Ronan, great place to drive a Porsche isn't it, glad you are enjoying it.

If you end up on the bad side with the Gendarm (sp) in France let them know you are Canadian, it worked for me. I used my bad Quebec French and they let me go on my merry way.

I sent mine over to have work done on it 4 years ago and enjoyed driving it so much that I leave it at Ruf now.

Greetings from Menton, on the French Riviera between Monaco and Italy.

Ciao for now.

Hey Ronan...I was in Tobermory Saturday past with Bill Walpole of Rogers up here in Owen Sound, and Clive Young (Iceman) from Cambridge. We represented the Germans well at the car show. I heard you flew the new green machine to Europe...ENJOY!

Cheers!

Ronan, you're my hero.. Can we hang out when you get back home?

Wow... talk about livin...

The only time I ever had a rear engine powered vehicle on the autobahn, I was in a VW bus, hippie styles, going 60 kms with it pegged to the floor.. What a let-down.

Yesterday poured rain and it looked bad, so I did the sensible thing and too an afternoon nap!..when I woke up it was suny again and the track had dried out. Did 8 more laps. It takes forever to learn the track so best to concentrate on ne r two things that need to be improved on each trip. I have a superb video from my instructor showing the proper line so watch it every day.
