Just bumping to confirm that the address is in fact correct.

I will be going along early to get a set of 165s fitted and an alignment job done on the 12. A friend who lives locally will be bringing his ex-RAC Rally 1970 911ST along. Well worth a look.

 

[Mark_Bennett]

I' ve added some more information on this event in the 1st post (so that it is all in one place).

Expected to be a good turnout so it should be interesting!

Nick

Do you know who drove the car in 1970?

The reason I ask is that I shared a car with Bjorn Waldegaard on Sunday and I know he drove a 911S in 1969 and 1970.

I' m facinated by coincidences[]

 

[Nick Moss]

My typo error. Bjorn Waldegard/Lars Nystrom came 2nd on the RAC rally in this car in 1971

 

[Robbiemeister]

That' s bloody amazing, see you tonight!

PS Will be coming in my " rally" car, " race car" is being serviced.

Robbie gets to lean on the above mentioned car

 

[Nick Moss]

and Lucy the Labrador shows little interest in either the Elite Tyres boss' s 996 Turbo or a fanatastic Maseratit 28T (straight 8 supercharged)

 

[Nick Moss]

and my 912 gets a new set of tyres fitted

 

[Guest]

Looks like a good time was had by all Nick.

A big thank you to Richard and the crew at Elite for organising the day and to Michelin for being in the firing line!

As I didn' t make it due to being stuck at work did any one ask the all important question...." correct tyre pressures for a track 993 running PSC with Nitrogen fill?" - answers on a postcode!

 

[Nick Moss]

Yes the answer was given without the question being posed. If you are running road tyres a good point to start at is the standard pressures when the tyres are hot.

[Mark_Bennett]

Nick,

I forget - is it you with the Labrador and the backfiring 912?

If so, I now know what you look like!

 

[Nick Moss]

Why weren' t we wearing our Forum badge? Sorry

 

[Mark_Bennett]

Um.... Yes, that' s you....
