I'll be trying to have a year of two functional Porsches - no projects!. The 69t and the 997 GT3.

Hoping to join Feroz in Wales and me and Mrs R are planning a early summer holiday tour down to Italy and back. That'll be in the GT3, so will have to go to Wales in the t!

Hoping to have the rear suspension on my single seater working properly for a better ff2000 race season too.

Looks like more surgery on the way for my dodgy wrist.

And somehow find time for my full time job in Mansfield and my part time one in the Philippines!

Need a lie down already!

Started with a drive out in both cars this morning which was fun.......great to have the Mongrel back on song, such an addictive car! :drunken: .......Plan this year is to drive them both farther, faster and harder than I ever have before :thumbleft:

Also hope to have gained a fat arse before the year is out and added some Mexico Blue into my life :)

I’ve been working hard on the fat arse for the last couple of weeks :)

I’d like to think I’d have the metal work done by the end of the summer so I can paint it before it’s too cold. But you know how these things tend to drift...

Happy New Year to everyone in the Ddk family. I hope 2019 is kind to you all.

Me, I’ve a feeling Sicily might be calling again so that I can visit the one place I missed on the last trip and hopefully reconnect with the friends I made last time. Need to explore more of the island too. Can’t believe it will soon be three years since the last tour.

And there’s also the small matter of the targa resto.

Regards
Mike

Now my '69 S is back at home, and implausibly good fun in current spec, I'm going to drive it. Hope to see some of you soon.
Probably should try to finish the orange car.

Cheers, Happy New Year to all,
Richard.

Main Porsche related plan for the year... get my '12 on the road.

I'm sure I said this last year, but this WILL be the year!!
