I think I tried but you were in conversation... did you have a passenger? And I was wanting to get back to the track to see the 356 in front of you go round. Also... tsk tsk, no ddk sticker :(

Also, what was that car in front of you with "Speedwell" on the side? That was a hoot, lots of cheers as it drifted round Fradley.

Ah, sorry my DDK sticker has decayed to a brown splodge. My passengers were a mates wife my wife, my son and the paddock marshall. All of us were sufprised with yhe 356 grip....thats the first time ive driven it on track . The Speedwell Sprite, is a pukka example of a Speedwell Sprite....a competition modified Frogeye. That belongs to a great guy called David Wylie, whose Father had that car before him, and rallied a lot in NI. A rare historic wee beastie always driven with great vigour! If you were there last year, he was driving his ex works race/rally BMW 2002, in a similar style. W

I navigated Mike Wylie for several years in the Speedwell, incl the ‘91 Pirelli Marathon. The car was originally owned by his brother-in-law, Adrian Boyd who the Circuit of Ireland in 1960 in a Sprite at the age of 19. The car was crashed on the way back from Kirkistown, I was told, by Adrian’s brother, Derek, which is why it has a Sebring nose on it.

The Sprite was always driven with great aplomb by Mike and we had many adventures in it.

Apologies for a non Porsche pic on this thread

On reflection we may have spoken briefly. Did you tell some guy you hadn't been on the rolling road for a while but got 75 at the wheels, from 90hp factory? If so, that was me.
