I don't know if you're aware Sam but 911 HUL is a classic Porsche number plate, they've been putting it on Turbos since at least the 80's. It's like an iconic plate for us slightly older petrol heads. Very cool.

Parts of the old track are in a very bad shape due to land slides south of Cerda. The hills are like muddy ground and time has done its job. I guess the mafia does not earn as well from the country roads as from the main motorways where there are quite a number forever roadworks.

To be honest, the picture of the Porsche he has that looks to be busting through the wall of his bedroom is a GT3RS - Lava Orange. That said, he's knows what side his bread is buttered on and says he loves my 981 Boxster S but preferred my 987.2 Cayman S.

joepublic200 I don’t think that’s curb rash. The white line on the upper left matches the reflection on the onside of the rim on the lower right. And the black marks breaking up the edge on the lower left are most likely just tire whiskers. Those Pirelli tires - the fronts specifically - actually have a lip that protrudes quite a bit wider than the actual wheel which helps shield it from minor curb scrapes. In theory that is - I never tested it on mine.

Excellent start to the Euro leg. Lovely 911 Porsche UK have loaned you. Hats off to them. Great mix of content too. However as a Porsche owner and new Porsche fan, you ought to get into WEC where Porsche are really strong. Also, lots more happens in endurance racing than F1, which is definitely stagnating. Totally appreciate Vicki not wanting to appear on screen but her being with you adds a nice dimension to the adventure, it would be interesting to hear her views on the places you visit.

Funny to see you drive that part of the Le Mans course in a Porsche 911, since I just watched the 1971 film Le Mans last week for the first time, starring Steve McQueen who also drove a Porsche 911 down that very road at the beginning of the film, if I'm not mistaken.

(Romsdal, Eikesdal, Sunndal). The best "local tip" I can give, is that by far the best time to go there is in the middle of spring. In about 2 months time. (Last half of May or early June.) At that time the waterfalls are about double in both size and numbers, the valleys are green and the peaks white
