Hi, thanks for adding me (and thanks to the guy in Rownhams car park for recommending this forum, Jim I think?)

I have had my 1986 3.2 Carrera since 2013 and is now mostly sorted. It was resprayed by the previous owner in 2001 but is otherwise pretty original including the blaupunkt Toronto. I’ve done lots over the last 10 years including full engine and gearbox rebuild. It’s had a few trips to Le Mans. A tidy car but not a garage queen.

I also own a racing yellow 981s with PDK which has also been to Le Mans, two very different driving experiences.

I look forward to using the forum.👍

Hi and Welcome!

If you are free on 29/30th July, the Dorset based Woolbridge Motor Club are running a round of the British Hillclimb Championship at Wiscombe Park, between Honiton and Sidmouth. There is one of the largest ever entries of championship contenders, so it ought to be a spectacular weekend's motor sport.
Porsche Club GB and TIPEC I believe are both attending in numbers, and there are several Porsche mounted competitors, Laura Wardle and I in our 3.2 MFI Mod Prod hillclimb car, Phil James in his Cayman GT4, and Simon Tarling in his 996 GT3.
Fingers crossed there might also be our own KS in the interclub class in his very orange 914 - he's currently surfing gradually to the top of the reserve list :)
If you do make it, come along and say hello, car 38.
Cheers!
JW
