Yep!
If LHD was the only right way this country and others would be full of LHD.
Wait! it is flooded with LHD 911's! :wink:

Plymouth looks a treat and not mainstream USA iron, so much the better.

Great turn out this morning. DDK cars block Cerne Abbas.

We arrived at the show-ground bang on time (after queueing for 40 minutes). The cars entered the parade in date order, Neil’s 56 356A at the front...

Image

Jakki Bardsley kept on sewing throughout, unfazed by the presence of Porsche racing royalty leading up front in a racing Boxster.

I didn’t have my faithful camera assistant with me today so this is all the video I could take of the ‘parade’. Rather bizarre experience but the crowd seemed to appreciate seeing the DDK cars.

We all parked up afterwards. The weather was fab, and there were big crowds. If you stayed by the cars the interest and questions were endless. Basically people love the old Porsches.

Thanks to all the DDK people who came on the tour and to the show - you all made it into a great weekend.
