I agree - when Adrian told me about her, I thought 'Oh, another hey look at me' blogger, and her intro piece did her no favours, with the creepy eye make-up, but as you say, she turns out to be a real enthusiast with a desire to learn. Hell of a first Porsche, too!

I don't know who she is but I thought she came across as a genuine enthusiast.

She obviously knew what she was getting into (although quite a daring choice for a first Porsche) & I particularly liked her statement that she was keen to put on some smaller diameter wheels with bigger profile tyres (ie more like the original spec).

Also applauded her idea of taking it somewhere like an airfield to explore the handling limits.

.
It says she is in Cork- so local to several of us - and a very active (normally ) Porsche Club Ireland region - with a few classics!
Wonder how we get in touch?

Ps Without the makeup looks like a wholly different and normal person!!

I can't get my head around that. About 100k on inst and YouTube, which is not a lot, but somehow has generated enough cash to buy a RUF. Someone please explain the revenue stream to me?

PS I think she could out drive me but that is a long list

What a car this Porsche is, and considerable driving skills all round.

Always good to see such a mass of cars so carefully tended to and used, but just where do all these people find the money and time to do it all?
