On holiday but still manage some Porsche time

Hi, I have taken a needed week off and staying with family in Southern Spain. No chance of Classic Porsches here you would think. Well I knew we had a few customers in Spain but not one about 4 miles away from us. So before you know it a quick email and we are blasting along the sun drenched roads in a stunning 69S.
Then off to a paint shop to see his 67.....
All very cool, but there's more. 356B, 914,
But my favourite, his 75 Carrera, I wanted to buy this one.... Looks so period.
So I have met a new friend here in Spain and realised keeping away from these classic Porsches is very difficult, perfect combination.

There's only so much sun bathing a man can do.......nice one.
But make sure you relax properly too much work is not always a good thing ask me how I know...

Great pics Alan and cool story.
Shame the roads are so busy, eh?
Oh and, Lime Green Carreras are the next big thing...

That's great... I love the unexpected stuff that happens on a trip. That Carrera Targa looks like it needs a little run in the sun
Have good hols with plenty of R&R.

Don't forget there's a limited baggage allowance and a "barn find" will take you some way over...and you've got enough of those anyway! Looks like you had a good time - I hope Mrs D had plenty of "me time" to compensate for you doing boys stuff!

Hi, thanks for the messages. Having a great time thanks. Mrs D does not want to leave and the children are really enjoying just playing and seeing family. Looking angelic here, which didn't last for long!
Thanks again
Alan

Does anyone know of a Porsche specialist in N.Spain (Santander) for servicing?
