Nobody should take any offfence at my surprise to not having come across the Site over the last few years. Its my loss after all.

Just in case I had my head completely in the sand for the last few years I thought I would ask another active Porsche Club enthusiast if they had heard of it either. They hadn't. So at least its me and one other. But looks like I am spreading the good word already !

'Helen' mentions a yahoo email based site for 914 owners. Anyone know the address ? Just curious.

Don't know anything about 914 International being a virgin 914 owner but looking forward to finding out. Hopefully my car might be ready by then !!!?? Planning a couple of Classic car trips to the Continent next year on Regularity Rallies or track events so may be able to link it in.

Thanks again

Simon Rossiter's events with HRCR are well worth considering if you are a newcomer to rallying.

Thanks for this.
I've been a member of the HRCR for several years but not in the past 4 years when I have been focusing more on track events. Not aware the HRCR do any events on the Continent ? apart from their affiliation with Rallye Des Alpes which does not accept cars past 1968.

Excuse my ignorance but how do you automatically add a personal picture below your user name on all posts on the Site ?

These are non competitive events and I'm looking for something competitive or track time orientated. Particularly interested if there is some event that Porsches from the UK often go to as a larger group ?
Something like -
Trieste-Vienna, Suisse-Paris(RAID), Tour Auto Lissac, London Lisboa(HERO), Classic Marathon (CRA), MSA Euroclassic, French Revolution, Emerald Isle Classic(CRA).

Go into your profile and you can attach an avatar to your profile which pops up every post :)

Painfully !! It took me a while to sort it out (there's still a thread with
some of the evidence) but first you have to use a picture editing package
to reduce the picture size (80x80 is supposed to be the maximum)
and the file size, then go to www.tinypic.com and follow the instructions
for hosting it. Then control and C the middle (forum) address and finally
insert that (control and V) into the box in the Avatar bit of your profile.
What took me ages was finding the picture editing package that re-sized
the original picture in a simple and logical way - and now I've forgotten it.
Bugger. Trying to find it again now 'cos I want to change mine.

I do not think that entrants on the Classic Rally Touirs events would consider them to be 'non-competitive'. Just the reverse. Some events go down to the wire with overall winners winning by seconds over a weekend's rallying. Pop over to www.classicrallychat.co.uk and read what is being said over there.
