Your Porsche pic of the day......

Post by matteo68 »

I met him and John Morrison at a G-Force open day at their unit in Rabans Lane, Aylesbury back in the early 2000s when I went along in my 993 C2 coupe. I found him extremely friendly and happy to share stories of his racing exploits.

The Blue Coral 935, GT1 and GT2 looked stunning too…

Watched him racing many times in the '80's - hugely entertaining !

Here's a picture I took of him (in the blue overalls) & his Dage Sport 935 K3 at Brands Hatch back in ~May '86

By complete chance our lunch place is covered with Porsche artwork. I think this is the best. This website appears to be down but he is on Instagram

I think 3000 pln is about £600? I already have a signed 907 photo (by Vic) so probably can't talk Mrs B into buying it

Thanks for the screen shot Gary.
The corner 'Fallow' is quite notorious as the approach if too hot can be tricky for car and driver. A pure '90 deg left' if there ever was one.
Your son might remember it!

The Lola drove really nicely and the chassis is just great as the picture shows (imho), a great geo set-up by McClurg Motorsport.

I was miles/light years off my pace but enough for two class winning runs.
Needs someone like Jonathan or Wayne to get the speed out of it!

A few seconds of the slowest run on Sunday:

Gathering the points though! :)
