The 'Maverick' Classic Porsche Forum and Classic Porsche Club for Porsche 356, Aircooled Porsche 911, Porsche 912, Porsche 914 & Porsche Replicas. 'We join for the cars but stay for the people'
Managed to fit in a lovely run up to the North Norfolk coast yesterday to let the 356 stretch its legs after coming out of ‘winter hibernation’, and it developed a slightly blowing exhaust on the way up there. Unfortunately on the way back it got even worse, so today has been spent diagnosing the issue and trying to get things sorted before our planned event next weekend. Luckily it wasn’t a split/blown silencer () and only a gasket. New ones one the way courtesy of Paul and the team at PRS.
Also took the opportunity to check the valve clearances whilst having easy access, and all good. Just need an oil & filter change now and she’ll be all set for a summer of fun () IMG_6021 by Vee Racer, on Flickr IMG_6040 by Vee Racer, on Flickr IMG_6043 by Vee Racer, on Flickr IMG_6045 by Vee Racer, on Flickr
Lovely morning out with the local ‘Porsche Drivers Norfolk’ group to Bure Vally Classics. Lots of great examples of classic machinery, enjoying the Norfolk sunshine. The 356 didn’t look out of place, even if I do say so myself.

I was 1.5s off my best set 2 years ago Graham - you just have to accept the conditions as they are (especially silly the rain at first practice)
Sorry I could t chat earlier - had a scrutineering embarrassment which nearly set me off to Demon Tweaks in the motorhome but luckily was saved by the help of my co-competitors. Catch up tomorrow!

Dusted off the cobwebs and gave the ST a blast for the 1st time in 9 months. All ready for a run out to the Classics at the clubhouse show on Sunday.
