Awesome stuff James. I did an hour on the low grip circuit a few years ago - some o the best fun I’ve had in the car. I’ve not heard of these longer courses - must read up on those....

Took the 356 out on Saturday to Leaning ton. Unfortunately a crap band on. When I left 5 people where admiring the car. One of them almost got the year and recognized a 71t so I gave him a ride. I had to point out that this wasn't a pick up! He was nearly speechless. Sometimes we forget what these cars can mean to people.
Yesterday I greased the king pins and front suspension. It has made the steering smoother. I even persuaded Mrs to drive the car in the evening

Started the orange beastie for first time in 6 months. Fired up first time and purred like a kitten.
