Chris,
No problems - will let you know when the next 'big' meet is.
The red 993 was absolutely mint - it only had 16k miles on the clock....... but then again it was bought for nearly £50k...

The arena red 993 turbo was also pretty nice

Yes - I thought the same too !
Boxster is great - not as charismatic sounding - but the OPC sports exhaust helps ALOT ! handling is like a dream !

If you ever fancy having a blast drop me a line.

The National event is at Eynsham Park (near Oxford apparently?) on 30/31 Aug.

I haven't had time to look at the piccies yet, but Arena red is an awful colour IMHO. A guy in the club in Devon & Cornwall has a a 993 Carrera 4S that colour and it looks far, far less attractive than a silver one someone else has.

Was a good one, 964 Turbo hadn't been out long, and the Alpine demo Countach with huge ICE install was nice to look at. Couple of lovely cars too, 356 Le Mans - guy even started it up and it sounded awesome. White 356 Speedster was probably my favourite.

Well, I dislike Guards red, but I do absolutely loathe metallic wine red on any car at any time, no exceptions.

How's the hairdresser's Porker?

I asked for that I suppose....

Great as well, although I'm getting quite excited about getting the Turbo back together again now.

Dave,

I'd love to, but that might be pushing it, especially when it'll need to be run in a bit etc. Anything similar later in the year? I have the Titanic trackday club emails but I haven't read them.
