Drove it like it was stolen. There is a section of the M8 heading to Greenock that just ask you to floor it. The Forth of Clyde, Dumbarton Rock and Argyll just makes the moment. My favourite section of motorway

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Finished a very truncated hillclimb season of 2020, good riddance.
Great day, perfect weather and some great cars.
The Lola went well except for the 3 pheasants that committed suicide using the Lola at some speed.
Scraping the feathers, blood and gristle off the nose. cracked the front section on a feathery impact, lost me the class win of course.

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Nope, Mr Fox's tea, the carcase was tossed into the bracken.
I nearly had 2 more about 50 meters further up the hill, they both stood on the edge of the track and watched me swerve past, their mate's feathers still in the air.
I should have been given another run, but that didn't happen.
It is the Big Shoot at the Park very soon, so maybe suicide is better than a gun?
A few others had the same distraction, but mine was the only hit.
2021 soon, and a better year. (

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
On Saturday lubed distributor. Sunday drove for 30 mins on to meet some friends for a walk. Make the mistake of commenting to Mrs B that the car was sounding super smooth. Made the mistake of leaving in R while we parked. Then the car ran really horrid on the way back home. I'm going to clean the idle jets. I've ordered new points and condenser just incase. If that doesn't solve it then I don't know.
