A Big Thanks to Garry at Classic FX

So, I have put up with some "patina" on my seats for a long time (since I bought my car. Before and after pictures here: Before: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49694765313_f2cb27bb0f_c.jpg And After: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49694766108_73432c0475_c.jpg Top job, top bloke. ...

Re: High speed instability SWB 911's

Re: Cheating a bit... gorgeous yellow 2.4S at GCR this morni
