Looking good Jason, although it needs a different set of alloys...

Track day at Castle Combe. But not in this one, because it’s my old 993 that it was a delight to see again, also participating.

Image

New owner has these wheels on now, which I think suit it. Nice to see it’s still loved. Was a tip though. So...

Image

Anyway I was using my 996 C4S. Nicely busy, and very friendly as usual, and so far the rain’s stayed off. Good to get out. Next week it’s aircooled - Classics at the Clubhouse.

It has the original mags but I really like the black BBS. They look great in person imho but photograph $hite as my old iphone loses all definition and just looks like a black blur....

When I've saved for a new set of tyres for the mags I may put them on as a change but these have new ones on so need wearing off first! Shouldn't take me long :lol:

Dashed off for a quickie in Wales for 2 days.
Was going to take the 911 (my idea), but Mrs H had other ideas and because the weather promised rain and everyone wants to steam my crappy 911 we went in the boxster.
Sun shone all day both days.

Anyway, the 2 days were great, open roads for around 25% of the time but Wales looking great as it can do.
Seems pointless having a 250 bhp sports car. There is always someone coming the other way, so you simply follow the sheep in front of you.
Journey would have been hard in the 911 tbh.
