Hi all,

Returning as previous member of X5 drivers.
Found that to be very useful & informative forum but must congratulate everyone involved in setting up Xdrivers :)
Coming up 12 months since I bought my 55 reg Le Mans 3.0d & still loving it. Done 9k miles with no problems so far apart from aux heater playing up. Still need to sort it out before weather gets cold.
Also lucky owner of a Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Cabriolet :driving:

Regards, Phil.

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome.
Porky is 1988 model on F plate in Grand Prix White.
Fantastic car, had her for nearly 2 years now & she puts a smile on my face everytime I use her.
I will try & sort some pics of both although me & computors don't get on !

If I had a pound for everytime I've heard that :D
One of my mates ribs me all the time, that is until he tried to keep up with me up on the A686 upto Hartside cafe.
He was in his 4.5 Cerbera but could not keep up with my 911 on the twisties :driving:
Actually I quite like beetles as well but mine sounds nicer & goes a whole lot quicker :thumbsup:

Wasn't stuck in reverse but I must admit the lad isn't the quickest driver, although his real problem was traction out of the corners ( very twisty road & worth a trip if your over that way ) The Cerb would normally leave mine no problem on a straight (ish) road but round corners the 911 takes some beating ( rear engine & rear wheel drive )
That & the fact that I drive mine like it was meant to be driven ;) Now got sport back box on as well so once you hit 4000rpm it sounds fantastic ;)
I'm hoping to go to CITP at Harewood House tomorrow ( 12th Sept ) anyone going ?

GT3, Mmmm very nice.
One day maybe :)
