Late to the party as usual, and can't match Ferryman's pics.

But dutybound to say on behalf of the Graham/Sidlow family, thanks to all for a great adventure! Special in lots of ways: My shiny new brother in law, my sister (who, well, you know..) and my dad (who's own dad was in a nursing home at the same age..). Sorry we werent able to join you for the late nighters..Oh and there were some cars racing, I believe..? So:

Still can't believe the size of Jason's arse compared to James's..from 165 in 1958, to 295 wide, thou shalt not oversteer:

En route, through the poplar avenues:

Camping essentials:

Image


Crashing while on track seemed popular. Decided not to..

Image


On t'way to th'Arnage:

Image


On the way home we went to the beach (Jason, the stickers were perfect, thanks!):

Image


And to the city:

Image


But the stars of the show for me, were this pre-war model, in excellent working order whilst maintaining a certain patina:

Image


And of course this one from '65, benefiting from extensive recent mechanical work:

Image

Thanks DDK. :)

He's just updated this page and it looks to me as if there's a good shot of every 911 that raced this year. There are too many for me to cross-post to this thread. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lonefurro ... 650937101/

Great post Burma Shave. Made me smile. Did you really travel all the way 4 up in a 356? Respect.

I'd love to say yes, but..no. That was just taxi duties to Arnage corner. Still me and my dad, 2 tents and a bike and plenty of space left to Le Mans, around the track, and back with no issues at all - I think the little 50 year-old Porsche did well :)
