One car back! The 912 is in the garage and happy. I gave Max the DDK 2014 CLM Poster we won for his garage wall. Seemed like a win-win DDK advert and a thank you for the work done. The defender problem was a turbo tube so easily sorted. Hopefully that will be back soon! Next, just waiting to hear from Angus about the 356.

As already said, an absolutely great weekend, with fantastic company, driving and scenery. Many thanks to Brendan and Mike for organising us all, which we don't make easy :) Good to see old friends and meet new faces too.

I drove over 1420 miles door to door and although some of it was without 1st or 2nd gears (the gear linkage fixed by James before the final stage of my trip home though so thank you very much) I still can't believe just how comfortable a touring car a 911 is. Haven't added up how much I spent on petrol but know by re-fuelling stops CIS does have advantages when it comes to fuel consumption :) ......just a shame I needed to add over 5 litres of oil over the weekend too :roll: and not sure exactly where it all goes!

Love the photo's and video's, will add a couple more photo's soon.

I hope everyone's cars that didn't quite make it are back on the road again soon and ready for the next trip.

All the best.
Regards

Simon

Oh dear - I had a feeling there was going to be a few posts like this. Plenty of cameras around unfortunately.

were we all in convoy then ? Didnt think we all went on that road ?Were you just over, or a long way over ?

Only camera I saw was on top of a bridge on the M80 after leaving the wheel. Now waiting for the post to arrive.

Andy, you have to ask for a photo as I bet the car looks stunning 8)

That's a bugger Andy :(

I'm pretty sure there'll be one for me when I get home as well .


On a lighter note , did anyone take any decent photos of my car ? The guy I got the wheels from is asking for pics to put on his website . None of the couple I took are much good or are a bit busy background wise .
Thanks
