Hi there

I've been enjoying your site for some time and thought I'd say hello.

I bought my first Porsche about 10 yrs ago - a conda green '70 targa which was fun, but developed engine problems. I couldn't face the rebuild cost, so sold that one. Next a '71 S, £10k for a rust bucket, sold it recently, unrestored :( next... a poo brown '74 - loved it as it only needed a polish to be enjoyed.
I currently own a '73T 'easy' resto, a 964 C4 - just in case there's ice! and a '69 912 restored by me - needs snagging but a great car with a 2.4 engine, soon to be 3.0 on webers. The cars are all in Norwich, and I have a young family, so little time to enjoy.

I'm a model maker by trade working in c. London.

Great website - many thanks

That's 'last fling', drum brakes all round, waving naked 70's mannequin, low and very fast. Closest I've come to motor racing, Murray Walker even did the commentary

Nice fleet, and welcome.

What sort of models do you make?

I work for a product design studio, making their designs of goods like sat nav's, phones, through to baby cots and coffee makers. Just cosmetic and mechanical, no electronics.

Incidentally Barry, we have a Tom Senior in our workshop, great little machines!

Thanks for the comments on the cars.
