Last summer, my youngest and I had a lovely run to Switzerland in the trusty 993.
Precious time together, and the car was perfect.

Neuchatel. Hotel was quite nice:

Looking forward to being able to do that sort of thing again, sometime soon-ish.
Stay well, look after yourselves.

LMC 2018, outside the garage at Teloché where Porsche prepared their factory Le Mans entries from 1951 to 1981.

Some great period footage of the Spyders in the garage at Teloché, then convoying to the track can be seen 10 minutes 26 seconds into the following film:

Yes, we were blessed with some fabulous weather (apart from the horrendous rain on the way up - & again on the way home !)

Bugger eh. Was at Cumbernauld IIRC.

My only speeding ticket was in Scotland. Dundee. The Rozzers are mustard up there.

Don't much like convoy runs, so our road trips are just us.
Switzerland and Austria are memorable but all good.
