A blast from the past

[Peter Empson]

Hi Paul, I was just reading the Rutland thread and would like to come, I am hoping to get the white car out of hibernation on that Sunday if I can, if it runs and if the weather is good (who'd have thought it would become a garage queen) then it'd be great to give it a run up.

what have you been feeding the front of that car - steroids?!

Mostly just dead bugs (it's not exactly aerodynamic!)

Now I am even more upset I can't come. Would love to have seen that one in the flesh. Oh I guess I will just have to settle for Mike's Pics.

Just had a closer look - you've sneaked an intercooler in there!

How is the supercharger going?

Enjoyed the vids

Thanks David. It's a real hoot to drive, and I'm really at the start of the process still. Lots more still to be done, it needs to be professionally mapped for a start and ultimately the engine replacing (which was rather tired even before SCing). Unfortunately I got quite badly shafted by a business partner a few years back so it had to go on the back burner, but time permitting I hope to get a bit more done this year and get to drive it more often (probably only managed about 300 miles last year).

Did you guys get any video of what looks like a recent trackday?

 

[944Turbo]

Thats probably about 9 years ago! I have got a big backlog of videos I have been meaning to edit and upload. I have a wizzy PC at work now, just haven't found the time - sorry!

Was that Croft?

Yes, that was the day you drove 4 hours from Glasgow, Frenchy drove 3 hours from the Lakes and Tony about 5 hours from the south coast

4th July 2001 according to the date stamp on some of my pictures [] God we're old!

 

[Diver944]

and here's a poor pic of the genuine 968 Turbo that was there that day [8D]

How about pictures of the Lake District jaunt?

Those were the (Titanic) days

Just had quick look at old Titanic list and wonder how many still have 944's

I remember on the way to Croft there were a few of us in a layby and in came a Traffic cop. He said he was going to do me for the tyres (pointing to the MPSC's in the boot)
