My car has been in at Brian Miller Motors (Porsche specialist in Edinburgh). I had asked him to do two things, change the clutch cable and fix the non working temp gauge. He did neither, as parts are unavailable or on back order. I had however left my “to do” list in the car, so he rattled through most of these instead. He fixed the inoperative dashboard lights, fixed the horn, the rear wiper motor, and the electric mirrors, all of which had electrical gremlins. He also traced the fault in the temp gauge to the sender, and ordered a new one. I have since found and ordered a clutch cable. The car is going back in 10 days time to fix the original two items, and for him to adjust the steering rack and re-set the CO and fuel mixture. Today’s bill was modest, and he also reckons I have a good and sound car. Brian certainly knows his way around a 924, and I would recomend him to anyone in Scotland with a 924. So not the result I planned, but a good outcome none the less.
Last night I drove to a Porsche Club meeting in Dundee in the 924, a good enough meeting , but the highlight of the meeting was the drive home. From the Tay Bridge to my house (about 20 miles) I had the road completely to myself, bar just one slower car which I easily passed. Pure magic!

Until a month or so ago my 924 had spent the last few years languishing unused and off the road, and even in the previous years it had done only minimal mileage. With every mile I put on it, it seems to be getting faster and sweeter, and it just flew home last night, a very satisfying drive.
