Got the brey bar from Porscheshop .... took a while to arrive though ( 2 months ish)

Sorry, nothing new to add, just wanted an excuse to show the ST in the right environment. What a superb car, I love it.

Love the pics, love the car

How are those tyres lasting after some OP abuse??

I tried for about 10 laps, I obviously wasn't trying hard enough as I couldn't get any heat into the tyres. The Toyo 888s on my 993 start to overheat after 5 or 6 laps, so I reckon the TB15s should last pretty well.

Blimey, it turns out I've made the world a better place and didn't discover it until now. Found this whilst browsing...

I guess that's what happens when you have such a fine example of such an iconic car, Paul - word gets around (my eyes were originally drawn to the right of the page however.....

)

I agree though, the world would be a lesser place without your Hot Rod (& even more so with lesser stickers.... KIDDING

)

The unit is nicely tucked under the leading edge of the passenger seat but falls easily to hand. Excellent result.

Paul, like your fire extinguisher set up. What size bottle did you opt for - 1kg or 2kg?

That`s an excellent article, you must be chuffed.

I`m really pleased to see you`ve removed the stckers and gone back to original. I didn`t want to mention it at the time but I think you made the right descision, the car looks so much cleaner without them.

Some how, with stickers it always brought to mind....

But without...

Much nicer.

Regards, Mike.
