Re: Craziest motoring country?

Belgium. Probably, yeah! It's a strange one, as Italy is probably more crazy, but they can drive...whereas the Belgians seem to be shockingly bad at driving. Fun fact: in Belgium, you don't have to attend driving classes given by professionals. A family member can register as your tutor and as long...

Re: Where would you live?

I like my little Luxembourg, it's quite civilised and multicultural, safe and really rather pretty in an olde world kinda way. It doesn't have what one would call a vibrant big city vibe, which can get boring at times. But Paris is only a two and a half hours TGV ride away, London about an hour flig...

Drove the Stelvio. There's much better passes around there, but the box needed to be ticked.

Re: Your fleet running reports

Sold my 964 yesterday. Had it for 13 years and I'm not sure how I feel about not having an old 911 anymore. It needs an engine rebuild and one of the guys handling all my Porsche needs offered to buy it as he'd just sold his current daily driver 993 and I'd told him earlier this year I was toying wi...

Save over £40k! Bargain! First to see will buy (although they won’t own it - they will just be looking after it for the next generation)

There is no list, it's a gentle way of telling you to fuck off.

Re: Alain de Cadenet

I sat at his table at an event held around the Donington Historic Festival in 2014 (or was it 2015?). We talked Alfa Romeos for the best part of the evening. A true gentleman and a lovely bloke. Also at the same table was Mark Knopfler. I race an old Alfa Romeo and dabble in playing the guitar, so t...

Thanks for your replies. The consensus seems to be that one should put 25K CASH on the table and drive it home. Got it.

Re: A pint

As a continent dweller, I can confirm that the pint is the correct measure for beer.

I've met a few good ones, some of which have become close friends. There have been track days, weddings and other various benders. Good times.

Re: FECPOTY 2022 nomination thread

If it is allowed to nominate one's own, may I do so with the 991 R? Photos plus cold start and launch control 0-100mph video or it doesn't count 😉😁 That. You can’t just throw that info in without more detail! Not my photos, but here is #444: https://www.porscheregister.com/R0444#details
