Took the yellow car out last night into the Norfolk countryside, found a nice pub and had a nice meal - nice.

Put the SC into winter storage a bit early..After a manic summer and a last minute rebuild before CLM, I think she deserves a rest while I fix stuff on her mates.

Night night, see you in spring..

Fitted struts on the engine lid on the 964 OPC were the best price.

Had my local german car guy turn off my airbag warn light on the 6T, after I had previously disconnected the door airbag to replace the window regulator...FOC, happy days.

Drove around the Cotswolds in the company of ~ 15 assorted 356's & 912's on the route planned by Neil - thanks for organising, Neil.

After being woken at 3am by torrential rain, the weather for the drive itself turned out to be fantastic - covered approx 170 miles ... :)

Fantastic picture highlighting a really good fun filled day! A few miles after that picture was taken we had two groups on two different routes!

Shall I mention the kerfuffle in the high street where 10 porches attempted u turns after getting lost. Gave the locals something to talk about!

Great to meet you all, and thanks to Neil for organising.

Just home in sunny Essex

Took off all the fuel pipes in an attempt to find reason for increasing difficulty in starting after stopping for a while (as the guys from Spa will confirm :roll: ).
Appears to be a fuel supply issue, because despite lots of cranking it doesn't seem to stink of fuel or flood. But after finding leaky section of pipe at Spa, haven't find any other cause yet. Fuel pump delivery seems OK. Sourcing some E15 standard Cohline 2240 to replace.

and not long after that the smaller group also became two groups!
All three groups got to the final destination in the end :bounce:
A great day and many thanks to Neil for putting it together.
