Probably time to bring this thread slowly up to date!

Jumping back to spring my son found this stunning location with the blossom just about hanging in there:

Was nice to get some good pics of the S2000 just before it went the way of many a twitchy rear drive car!

Same location also offered an avenue of trees!

What does a queuing at passport control photo mean? Well apart from the miserable time spent getting fingerprinted, DNA checked and retina scanned in means an Euro adventure is about to start! Hull to Zeebrugge this time around.
This was in May, so less traffic not (too) hot and the snow has just about gone for the big passes to be open. Everyone else brought at least another 120bhp...:)

A long slog through Europe went without drama until my car started to lose power, and eventually coughed it's last breath as it rolled into the underground car park in Ulm. The gap on my newly fitted points, only replaced as the ones in there where at least ten years old, had closed up and these cars get emotional fast without the right dwell angle! Those too young to know what that is can Google it :)

Back up and running pretty rapidly and with a newly high idle speed, as it messed the ignition timing, I was ready for the first passes.

Awesome collection of cars this year, from the usual 2.7 Carrera, 3.2 Carrera, 964, Boxster, 996 GT3, to 997 GT3 RS, to Ariel Nomad and of course a Ferrari 512 BB :)
