Not Porsche related but is there a search function on "Collecting Cars"? I can't seem to find any and it's a bit much wading through everything.

Only just started to get into it and browse myself the other day, can't seem to find a search function either 🤔

I've had a few spins ion the Casyman R now and have to say it's pretty bloody good. Definitely as great B road car as owners keep going on about.

The 987 gen 1 engine has more character than the gen 2 though if that's ther right word. The gen 2 engine is smoother, more revvy and obviouly more modern design but it's quieter in cabin. You really need Porsche Sports Exhaust with a gen 2 IMO.

OK, good weather forecast this weekend --- get your Porsches out...

A group of us are meeting This Sunday, 9am sharpish at Sprucefield McDonald's car park.

Currently planning to do the Comber - Newtownards - Strangford - Newcastle - Kilkeel - Spelg Dam - Rostrevor - etc. circuit (but open to suggestions).

Looks like we have some air-cooled, GT4 and Cayman R in the mix already...

Brilliant idea AndyOz ! We will catch you on the next one though, can't do this Sunday. Your route looks ideal too.

Would love to, but Ards is a two hour drive for me before we'd even get going.

Enjoy!

Would love to but I'll be throwing mine round Kirkistown on Sunday!
Ok, we'll be passing mid morning so will drop in to watch a session. Always some interesting stuff turns up at Kirk.

^^^ Just checked with Trackskills and no spectators allowed so we'll just have a look from the boundary to see what's running.

The noise is phenomenal. A massive part of the reason why its my lottery win ultimate dream car😍 give me a GT3 over a GT2 any day of the week.

Obv so much nicer over the 991/992 standard turbo engine with an exhaust. But just didn't realise how much nicer. Real racey
