I've made a big effort for this weekend, and wire wooled one chrome front indicator ring.

Arrive at the hotel , had a walk around the nearby estate with my wife and about to have some beer and wine
Driving in the South is generally a terrible experience. Car looking fine though
Good luck to all for tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you guys at Boxengasse.

Met Otto from Slovakia checking out the cars in the hotel car park - he loved sitting inside the 911S
. He’s here meeting a motoring friend in Coventry.
And not only Pork in the car park. This Riley has just done a VSCC meet at Chateau Impney.

.
Got about 2/3 of the way there then had almost total brake loss !
Carried on for a short while as strangely the pedal had returned to normal ... only for the same thing to happen again several times.
Stopped & checked fluid reservoir but no drop in level so reluctantly decided to turn round & head back (cautiously) - few scary moments !
First thoughts are that the master cylinder seals have failed ...
Gutted not to have made it
.
