Great photos, i will get over there with you one year :roll:

Looks like you need those stiffer springs and maybe a stiffer rear anti-roll bar

Amateur question:

What sort of speeds do you get up to?

Have a look on here but the max I have noticed is down Schwedenkruez and Dottinger Hoe at 130 with the headlights up they work like an airdam and I cannot get any more speed out of the car

I think you are right Monty but that will need to wait - more pressing things to spend my money on - like petrol/food/bills :-)

Nice one Martin. Excellent vid, good to see some 911s being shown up but, as usual, there was some really fast stuff out there!

Wow - great video! I am always amazed at the 'ring. The darned track just keeps coming at you as if to never end!!!
