Went to the first Scramble at Bicester today, 3 Deg and a breeze, Cold...
Oddly not much there, many repeat cars and far fewer people than i expected which was good. A lot of post 2000 cars and many less than 12 months old. Sign of the times maybe.

Got there at 10 instead of 9am and no queues.

Boxster as good as gold and toasty too.

Also went to the scramble.

Got there early stayed until about midday.

Plenty to see I thought and great variety.

Cold though. But Dry.

That KG was really nice.
Take the Porsche out of the displays and there would be some big gaps

Right hand drive too - a rare thing. Would give a useful body part for a razor edge like that.

After a month of illness spent a rare few hours in the garage- a bit of planning and measuring for a secret race car project, and replaced the throttle cable on the Tiptronic.

Even those pictures don't fully show the interior off, in person the combination of colour and texture is off the scale.
Totally suits the car 100%.
One of 3 impressive cars there for me.

Worse ways to spend a Friday lunch…
Spent the time driving around rural Norfolk in this lovely 3.2 Carrera. It’s for sale in the classifieds by the way.

Lovely - it’s set up so well, lovely box - just a joy to drive. Somebody will get a good one when they buy it - which based on a call I’ve just had looks like it will be moving on soon
