ANF Posted 20August, 2017 Report Share Posted 20August, 2017 (edited) Porsche club of Tassie economy run from Campbell Town to Swansea today. The 928 "won" the award for most fuel used I must have been a bit confused as I caught 3 cars... The drive home down the east coast was a blast too!

Andy73 Posted 25August, 2017 Report Share Posted 25August, 2017 After a morning trip to Eltham decided a sneaky afternoon run was in order. Turned into quite the epic! Eltham > Kangaroo Ground > Panton Hill > Kinglake > Healesville (via Kinglake Healesville Road) > Marysville > Lake Mountain > Reefton > Warburton > Seville > Monbulk > Tecoma...Knackered but a great afternoon of driving. Pretty much had the roads to myself. Have to say, on the rare occasion that you get a clean run through the Black Spur it's a stunning piece of black top.

Airhead Posted 27August, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 27August, 2017 3.2 Carrera (and a Benz) to the German car day in Melbourne. Few other PFAers there. No pics as my camera had a non functioning day. Anyone know where I can get a Nikon D40 serviced?For those that didn't stay the award for the best Porsche went to the black 914. Go figure.

Philbee Posted 1September, 2017 Report Share Posted 1September, 2017 Have a week off....Went for a spin up wellington rd on tuesday (the sun was out!) into them thar hills for a casual cruise around olinda, emerald, sassafras.... got cruising on the big sweeping turns (100 zone) before the foresty twisty sections and was behind 2 cars sitting on 90. Hmmm, will I blast past or sit and cruise? There was a big commodore cruising behind me, so I thought I'd sit quiet & not display the "ugly rich porsche hoon" look. A passing lane came up and the 2nd car took off. I sat back behind car #1. Not sure why but felt edgey about the commodore. We slowed (60 zone) and worked our way into olinda... or was that sassafras? Anyway, cruising through the township, big cop shop on the left, commodore pulls in. Unmarked police car! (or off duty cop)Bullet dodged me thinks... symsy, Harvs11, Scott930 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT Posted 2September, 2017 Report Share Posted 2September, 2017 Drove the 928 GTS to work yesterday after finally replacing the flat battery - has been maybe 6 weeks! What a f'n awesome car.

Niko Posted 2September, 2017 Report Share Posted 2September, 2017 Hadn't driven my BBC (BEWDIFUL BLACK CAYMAN..Don't be getting confused there you blokes)for about 7 or 8 weeks, so I had to scratch that itch.Decided to head off to the Island. Wasn't long before all the flat spots were out of the tyres, and that flat 6 was humming. (Stick your 4cyl turbos.)I again realised how much in love I am with this thing. (NOTE TO SELF..... I have to get this thing out more often) Had a chat and a great coffee at the Viet Vets Museum.Then took advantage of the Island and weather and took a heap of photos of my Croc. Now I am going to bore the crap out of you with some of my self indulgent shots. Some Great places down there for photos.My two big passions, driving my BBC and taking photos of Porsches...doesn't get any better.Only downside of the drive is that the Bass Highway is a disgrace. Pot holes everywhere. But they have done the "right thing" by painting yellow squares around them so at least you have a sporting chance of missing them.
