Happy Xmas!

Post by 911hillclimber »

Just finished putting the decorations up today, and with The Day about a week away I am still struggling to get into the spirit of it all.

Thought i would send you all a card.

It has been a great year for us, the engine rebuild worked, the Lola was fab, the 911 is a dream, and we won the Class in the Midland Hill climb Championship, 5th time in 6 years.
I think next year will be the longest time I have hillclimbed the one car and this is the Lola, has cost a LOT but has returned so much over the last 13 years.
Wishing you all many happy times in 2023. :bigsmurf:

You are the first to comment!
Thought the detail had been lost.
No, engine and car remains the same as this year, done with all the work and cost over the last 30 years!
Hope you are well, and the car is getting closer.
