heckschleuderer Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Finally I've managed the intricacies of the interwobble to get my password reset. I haven't been online here for over a year, but those who know me will have seen in other threads that I now own a 997 Wooshmobile. Lovely car and fast enough to see me in prison at a drop of a hat here in CH, still miss my old 3.2 Carrera though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it over here for the first year and then I took it back to the UK as it wouldn't have passed the Swiss MOT. It's now being driven by the father of the ex girlfriend. Still has an IB badge on the front and going strong the last I heard. 1 hour ago, Lesworth said: That Figaro will suit you- especially with that hair. Meaning what exactly? ?

VT As speeding is an absolute no no here, I usually stick on the cruise control at the speed limit, find the curviest narrow road and just hold on for dear life whilst not braking. For proper driving some of the remoter quiet alpine passes are ok, Germany and France are only 30-40 minutes away as well and naturally lots of fun are had on the Bernau led adventure tours.

I've driven mine for the first time today since the last RB adventure tour, driving in the UK is dull in comparison. I'd sooner drive 10 miles of Alpine roads than 1000 miles of UK roads Edited September 8, 2017 by World Citizen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckschleuderer Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Snow and clouds in the alps today, so decided that a bit of a gorge drive in the Jura mountains was in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
