Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Ah Curburough. It’s been a while!
‘91 in a tortured 1295cc Golf staying off the kerbs
A few years later in my VR6 Mk2 battering the kerbs on two wheels:
Then later on three wheels in the 911.
Must get back soon. Huge fun in such a small space.

Try the Figure of 8 configuration!
C3S, yes the Kart track of today was a skid pan back then.
Did you ever know Dave Parr in his Anglebox?
Curb is a great place, and private test days there have been so beneficial to sorting troublesome suspension out.

Looks like the 356 shell is nearly finished Jon - how's work on the 308 going ?

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Sorry, l only did it once and managed to beat a Clumax lmp. Just drove there, did my best & nervously drove home. Will def go again as a spectator as it’s so close to home.
Have a good one

The recent photo of the Aluminium strut tower failure of the Cayman GT4 reminded me how next level the Lexus LC500 towers are.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
I grabbed a few hours this afternoon to finish cutting the Beetle roof skin in. Detailing of the joints still to be done followed by internal cleaning/painting before final assembly. Quite happy with it so far. Need to get some thin sheet welding practice in before starting though!
I think I’ve finally picked how it’s going to look. ‘67 USA style!

That's going to look great Gary. I have a 74 1200 base that's in mid restoration.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Have you consulted your son yet?
It is his car?
EMPI wheels and a 60mm drop in the front as Hot says, or, if it is your son's car, bog standard.
Looking forward to the welding!
