Drove my Dad's 1975 911S from San Fran to Big Sur along the coast highway. Going to Rennsport this weekend.
1450 km in 3 days with 6 friends and 5 pre-bumpers around Liguria, Toscana and Lazio :)
Morning drive on Blue Ridge Parkway with stop at Peaks of Otter Lodge. Being retired in Lynchburg VA is GREAT. Just minutes to the Parkway vis another great smooth curvy road--US 501

Installed my fog lights with the yellow reflectors, very happy!

After discovering that yet again, after a long night time drive in fast, heavy traffic that the left side marker lights were not working, I inspected the appropriate fuse for that side of the car. Once again, as on several occasions before, I found that simply spinning the fuse in place brought the lights back on. Instead of leaving it at that, the thought suddenly occurred to me: how 'bout new fuses instead of trying to clean corrosion from the old ones? Aha! What a difference! Marker lights and turn signals are much brighter and remain lit no matter how I spin the fuse in place. After replacing nearly every wear item on the car, I had reused old fuses thinking a fuse is a fuse, right? Not so, when the new fuse ends are bright and shiny and very nicely conductive. And very inexpensive.
Raced my 71 911t at Rennsport yesterday.
And took my parents out in parade laps in Dad's 75 911S.
Outstanding Clarke!!!!!!!!!!!
Passed MOT, almost with flying colors. What a relief! Found out last night that the test has got stricter, so it got a bit hectic this morning. The next time this old girl needs an inspection, she will have passed 50 :-)
My brother also got his car approved thanks to spare parts in my stash. Lucky bastard!

Got home from Rennsport on Mon., on Tues needed to clean the six days off the car... and it wouldn't start.
My 65 month Interstates decided to give it up a day after I came home ....Good timing/thank you.... ;)
Looked at my records and they've been in for 81 months.....
Yesterday put in 2 new Interstates and hopefully will get another 81 months............ :)
