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

[neilbardsley]

Test tool and spares pack for the trip. I need to write a list to see that I forgot (or look at Mike's list)

Sounds epic

Fabulous !

It's great to hear that some 356's are still being used for trips like that.

Full report is expected of course.

Lot of miles, I'm sure we all wish you both a great experience.

That’s going to be epic, especially in the 356… I’m heading to Slovenia myself soon, specifically for driving Austrian / Italian and Slovenian mountain passes , but on limited number of days for the trip so don’t have the time to head down the Croatian coast so will be interested to see how you find it .
Not sure when you’re actually leaving, but are you going to try and do any of the passes on the way down like the grossglockner ( opens beg may )

Excellent
How long is that over?

[neilbardsley]

We are leaving soon so probably will miss the mountains this time. The journey through Northern Europe will be a bit hurried. We hope to have more time in Sicily

This morning I cleaned the idle jets and started the motor. It takes a while with the 356, when sitting for a bit, for the petrol to get to the carbs. This I don't mind as cranking the engine on the starter allows the oil to circulate.

However, it started quite quickly

Drove in the p155 wet rain with my mate in his 240z for a Cars and coffee on the streets of Harrogate . Nice eclectic mix of cars and some ice coffee shops

That Capri looks like the lesser spotted 1.6LS - a run off model with wide banded wheels and sporty tones but at sales rep prices. I tried to get my Dad to get one as a company car, but he stuck with a Cortina estate……

Looks like a good day out James

Pretty sure it was a 1.6ls … good spotting.

Needed help from the mrs to get the tinware finished and to be ignition key operator.

We got most of the engine electricals connected. Span the engine on the wosp starter for the first time. both worked really well.

Took a voltage reading. 12.25v dropping to 9v when cranking. the difference between old and new starter is night and day.

Going to pick up some tube tomorrow to make the replacement headers.
