It's a Fair Mile

 Sorry to my legions (legions, I tell ya!) of fans for the radio silence recently - nothing to panic about, just a long holiday and nothing hugely exciting happening.

I popped over to the Fairmile meet in Cobham on a glorious Wednesday evening - this meet is once a month but gets a bit samey, so I spread my visits out. This evening was a 'green Porsche' special:

I like the private plates - some are very inventive but this is possibly one of the best:

Finally also found a car in worse condition than Barry - and I like his new badge:

Lots of other beauties:

Including this £1m+ 918, driven by a young TikTokker (my son tells me) who married a rich songwriter and just buys cars and makes videos on them. He certainly can't drive - he had to be helped by marshalls to reverse the car. But it is a beauty:

Although obvs not as beautiful as Barry:

This weekend is a biggie - major surgery to replace both knees and hips. Not me (although might be a good idea) but Barry - replacing all the shocks and springs. I've previously mentioned the waywardness at the limit on twisty roads and with 106k miles, the original shocks must be knackered and would explain the dodgy handling, so replacements are due.

I've bought all the parts (£1700) and Cearth has kindly offered his garage and expertise (he has done this before on his Boxster). I'm very worried about this - watching the YT videos on the process, it isn't simple, although Cearth seems to think nothing of it - he reckons it will only take a day but I'll be amazed if that happens - we shall see....
