Well almost.

If you squint and imagine the Triumph wasn't in the way :lol:

I've not seen the article yet so it will be interesting to see what they have to say.

Yet another media whore :lol:
Don't usually buy ClassicCars but I might make an exception this time...

Unless the Triumph wins of course. Then you can leave it on the shelf as usual! :)

"Have the courage to dance with it and you'll both have a lot of fun."
Here here !!
...And the Porsche wins :)
Not sure I wouldn't be tempted by the Alfa though :oops: It is what I grew up with (Even if they do only have 2 cams, and not the 4 claimed in the article !!)
Well done Gary, good to see it out there.

Excuse me, even without reading the article, where is the comparison, if any?

Congratulations Gary !

It always seems a shame that these 'classic' magazines don't use some of their more knowledgeable contributors to proof-read their articles prior to publication as they're invariably riddled with mistakes - like quoting the 911T's 0-60 mph figure as 10.4 secs !

- they couldn't even get Kevin Morfett's name correct - continually quoting him as Kevin Morpeth.

Still - a nice addition to your car's portfolio.

Just as long as people keep thinking the 'T' is the slow one it gives me opportunity to to surprise people!

Generally a pretty good article though, and as Tim says good to see the Porsche wins!

Car looks great Gary, and glad (but not surprised) to see it beat the 'opposition'

Pics look nice too but they are lacking something - maybe someone taking a pee in the background
