It's a great image for sure. I think he'd have missed it tho', esp as he drove home. C'mon Nick, that'll be a cool avatar pic

Looked like a great day out, hopefully next year I'll have something to take along to join in the fun.
Haha... I do look a bit worried! But he sure knows how to drive 'em as well as build 'em.
Next year Darren? There must be another to do this year!
Plenty of use on fast twisty roads, yes although don't think I have stomach to track the E straight off and sadly the 993 will soon be up for sale - I'll have to wait for my Mongrel, that's what it's being built for!

I know it's been talked about before but made me think again about a DDK Track Day
This should our annual DDK Treffen - how cool would that be!

I organised a DDK trackday many years ago up at Elvington. It was difficult to get enough people to commit . Think we ended up running it with around 20 cars.
Even the PCGB classic Porsche trackday at Silverstone struggled. Think its best to try & tag it on with another clubs trackday

Donnington used to track days with 3, 20 minute slots rotated over the day. A club could then book exclusive use of a 20 minute slot.
Might be an option ! or as James, PMJT and myself did many years ago, tagged along with others at a track day.

James, thought I remembered reading something about a DDK day in the past... and the PCGB days are too expensive, esp at Silverstone! The smaller circuits & events are more interesting to me.
Tim, that's probably the best way, maybe even block booking places... I'd be interested in going as a small group to the right day at the right place.
Will see what's coming up later this year

Great reportage Nigel. Some wonderful pics.
I'd have gone along but me and the noise police have previous at Castle Combe.
They seem to delight in enforcing the volumes and blocking your fun.
No point going on a 100db day, I'd never get on track.
Tis a shame because Richard's track days are generally very good.

Yes. I believe John sold it last year.
