Ignore me, I'm only jealous of your car. Lovely stuff.
Re: EKO181K - 1972 Porsche 911T 2.5
^^^^ .. that did make me laugh though
Darren, the car is stunning and I love the details .. its odd to think that the majority of 'modern' porsche fans who see the car won't even notice most of them

Re: EKO181K - 1972 Porsche 911T 2.5
Me too .......and to be honest I was expecting way more ribbing than that.......it's why I've been holding back!hot66 wrote:^^^^ .. that did make me laugh though
But then the restoration thread is done and at over 90 pages long is way too heavy and tedious to attach to my signature!......
....time to stop calling the car a 'DT Special' or 'Mongrel' and move on........now this is just a simple diary about driving and living with my T.....promise to keep content to a minimum.....
....kinda!
Cheers,
Darren
