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

Got the race car off the stands for the first time in 6 months - 3 days short of the season opener at Anglesey. It is easy to see why I struggle to get it on and off the trailer and keep cracking under trays….

Let me find out - Historit at Bicester Heritage tested them for me.

In the meantime this one has a similar display:

Stunning. Looks like Signal Orange there.

Thanks Rob. It can also look almost like Bahia Red too in different light!

Always a good feeling once it is done

Yesterday I went to the beach and I filled the tank before and after and when I worked out the mpg it was only about 15 which is about what my 911E did.
I was a bit concerned at this I thought it should be better than that. So I started crawling underneath looking for leaks. I didn't find any.
It was only later that I had one of those wonder if moments and looked at the receipt and I realised that I had used the cost rather than the litres and it was actually a more reasonable 26mpg.
Really I was only doing this to see if I can rely on the fuel gauge which I should have believed as it was right.

Finished the car prep for the forthcoming Euro trip

Just need to print some documents now to avoid the slapped wrists (someone…) got last time out.

Never had one with this tank

I fitted the big tank many years back and never got around to buying a collapsible spare.
Can of ‘fix a flat’ and a pump is the plan now.

I have a few Boxster spare wheels (the super narrow ones) if you want one Gary

Run up the road (the first for 6 months sadly) and then dropped the oil ready for a little project which I will cover in my resto thread
