got back safely last night. Vivienne and I had a really excellent time even if Vivienne is not really into cars, racing and porsche banter! So thanks to James and Brian for the organising and thanks to everyone for making two strangers welcome, in fact two strangers in a new fangled porsche!

Spa was really good, pretty much what I expected, but Nurburg was really amazing, I'd never even considered what it'd be like, fantastic.

Loved the wine tour especially the SEX, SEX, SEX bit 8)

Utterly brilliant. Here's to the next one!

Just arrived home safe and sound. We both had a truly fantastic time, not just the cars not just the roads not just the scenery but all the fantastic DDK'ers. The Mrs really enjoyed it when I think she may have thought it would be cars cars cars. Top banter bring the next one on.

A big thanks to James and Brian for organising the trip but a HUGE thanks to Mick Cliff for his generosity. The car was magic and it was a real bind to give it back. Mick liked the light ivory rear end I think he might be reluctant to wash all the dirt and bugs off her.

All I can say is bring on the next one.

Thanks James and Brian for yet another great trip. 1000 miles of 911 magic :) .
Good to meet up with you all, again for some of you and for the 1st time for others. As usual with DDK, the welcome and warmth is the same either way !!
Chris, the photo of the Targa is all the proof I need, can I have a copy please ?

Well they say the best trip is always the next one, but this one will take some beating – a classic :cheers:


Add weather ordered by the Porsche Gods to a fantastic lineup of 20+ cars, some superb organisation (thanks Brian and James) and bake for 4 days with a generous smothering of sometimes tear inducing craic definitely made a recipe for a memorable one 8)

The off from Zeebrugge in glorious sun that was to stay with us for the entire trip

Being followed by the best “lone car” I’ve ever seen – nice one Mick :salute:
