Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
We all, definitely, need to get out more.
Yes indeed, you are right.
I was hoping to be the first to comment before those faster than me did!
Chrome grills = silver screws, Black plastic grills - black screws.
Anyway, so what. far far x 10 nice car than mine!

Very kind comments guys, really looking forward to full scrutiny to ensure I get it right, sure there'll be loads more to go along with the incorrect "black screws..."

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
FFks sake. The car looks epic. And if you think Gary would have put the wrong screws on you don't know the OCD level of detail he puts in....
Cant wait to see the car in the flesh. Congrats Adam. Really fantastic result. And I know you're going to be sh1tting yourself all weekend . It gets better....

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Shouldn't they be blue screws on the front airdam?
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young but I'm just backdated yeah

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Gary screws the screws twice in one day. Is there no end to this sloppiness? Thanks for pointing that out. I'll have a word.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Great morning today, so took the 911T for a run, solo.
It has been about 14 years since it last came here to race, so a few memories!

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
I've just done possibly the dullest set of small jobs on the car, but driving it this morning was great!
- new door seals
- remount and fix wobbly mirror
- rebush gearshift coupler to stop annoying rattle at 4K
- get radio/iPod connection working again.
- adjust hand throttle so it does something.
- Fix various small oil leaks (nip up some bolts!)
- fit wheels that aren't cracked
- new rear brake discs that aren't warped
The worst part was applying some patina to the overly polished Fuchs I bought from James 914. I can only apologise to whoever spent days mirror polishing them for my ten minutes with a brass wire brush!
They still don't match the Moss refurbed pair, but will do for now.
So hopefully that's it, time to enjoy for the summer!

Such a post is no good without one of your calendar pics Gary!
