Hi all

Apparently yesterday was Drive your 356 Day, so a mate and I went for a short spin after a cafe breakfast. Scott had his young son with him and I had a old mate who was in town for a few days come along. Good morning had by all...

Sorry about that simon! I just had it adjusted to 10 minute sessions. It was set for 3 minutes before. Hope this helps! Justin

Simon,

Looks like you are UK based? The reg numbers are not that clear to read. Was that another 356 in the background by that observatory?? Both cars look nice, I was out in mine as well but didn't know it was a dypday.

My son told me last week he saw four 356 cars driving past him on the same day but we do live 10 minutes drive from Goodwood and it was the 'revival' last week.

The car park there is often as interesting as the racing

Hi Roy.

No I'm in Canberra, Australia

Was just the two of us out on the day. Half your luck being near Goodwood! That would be great fun to see.

We're a bit isolated here in Canberra. There has been a growing number of younger (relative lol) early 911 drivers here, and we've been knocking around with them every few weeks. But it was great to just drive the two 356s on the weekend. They do look so cool together.

Also frustrating is the lack of 356 specialists in the region. That is to say, there are none Closest is 3 hrs drive away, which makes getting minor work taken care of, or good advice, rather problematic... Both our cars had their little niggles - mine, the Heron Grey B - has a leaking muffler/ or loose baffle, which is bizzing away most annoyingly, and the other car - the red C - is leaking oil from the left rear hub.

Fortunately neither fail to proceed, and a good day out was had

Cheers
Simon
