I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
This thread is getting silly! So here's a shameless bit of self promotion as the race season approaches. This is me keeping Davey Walton at bay at Donington in 2018. He's an ex Caterham Vauxhall race champion of the 90's. He proceeded to overtake under yellows for the safety car shortly after - argh.

And then just idly googling led me to this:

What absurd roll over protection! And they'd be better off with a HANS device, that hit from the rear must have hurt.

I only ever polished my Seven once (spent ~ an hour) - & it's probably the only car I've ever polished !
