Love it when a plan comes together
Don't stop writing about it, I really hope the negative comments didn't come from anyone on here, if so they are on the wrong site!

....on a day that was less Porsche perfect for me these words reminded me what it's all about!KS wrote: I've now driven El Chuckle a few times and it's still sinking in that I have my own Porsche again, in my garage, at my disposal whenever I want. Damn, it's been a long heart-breaking, bank breaking journey but it's worth it.
Congratulations Keith, not only did you get there.......you did it damned well!
Enjoy.

Re: 912/6 Project - good news at last!
Great write up, and I'm so pleased that it has finally put a smile on your face. Well done in keeping the faith in the ECU during the hard times. I know from my car just how hard it is when you've taken the unconventional route, especially when its not working right. You Got there... Now enjoy it.

Re: 912/6 Project - good news at last!
That's addressed the balance.
Great first drive, reminds me of mine 25 years ago with wife and daughter aboard.
hope you have 25 years ahead of you too, and an early 911 with brakes?
Remarkable!

Re: 912/6 Project - good news at last!
A great result - & the 'lows' along the journey just made the first trip more of a 'high'.
Incidentally - I don't know if you're aware of it but you can now do the registration transfer on-line in about 2 mins - you don't even need to submit any of the paperwork !

Jeez, that was boooooring.
The highs and lows and bank balance breaker. Just about sums it up. Car's turned out nice though.

Re: 912/6 Project - good news at last!
The DVLA site keeps telling me it's not possible on line and to send in the paperwork (I transferred a number to my Golf on line a few weeks ago). I called the helpline and the lady could't see any reason why it shouldn't work, but admitted it was a new system and they'd had glitches. Mine's a glitch. El Chuckle fighting back to the last! She said just to send the paperwork in and they'd do it the old way.Lightweight_911 wrote:A great result - & the 'lows' along the journey just made the first trip more of a 'high'.
