    Spring is in the air. So....one turn of the key!

    Last Saturday I took my Porsche out of 18 months of hibernation. One turn of the key and the buzzing of the pump was enough to get fuel to the back. One more turn and hey! The engine ran - like a dream. A trip to shake off the cobwebs and to heat up the engine was enough to spark my enthusiasm for this car. This 2.0 European specs car is soon quick and nimble.

    That's a big garage

    How do you keep the cobwebs at bay on the ceiling?

    Very nice car

    It's a pic of the workshop on Saturday morning. We just finished cleaning it; something that needs to be done every Saturday morning. I never thought about cobwebs on the ceiling. There aren't any! Cleaning would be a 'pita': the ceiling it too high to reach with a broom. There's a fire hazard warning way above our head. Sometimes we set it off when working on a car: exhaust fumes or welding. We need to raise the ramps, climb on and with an extended broom (broom + part fishing rod) we're able to press the 'off' switch

    Wow 18 months in hibernation.

    Nice looking motor and you don't see many of these on UK roads. I noticed a few classic near me made their first outings after the winter sleep.
