last min trip I have ever done.. The drive down was just great the drive back!!!!!! well that was TOPS....... Paul and I went on the back roads and it was PORSCHE COUNTRY!!!!!

Long straights GREAT twists and it was just like driving in North California on Highway 1 North of San Fran...

The sun was out and it was great to push the car I can't remeber every taking the 912 above 5,OOO rpm before and it was up there most of the way back!!!!!!!!

Guys next time you need to drive the back roads sounds like it would be better fun than the track laps!!!!!!

I hope every one got home ok and I have to say I was feeling alittle guilty when It only took me 10 mins to get home from the ferry at Portsmouth...

See the 356's the Dutch guys had and making new freinds there I am going to get started on the 54 project......

As a DDK new boy I was suitable impressed. Took me back to my vee dub days. Had a great time chatting and drinking with you guys, and a huge thanks to Brendan and Mike who rescued us from a very long walk home,

Gary and I owe you big time.

The ferry back looked like a 'classic car ferry'.
Pretty much all this deck was interesting stuff.
The trip back up the A3 last night was great too, every car I passed (or passed me - Charlotte) was a classic.
