I have a clear memory of a Primrose Yellow '73 2.4S advertised in C&SC in the year 2000, beautiful condition, ex Chairman of Porsche Club GB owned. £16,000. Seemed a huge sum then... although it's a fairly big chunk even now...

Re: Hello from East London

Minimal, beautiful. And the smell of petrol's strangely addictive.

Re: Hello from East London

Thanks for the welcome messages all. One week into shaking my car down, this was an unscheduled stop in Shoreditch. I was figuring out how to fix a loose gear knob with a crush washer and a fag packet while my Mrs fiddled with her camera. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8547/8709049993_12c66e1573_z.jp...

Hi Chet

Yes, that'd have been me. My commute takes me from East London to Clerkenwell and at the moment I'm enjoying taking all kinds of random detours. Be great to see your car sometime.

I began looking for a 911 around 2009/10. I soon found DDK, signed up (and lurked), spoke to a couple of regula...
