I can remember, vividly, the first 928 I ever saw. I'd seen pictures of them - the glossy ads on the back cover of the Sunday Times magazine - but not a real one. I was about 10 and we were on the M25. I was awestruck. The car looked like nothing else.

I honestly feel the Tacyan Cross Turismo/Sport Turismo is very much in the lineage of the 928.

Anyway, bikes... my Specialized LevoSL is a 29er. Is it my eyes, or is the Yeti 27.5? But yes, not much room at all really (bit longer than the 928) and I'd not throw the bike and gear in there were it muddy.

Yep, I remember the 928 coming out too - bedroom poster car for me. And you might be right about the Taycan too - a modern 928 would probably be a 2/3 door version of such.

As for bikes, that’s an XL-frame Yeti SB5.5 29er

Nice rig.

I am extremely fortunate that I, and (most of) the guys I ride with from village or nearby, don't need to drive to get to the trails. For me, I have literally just 10m or tarmac before my first option. Did 17 miles last night, with a quick pub stop and we don't even scratch a quarter of the potential trails/areas we have.

A salutary lesson for me recently of why I shouldn’t try to do rush jobs on my cars after a long, hard day at work. I thought changing the gas struts on my 987.1 Boxster would be a five minute job. It actually only took me four but my expertise with a screwdriver was clearly compromised.

Gas struts £30, respray for the wing £400.

A lesson painfully learned!

Is this a regular event or a one off?

This was a one-off, but if the pub like it (and they did), I suspect it might be a regular thing. I saw it on FB;
