40 yrs of 911

[Steve Pyro]

He told me that all the kids in the area knew the COMMER.

From the outside or the inside ?

[gibberish]

Damn  I will be stuck in the office in London all day. Not about on Wednesday or Thursday by any chance?

[Mr. Rick]

Maybe they are all like that in Lincolnshire...

Only the real locals are ..... us "imports" are quite normal. Moved to Lincolnshire 5 years ago and not showing any signs of calling anyone "me doock" yet - give me time though. I'm originally Kentish me, well something sounding like that anyway!

[Steve Pyro]

You could be like me and come from Luton.
I had to run away to sea to avoid the stigma

I love to see cars of this era seriously sideways at a corner.  I'm afraid new tyre and suspension technology has a lot to answer for!

[Andy Zarse]

I agree Steve. A surfeit of power over grip has a lot to recommend it as a spectacle.

Sounds like the Commer!  

[Andy Zarse]

No! Nothing on earth sounds like the Commer. It has a wheezing and rattling sound all to it's self. Except perhaps for the awkwardly named sponsors of the yellow 911 above, who seem to be called Stateo Fart. Or are my eyes playing tricks again?

[hgb]

Oh no,  you're reading it wrongly, the pictures aren't sharp enough. It doesn't read Stateo Fart, the sponsor is State o' Fart. I know it, I stood beside the car.  

[Matt Harper]

Nice pics! The vette isn't nearly sideways enough though - obviously saving his (skinny) tyres. Good stuff - always nice to see street cars toughing it out.
