C2 meets Turbo

Festival of Porsche at Brands Hatch

...hats off to Porsche Club GB for throwing one of the best, if not the best, Porsche events of the year. Everything from the 356 to the 918, on-track action to off-track gawping - thousands of Porsche owners from all over the country displaying their prides and joy at the legendary Brands Hatch. We had never seen so many Porsches in one place - it was truly epic! And it was Turbo heaven as the festival coincided with 40 years of the 911 Turbo. I convoyed down with Jamie and Rupert (who have almost identical 997s by the way) and had my older brother Salve riding by my side. Great day all round - and we'll never forget the Porsche Owners' Parade Lap - the sun was setting and everyone was in high spirits, which made for a truly magical moment as we drove around the track with hundreds of other enthusiasts. We loved it so much we all decided to become PCGB members - looking forward to see what that brings!

Thanks Salve for the pics.

New pipes!

Porsche offer a Motor Sound Package for 993s, which consist of the drilled out air filter and the big oval exhaust tips (normally seen on Turbos) for a richer and sportier sound. I already had the air filter so it was only a matter of time until I indulged in a pair of Big Ovals! They really do help enhance the sound - a bit more 'gurgle' to add to the already deep raspy tones of the RSR mufflers and 200-cell high flow sports cats. Thanks Gert for all the bits. She sounds perfect now. 

All very 60s...

...a Ferdinard "Ferry" Porsche 356 Coupe parked outside a Peter Foggo and David Thomas 'H-House'. (Not that Aurelia was interested!)

Ps. Very nice to meet George, the proud owner of both. Sadly the 356 was in the process of being sold.
