Porsche Racing History: Glasgow OPC

If you like Porsche its well worth paying a visit to Glasgow OPC at Braehead this weekend - my Christams list is now quite lengthy...
Thanks to John in parts for the personal guided tour and access to the collection in the workshop!

There are some pretty special road cars too!

Well you better cross off the 917, because I've already sent my letter to santa. Some lovely cars, and nice to see the battle scars of competition on them.

I took a wee run in this afternoon, great display, and the GT2RS

You can't see it too well in the phots but the 964 RSR in the workshop was stunning!! Never seen one in the flesh before - wow.

Thanks Alan. Popped in this afternoon for a look round - some very nice cars!

This was a lovely wee display. Really nice thing for Porsche to do.

The cars were all there for the launch of the GT2RS, which made me wonder … they’re all presold anyway, so the launch party on Friday night must have been purely for brand building purposes.

I have to say, the black/black GT2RS upstairs looked absolutely stunning. Much, much nicer than the white/grey/red ones in all the press photography.

I’ll be back there next weekend for a drive in a 356. I’m quite excited.

Did you arrive on Sunday about 2pm Poprock? Think i saw you coming in as i was leaving.

Good to meet John too, just a shame his smooth talking never got us into the workshop

Had she been less of a ginger giant I might have tried harder Oli, heehee
