No problem, John, happy to help out. Looking forward to getting those doors of yours straight again :)

Look forward to seeing all this luv you are spending on the car John.
Meeting somewhere in the 911's soon when the doors are done?

I'd best not park too close to the Targa!

Birthday today, so we went to the local National Trust for a cake and the cherry on the top was we actually went in the 911 and not the Boxster.

Ran well in all the post Covid traffic.

Thank you both, fab day to use the 911 and nearly matching all the diff on the road side. Soon the blue Lola will match all the blue bells at Prescott hill climb!

The 911 felt almost civilised trolling along in 4th, 5th too tall in traffic.
Hoping the recent Lola mini adventure and a few runs in the 911 and Boxster will awake the mojo senses and pedal to the metal! ( even if only in one of the cars).

That trip sounds more exotic than mine!

Great day and hope that the covid stuff will soon disappear, 12 April will be a watershed and soon Wales will be open for tourists!
Happy birthday to you too by the way, you will start to catch me up... :)
