No problem, John, happy to help out. Looking forward to getting those doors of yours straight againfcd911 wrote:With the easing of travel restrictions I was at last able to drop of my Targa doors, which are in need of some TLC, with Mike (MCE Porsche) and pick up my beautifully refurbished 15 x 6 Fuchs Wheels.

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.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
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).

All I can say is "All the best people have birthdays on 31st March !!" I celebrated mine with a run up the Antrim coast road on 1833cc of two wheels .... and had fish and chips in Carnlough !
Hope you had a good one.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
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...

Took "Jaffa" out for the first real run since completing restoration,
about 140miles and only one problem---some twat hadn't tighened up the throttle linkage on the left carb--it fell off!!!!
easily rectified and cruised home happily.
