Re: Motorsport at the Palace 2012

Hello

Well I've been posting a bit in some of the threads so I guess it's polite to introduce myself. I currently have a 67 912 Targa. It's my 2nd 912. The first one I bought on a wimp after driving past it at Tower Porsche. That car was a bit of a rocky ride but came good in the end. To begin with the en...

Re: The economics of classic car investing?

Re: 79 days to Classic Le Mans

I'm looking over the options. What is a paddock pass? Is that a pit lane pass so you get to see up close all the cars?

Re: 79 days to Classic Le Mans

I thought about going to this. Am I too late to organise it? What is involved? I must admit I'm not sure keen on camp but maybe Mrs B would be keen too.

Re: Track cars - Trackday junkie !

Thanks I'm so new to this that I have to ask does that mean on track we are all driving on the over side of the road? European / US driving style? You should be using the racing line!
