GoPro mounted - anything in the 13,s for the 1/4 mile would be cracking - hillclimb anyone's guess - actually out of i...

Jersey Festival of Motoring.

Getting very excited about the weekends event. Things starting off with a quick parade / sprint of c. 40 911's from late 60's , though until 991's with most derivatives coming out to play ( lots of RS's through the years ) Mine will be in a final "parade class" with an original 911 RS and ...

Considering venturing into the dark side ( 997 GT3 ) .....

After 7 years or so of very happy ownership , I feel it might be time to sell a very clean , extensive provenance 72 S and thinking seriously about the purchase of a Gen 1 997 - just wondered if anyone here had any experiences with the Gen 1.

Just a cheeky plug to mention that the above is taking place and given the 50 year porsche connection, the club will be having c. 30 911,s from mid 60's through to current , with almost every derivation of GT,s , Turbos and RS,s taking part in opening the event. But... :( :( sadly , i am the only pa...
