Retro-Pimp my Orange

August 22, 2010

Life is pretty good at the minute. Freelance has got off to a great start; my little magazine and internet content company – Mighty Proton Media – is doing a good job for its clients, and earning this blogger a bit more than I was making as a salaried employee. It’s also giving me a [...]

The Grand Porsche Tour Continues

July 7, 2010

Today was the last day in Monaco for the 2010 RGruppe Bergmeister Tour. With no group plan for the day, I was up at 7.30 and out in the Orange 911 Carrera 3.0, to repeat yesterday’s drive up the Col De Turini, and the amazing road from Turini to Sospel. Col de Turini is the [...]

Today at Tuthill Porsche

March 26, 2010

My orange 1976 911 Carrera 3.0 is due for an MOT, but there’s been play in the steering rack for a while now. As I am exceedingly time poor at the minute, I dropped the car down to Tuthills at lunchtime to get them to do it. I hadn’t run the car since August 14th [...]
