On holiday but still manage some Porsche time

Post by Alan @ CanfordClassics »

Hi, I have taken a needed week off and staying with family in Southern Spain. No chance of Classic Porsches here you would think. Well I knew we had a few customers in Spain but not one about 4 miles away from us. So before you know it a quick email and we are blasting along the sun drenched roads in a stunning 69S.

Then off to a paint shop to see his 67.....

Image

All very cool, but there's more. 356B, 914,

Image

Image

But my favourite, his 75 Carrera, I wanted to buy this one.... Looks so period.

Image

So I have met a new friend here in Spain and realised keeping away from these classic Porsches is very difficult, perfect combination.

There's only so much sun bathing a man can do.......nice one.

But make sure you relax properly too much work is not always a good thing ask me how I know...;-)

That's great... I love the unexpected stuff that happens on a trip. That Carrera Targa looks like it needs a little run in the sun 8) :sunny:

Have good hols with plenty of R&R.

Don't forget there's a limited baggage allowance and a "barn find" will take you some way over...and you've got enough of those anyway! Looks like you had a good time - I hope Mrs D had plenty of "me time" to compensate for you doing boys stuff!

Hi, thanks for the messages. Having a great time thanks. Mrs D does not want to leave and the children are really enjoying just playing and seeing family. Looking angelic here, which didn't last for long!

Thanks again
