What a brilliant idea. The more the merrier.

Why not get in touch with the organizer, Dennis Greenslade? His contact is: dg@carbisbay.eclipse.co.uk.

Another Cornishman...and there was a number of Cornish crews on this year's event.

In my experience the finger can usually be pointed firmly at the regulator for most 912 charging issues - Part of the reason why I've just bought myself an alternator for my car! :wink: I was under the impression that one cannot fit an alternator to the 912 engine. I'd be interested to know if this...

Macmillan Cancer Support

We're back from our marathon drive...and what fun it was. Brilliant scenery and weather in Scotland, Good to awful weather in Ireland...but scenery not as good...and road surfaces appalling. Carolyn and I managed to raise £1700 by the end of the Tour, and together, all 35 entrants raised around £70,...

Will 185/70 x 15" tyres fit inside the wheel arches of a 1966 912?

Success...Carolyn and I have hit our target of £1500, thanks to all you generous people out there. However, we've now become very greedy and would still like to make more for Macmillan Cancer Support. After all, statistics trell us that one in three people will probably suffer from cancer in their l...

But don't you have to be a member of PCGB to receive Porsche Post? I'm not, so I don't.

I have the front seats out of my '66 912 SWB Coupe. Need work, but only to allow the driver to see over the steering wheel, not through it!

A public thank you to Max from Brod and Carolyn.

So far we've raised around £1200 for Macmillan Cancer Support and hope for more (naturally!). Although the run is in May, our fundraising site will stay live until 29 June - about the time of my next check-up.
