That is not a bad shout as he is an hour from Bristol where as Chrispin is about 1:45 away.

Re: PPI for a car in Bristol

Wow that is a long way to be going!! Looks like WB has great potential and hugely oversubscribed I believe. It clashes with something I wanted to do at Kop Hill that weekend but I am going to support WB instead by going to spectate as it will be great to have it be a success.

Re: PPI for a car in Bristol

Thank you JW, that is a good back up option. A fair way to get the guy to take the car so still hoping for something closer to Bristol centre. I have already discounted OPC Bristol on a car that age but maybe that is premature.

Are you doing the inaugural Watergate Bay event coming up?

PPI for a car in Bristol

Hi All. Who would you use for a pre-putchase inspection for a car in the centre of Bristol? The car is a 1970 911. I have done some research and Bristol doesn't seem to have any well know specialists. If no recommendations close to Bristol does anybody use Oak Tree Garage near Exeter these days and ...

Re: Earls Court Show Cars October 1968

Hi Arfor good to see you too. It is almost certainly a typo in the handwritten records and may well be OGJ 1G.

Ian.

Edit: Clarification - Rob confirms later in the thread the car was originally registered OGJ 1E and the records were correct.

Re: LSD suggestions for 915 gearbox

I don't think I've explained myself properly here. I feel the car is now more effective through the corners, not less. So if I'm "pressing on" through fast corners I feel it's better. I don't feel it slides at lower speeds than before - unless provoked. The difference is before I wouldn't...
