Hi Paul, Incredible pictures, I've really enjoyed looking through them, you could put on another ten pages of them for me....! :lol: The RS that you show is the Blutorange 356speed car, and the guy you were talking to is Claude, who has a somewhat strange way of doing business. I enclose a quote fro...

I have a customer with low profile tyres on his RS, the only prob' is gearing, and as for grip it is a lot better. regards mike Thanks for weighing in Mike, I've heard a lot about you, and all good! I've come across the gearing thing with bikes, Should've guessed it applied to cars too! I suppose i...

I am not an owner of a 'Lightweight' but I have driven one (one of the 17 RHD versions) a fair amount so feel able to comment. The original Recaro 'LWT' seats are very hard & uncomfortable for any distance - depending on your build (height & weight) you may be able to tolerate them for medi...

I have a question for any owners of Lightweights that there may be listening here. What are they like for driving distances? E.G. Say to Le Mans or further afield? Are those sports seats comfortable enough for distance, and does the lack of sound damping become an earful? I realise that's why the To...

Thanks for that James, now I know.

But, who cured it so quickly? I'd like to know that too if you don't mind, surely they deserve some big-upping?



Cheers,

James that must have been an awful and frustrating thing to go through. You have my sympathy. I'd agree with the 'walk away from it' thing, but then that is always easy to say when it's somebody else's pain or money. If you decide not to name and shame, then could I ask you to PM to me who this occu...

A couple of days well spent. And did you see how many 2.7 RSs there were for sale? Where was Spydermon? :lol: I did chat to REH about this before he went, and I would've loved to have done it. But I'm being pulled in about four different directions at the moment, none of which are Porsche related I...

Fantastic pics Paul, must have been a great few days! Did you get any pics of Edmond Harris's restored Blutorange RS LWT that I believe was on display here? Or the 356 Speed Blutorange RS Touring that was also supposed to have been there, perchance? I know that there was so much to see....but just i...

Would that be the underbonnet petrol heater so you have a chance of demisting? I really don't know Gary, I suppose I should e-mail Manfred and ask, I just hoped one of the many more knowledgable types on here would throw in a one-liner in explanation. :wink: BTW, OT, but.....One question I meant to...

Re: Winter present??

Just for interest, if anyone is looking for an RS in a few months, I see Freisinger has started restoration of 911 360 0789 - first shots have arrived on their website.... It's going to be black - nice! Paul Hi Paul, Manfred did e-mail me about this; and at the time (a week ago) I wasn't sure. I Li...
