Hi Looks great fun.

A few photos and vids of my two (plus third) - edited further to the comment below.
The 924 S...
My first outing at Brands Hatch


At this was a day with Motorpunk at Donnington (film for Carfection)...


This was a second 924 S I had for a while, found while shopping for parts for the other (cost me £1k and was part ex'd for the one below)...


This is me and Ben, in his M535i (pictured in an earlier post), at Blyton...
MotorPunk Blyton Park Porsche 924 S and BMW M535i

And the SC...
Hooning around...


The SC at Bedford...
Porsche 911 SC at Bedford Autodrome 29 August 2014

I was interested to compare the 924 S that I knew very well and the SC, that was relatively new to me and I found slightly intimidating (924 S in picture)...

Distinct lack of action in many of the recent photos. There's another thread for general pics of your classic cars

I take my hat off to you, sir - this is one of my favourite cars to watch at the SMRC meetings (although I do also have a soft spot for the SD1 lurking behind you in that photo!).

The Escort has been a grand servant since being bought in 2006. The tyres are 185 x 13 Yokohama 048s rather than 205 x 13, half a second quicker around Knockhill. Thanks for the compliments.

Not really though here's a link to a thread on the TR register site from just after I picked the car up from the restorers.

Oh, go on then. Here's my Corvette kicking up dust in Kazakhstan, en route from the UK to singapore a few years ago...



And a few years further back, my trusty old '944, with some camels in Northern Kenya.



And finally, a Fiat 126. In the Arctic...

Just got my 308 GT4 back from it's service. It wasn't sunny, I didn't have the windows down and it was rush hour. But I still enjoyed every minute of the trip home. Freshly tuned the 3 litre V8 is tractable and sonorous in equal measure. With weight over the rear wheels and comparatively skinny tyres it remained sure footed in the heavy rain. The ride remained very composed over a variety of country roads and speed humped suburban avenues. I've never known a car with so much character while retaining such capability.

I could have replaced my daily driver with something twice the price for the cost of the service, but it's worth it.
