Sorry to hear about the problems Greg - Good luck.

Is the pic of the coffee plantation 'train' tractor?

Top marks Greg and Graham - it is indeed the Coffee Tractor!!! I think it was my favourite Porsche of the festival.

Greg - sorry to hear of your problems. Tognola are very near you if your man can't help. I also had a 'mare on the way back - the old stuttering / jerking problem returned with vengeance (I thought the throttle cam repair had fixed it).Took her into Northway yesterday - they swapped the MAF with a stock car and she runs fine now. So I guess it's a new MAF for me (though Autofarm put one in 2 years ago) - should be fitted on Saturday. With my rally to Monte-Carlo next weekend I was starting to consider hiring a car. Fingers crossed please!

They don't (although you can get them fitted) but I think lots of people call the stock air flow meter MAF. I had a similar hesitation problem and mine was also the air flow sensor - neatly solved when you spent ££££££££'s on yours, didn't need your air flow sensor and gave it to me.

Sure I still owe you a beer for that.

Colin, I have a poor quality (visually) clip of your car over the finish/start line on the other side of the pits......it actually sounds a bit like a frikking NASCAR.... I'll send it to you.....the noise is quite clear as you pass.....

Or, he could just chuck you the keys the next time you visit. Sure you'd oblige to do a quick drive past?

Yeah....well you don't know Colin as well as I do He looked visibly relieved when I started crying because his car only had the one seat in it (and I hadn't thought any further than a passenger ride). Ha ha.....but yeah, would be happy to do a drive-by....
