Cars are looking great. Pilgrimage of exotic metal to Le Mans always a spectacle. Will enjoy following this thread. Have a great time.

Alignment booked for this morning. It was quite out of spec. And the track rods were seized solid. Waiting on a reply from my local Porsche bitties place to see if they have anything in stock and I'll maybe be able to get it sorted today. If not? Fụck it, it'll only cost me a pair of tyres.

Safely here at the hotel in Honfleur. Turns out I should have booked a room in advance. Oops. Luckily they had a spare one…

I had to join Vimeo to see this again but was pleased that logging on via google didn’t require me to pay.
It is a lovely reminder of the good time we had

I miss those times
Have fun everyone
