Heck Gary, I don't crash that much

I have never competed at Shelsley, but have been driven up it as a friend lives in the house at the top of it. Bloody steep, so if you lift off in any of the lower turns it really kills your time.

I have a new hillclimb steed for 2015. It still has 6 cylinders, but thet're at the opposite end of the car




Has a nice set of Webers mind you



But the Z is still in reserve, in case I want to be a hooligan

 

Lol never seen you crash yet Mike. Thats a very nice 911 but I thought you were looking at an Italian racer or have you both?

 

I was actually looking at the Delta Integrale Evo2 that was on Wheeler Dealers Trading Up last night, but the 911 came along and I decided to go with what I know.

It's a 1981 SC Backdate to. 73 RS, with a slightly tweeked 3 litre unit. I belonged to Andrew Frankel, the former editor of Motorsport mag, goes like stink and sounds rather sonorous with the sports exhaust.......makes the Z sound rather mellow !!

 

Had to google it Mike and yes thats an awesome 911 Good luck next year and hope to see you tearing up the tarmac in the new toy.
