Oh, and if you look on the back of the glove box lid you'll find a description of the heater controls. Don't worry, you still won't be able to get a comfortable temperature, but at least you'll know what each knob is meant to do.

:D:D:D

What's that film with Charlie Sheen in. Lots of 80's 911's in it? Love them, especially the ones from that era.

No mans land, that's the one! Guards red, black wheels! Mmmmmm

Cheers Suba, happy to help

Thanks Brewster, I had a look at that and the handbook and had to laugh, it's such a complicated system.

I haven't had chance to take my own pics, so here are a few from the advert -

I removed the 80's heating supercomputer stowed between the seats behind the handbrake on my 1982 SC and replaced it with a set of 70's levers to manually control the flapper boxes. The flappers do rust though and need replacing every few years.

It may be that yours are stuck shut. You can sometimes free them off with WD40 and brute force. You will smell the atomised WD40 in the cabin for the next few weeks though. Just consider it a real man's cologne.

Congrats on the purchase. They do get under your skin like no other car I know.

i do love the older porkers over the new ones

That is quite lovely. Even if it doesnt move from your driveway that is simply a work of art.

And yes, red braces and champagne all round

Congrats on the purchase Dave. Look forward to seeing it soon.

Cracker, I have a Porsche itch now and have been test driving a few 2003-2005 911's
But this is stunning

First track outing for the 911 on Monday, after it has been away for some months having all the chassis and structural corrosion taken care of.
My 3.2 is completely standard in ever respect and at 191,000 miles is not exactly new, despite this it performed well with a leaky hose to the oil cooler the only issue. As some of you know I tend to enjoy a bit of oversteer on trackdays but with no LSD I wasn't hopeful, but actually lifting off into the corner to tighten the line followed by a good boot full of throttle did give a little bit of tail wagging. It's certainly different from the Caterhams and Elise I usually drive.

Video here

I spotted a guy taking photos and politely asked if he could take one or two of mine in return for a donation (which he refused until I asked repeatedly ), These are the results which I'm really pleased with, they don't show how dirty the car was either.

Had a good chat with the Skyline owner, who has driven at Keevil as often as me. He has more power and torque, plus a few suspension and brake mods and a cage. Despite the Skyline being stripped I suspect his car may be heavier than mine? Good polite fun.

Cheers, Dave

Looks like a lot of fun Dave - you dont see many classic 911's on track.

I'm due to go to Silverstone next weekend if you want to come along (Bank Holiday Monday). RX7 needs new clutch (parts on the way from Aus), and the Indy needs an engine put back in....not sure which will be ready in time yet!!

Looks great, Dave. I spotted it through YouTube before I saw it on here, and noticed that you were getting the back to step out quite a bit

Looks lively that Porka Dave. What happened to the video cutting after you overtook the Skyline? Did we miss anything?

Nothing missed, after another half a lap I did a cool down lap. All other runs through the day I had passengers so had a seat in the way of the camera, a pity as it was even more fun in the wet later

Thanks Suba, I might take you up on that. A lot depends on whether I am racing at Combe on Monday. I am testing a friends Civic Type R on Friday and if he decides to enter the 90 minute race will be sharing the race. Racing against Matt Neal
