Maybe.

It's being put in the transporter as we speak to be delivered to a DDKer. There's nothing like a thousand miles in a weekend to test the warranty. :shock:
I'm currently in HK on my way back to blighty. According to Mrs Ridgway who has taken delivery, the 993 looks "alright" :roll:

Friday should prove interesting, I think me and the 993 will start well, but I suspect as jet lag kicks in at about 4pm I'll go down first!

We'll be inviting suggestions of names as cars need names really!

Strange route back from Manila?
I've been back here for nearly 4 weeks and STILL get up at strange hours of the day. Best of luck and stay awake!

Be good to meet you Mick on the tour! I usually use HK as the timings seem better and the (BA) flights slightly cheaper.

slight change of plan on the Sunday for the vineyard trip, in that we are now planning to arrive at 4pm as this allows us to have an english speaking guide .

The upside of this is we have more time on the Sunday to enjoy the Nurburgring, it's viewing points & the surrounding area 8)


Also, there will be a slight variation to the route heading to the vineyard ... basically if you find yourself on a dirt track surrounded by vines, it means you have followed the route guide precisely ...... unfortunately it also means it is probably best if you turn around & find a tarmac road :lol:
