I'm not a fan of Porsche's current models, but these older 911's just have so much character and charm about them.

The Porsche. It's the same model that Sully drives in Commando.

Unlike the charmless nerks that drive 'em!

I slowed down sharply to an almost sensible speed on a country lane, because of pedestrians on the oncoming carriageway.

Black 911 (G model) shoots past me, causing them to jump out the way.

Twatty c unt.

I was out and about today and I saw this lovely old Porsche parked up so I couldn't resist taking a couple of quick photos.



Actually, that is practically the Perfect 911, with the slightly widened arches & the Fuchs wheels. And no bits of railway to destroy the proprtions. Aubergine was a great colour, as was Knallorange.

Parking it next to an AC Ace/Dumb/whatever only shows how beutifully compact they used to be too!

When you compare the current range of 911's to that old Carrera, it just goes to show how fat the current crop of cars really are

So this afternoon we did a very quick bit of detailing on the car. Firstly for a car circa 25 years old the paintwork is in really good nick, especially as the car hasn't really moved in 2 years.

The boot lid is easily in the worst condition.




So we got busy using AG products only so it was :

AG Paint Renovator
AG Super Resin Polish
AG Extra Gloss Shine





It actually came up really quite well I like to think...

Exactly what AG's good at; removing oxidation, etc.

I use it on the lid of my kettle barbeque, which oxidises quite badly.

all tdi owners should take a test

Q: Is your car really fast?

A: No - you can go
Yes - 1 hollowpoint bullet sent at high velocity into either eye from a frontal direction. Just to see if anthing comes out the back

we've got a DTi.. it's good for cheap miles.

to me Aston make by far the coolest looking cars currently.
