Hi
Thanks for letting me into DDK. Recommended by my mate Al, an existing member.
I'm a lifelong 911 fan, having worked at Autofarm as one of my first weekend and summer hols at school jobs in the 80's (yes...vintage...) I got hooked on early cars and their modified brethren.
Favourite memories include spectacular test drives in Josh Sadler's 3.5 hillclimb weapon, delivery driving a mint 2.4S from Germany to Guernsey, a 73RS rep from Autofarm to Scotland to Mike Bainbridge, developing a 3.4 Weber throttle bodied SC special, first rides in the 3.0 and 3.3 turbos when first launched....and many more.
Dream? to buy (ha!)/build and race a Porsche 908/3 a la Vic Elford....
As soon as I could I bought a 911 - a dark blue 964 Carrera. I will dig out a picture to share.
Had to let that go and have then shared a 2005 BoxsterS with the missus since new ( do I get kicked out for that?) Now at 110K miles including increasing time on the track.
Been looking for a few years now. Toyed with a GT3, should have bought and then saw the prices sky rocket!! Typical.
Now looking for a 911 project to build into a light, balanced, fun fast road/track car...probably S/T, RS look, but like the idea of doing something unique. Ground up resto?....997 on a diet....?
So...all advice, leads and chat welcome!
Cheers
