AND GOODMORNING TO EVERYBODY!!!
It is Friday again.

Tomorrow I'm going to the Porschedays in Spa, Francorchamps!!!
My mechanic friend invited me to his stand in the F1 pitboxes.
A day of looking at, smelling, hearing, breathing and touching Porsches!!!! And I suspect there will be a good deal of fine honeys as well....
The guy that invited me also races in Belcar races (formerly the Dunlop Endurance Cup) with a 2008 997 Supercup, and he is fast.
I'm hoping the car will be there as well this weekend (very likely) and maybe get to ride shotgun for a few laps!

Pic to follow
OK that is just mean to taunt us like that.
I am seriously jealous of you right now.

Many years ago I was at a track day at Road Atlanta. I got a ride in a genuine 911 RSR. I was convinced the driver was about to commit suicide as we approached the first corner. He was still accerlating when he should have been on the brakes. He hardly lifted and we made the corner and we started going even faster.

I had driven the track in the session before in my 1974 914 2.0 and the speed difference was mind blowing.

Have fun at the track tomorrow.

Pictures or ban!

Allo Allo, good morning boys!!
Weather is great here!!
Hope it will be as good tomorrow because I won't be going to Spa today, but tomorrow.
A ladyfriend wanted to go to a musicfestival close to where I live. And since she is my dearest ladyfriend, I said yes. Porschedays postponed for a day...

See Dick drive
See Dick die
Don't be a Dick

The second comes from Ozzy of all people
Wine is fine but whiskey is quicker, suicide is slow with liquor.


There is nothing wrong with drinking in moderation, but I can tell you from personal experience, it can become consuming (no pun intended) and some never get to learn the lessons, or learn them the hard way.
Sid, I know it is kinda surreal to think someone young that you know did that to themselves, but don't worry, you seem to have a good head on your shoulders, and it just goes to show, Darwin may not have been completely wrong.

I will miss the drive part. No way will I miss free Hideaway Pizza. Since I am the club treasurer I get to pay the tab.
