RE: Techno Classica: Porsche

Dave, I bet the guy with the RSR, if he's a true Petrolhead, would also drool at those Escort Mk ones and two's. I'm a big 911 fan but also love to see the old 'scorts racing at my local circuit (Knockhill), even if they're up against the carrera's I'll be cheering the Fordies on too. A Petrolhead is a man (or Lady) that has a passion for cars of all kinds and owns/runsl enjoys whatever he can afford.

Many years ago (1987 I think) I was manning the Ford RS Owner's Club stand at the Manchester Classic Car Show at G Mex. Opposite was a genuine 1974 911 RSR. The owner looked typically monied, with an attractive early forties wife (slim blonde in tall boots - I've always had a thing for slim blondes in tall boots, but that's for another kind of forum...)
Anyway - wonder if he's still got it?
Our stand? Signal yellow Mk2 RS2000 road car, vista orange Mk1 RS2000 road car and a BDG engined Group 4 RS.

If memory serves me right (and it usually doesn't...), it was '88. I was there as a 13 years old; a great show and I remember drooling over the RSs. May need to dig out pics. Have to be somewhere.Anyway - wonder if he's still got it?

You might be right, I have the RSOC magazine with that stand on the front cover so I can check quite easily.
BTW - the guy with the RSR was a good bloke, we had a quite a few chats over the weekend and yes, he did admire the RSs!
That's the thing with PH - if you went to a show there's a good chance a fellow PHer was there too!

That's the closest I can get to any form of bragging rights! RichardR said:
I'm lucky enough to have owned an identical 911 to this one for the past 35 years...
I think it's in the loft with the rest of my Scalextric stuff!
