Hello!

Some update from Gotenburg, Sweden.
The season have start and it´s time to take the car out of the garage.
The best update for my drive experience was the "turbo tie rods" whit bump steer kit from Elephant racing.
Also replace the old brake lines rear to new steel brake line, engine oil and filter, brake fluid and then a wheel alignment set up. Some disturbed wind noise from A-post area was little tricky to adjust but now fixed.
Have a nice weekend and i hope Liverpool ( Bootsy about Norwich City) will take the PL title, long time Glenn Hysén was a winner whit Liverpool :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Drove 914 on 180 mile round trip in the sunshine, roof off, to Roger Bray's open day. First real drive in the car and went well.

I did 220 miles to Roger Bray in the 718 roof down and got 36mpg, would have been more if I hadn’t entered and left the motorway late and early on the way back.

Excellent day out and superb workmanship from really nice, hospitable people who even provided food.

I spotted a very nice 914 and wondered how many DDKers were there. Turnout was very good and lots of beautifully restored, original cars that I prefer.

Our Motorsport Director is driving in it, in the Ex Henry Birkin Le Mans blower. Only pretty much the most valuable Bentley in existence. No pressure then...Image

Must go myself one day. Some fabulous machines.

It is our third time Gary, and a day of amazing cars and atmosphere, just out of this world.

Have a great trip Graham. We were going too, but life got in the way. Hopefully next year.

Shame to miss it.
Weather looks cool but dry, will post some pics as there are a zillion nice cars when we are back.
Off to Dessenzaro tomorrow, Brescia on Wed for the cars in the town, everywhere!
Boxster made for these kind of trips.

Bunked off work and took a wonderful cross country drive to visit Nick Fulljames in his new setting followed by a trip to catch up with Giulio and Gary Cook at GDC Automotive :) .....

Image

....good to see Nick pretty much set up in his new premises, a beautiful part of the Oxfordshire countryside and an exceptionally impressive looking car storage facility......still not quite unpacked, there's crates of rare Porsche parts and future projects......

Image

.....something for another day! :P ......

Just returned from spending 2 days at Center Gravity where Pete worked his magic on my 993. It now handles fantastic. I opted for 12mm above RS height. The journey is always so much nicer on the way back, shame it was mostly motorway.
