Nearly done with the preparation for the technical inspection this Thursday.
Cant wait to drive this car again.
This year is the 50th year of the 924, any special celebration events planned in USA or in any other place on this ball?

Amelia Island show is coming up, a big classic car event, and the 924 is supposed to get some good exposure... makes me wish I could go down for it, but of course I'm off in England at the same time and will miss it all...
But there should be some good feeds on the socials about it, from Hagerty and such... _________________ Vaughan Scott

My Endurance race team was called Fifty Plus Racing back in the 1990s because all the drivers were over fifty years old. My business is called Fifty Plus Cars LLC because I only work on the older Porsche engines. The numbers on my race car are 50 with a little Plus sign (+) beside them.  _________________ 1979 924 NA race car H-Prod SCCA

Every year I see a huge amount of promotion material from the Bosch test track at Boxberg when they have a giant classic car rallye - cars parading around the high speed oval, across the skidpad, touring the facility, all that.
And then I look at our mediocre little test track here in the States, where we're barely allowed to take our personal cars out of the parking lot without getting some side-eye, and they refuse to let us do any testing of our own race cars - though they'll let out the facility to Formula SAE with untrained drivers - and blame the lawyers for it all...
But if you're close enough, check out the Boxberg Klassik Rallye!!! 27-28 June:

As for today, the local PCA meets are having a swap meet at a race shop/storage facility... lots of cool things there in storage, including a couple of old CanAm cars and a 906 I think... so will drop in with the 931, see how many other non-SUV P-cars show up... _________________ Vaughan Scott
