So, last Tuesday myself, Mike ( 210bhp), James ( 58a-71e) and our partners departed Hull for Zeebrugge.
Wednesday consisted of an early start from the ferry followed by a long drive through Belgium, into Germany and onto our 1st overnight stay at Zuffenhausen / Stuttgart. We had chosen a hotel within walking distance of Thursday’s destination

Thursday morning & I awoke to find I was now 36 years old ☹ !! Coincidentally James had had his 34th birthday the day before, so we were 2 birthday boys ….. and what better way of celebrating than a Porsche Factory Tour. It had taken a bit of organising but it was well worth it , an amazing place & fascinating to watch their process. Unfortunately no Photos were allowed, but basically all the ‘boxer’ engined cars are built on the same production line . Our guide had joined Porsche in 1967 & had worked on 917’s amongst other projects … he had some wonderful tales to tell.



So after a couple of hours being guided around the factory, time for a quick lunch & then onto the new Museum where we had also booked a guided tour. Our Guide here was a young girl who was surprisingly knowledgeable considering her short career with Porsche, but she too learnt a thing or two from hardcore anal DDK’ers
