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

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.
On our way to the Mille Miglia via Antibes in the Boxster.
1650 km so far, most at 130+ km/hr, what a mile eater it is and you can guess the mpg.
Only seen or passed by 5 Porsche's so far.
European roads are so so smoooth.

Same here. Getting ready to flip it over!
Still a complete bombsite just out of shot though.

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...
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 .....
....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......
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.
