Been meaning to post these for a while. PCGB 60th Anniversary trip last September from UK to Spa Francachamps circuit in Belgium, to Hockenheimring Porsche Experience Centre then on to Stuttgart, Porsche factory and museum tours and gala dinner in museum, then on to Innsbruck via RUF factory, over the alps and Timmelsjoch high alpine road, down past Lake Garda and on to Brescia, northern Italy and a day at the Porsche Experience Centre, then head home via Chamonix to UK. Approx. 3,000 miles. Epic trip, highly recommended to anyone that can do this.

Default Gt3 rear sway bar and Antigravity battery

Replaced battery with lithium Antigravity battery and installed GT3 rear sway bar. Initially set sway bar to medium but that was way to stiff. Set sway bar to soft and it is stiffer than stock and much better than medium.

Track and street ready

Looks like we were at the Factory and Museum on the same day last year! I took the photos below of the PCGB group. That trip sounds like it was a lot of fun!

Decided it was time to get out and enjoy the sunny weather with @Elliotw44 last weekend. Clocked 300+ miles driving around Mt Rainier, WA, making it the longest day drive I've done in my 997. Put the car through its paces and it performed beautifully.
