oming out of lockdown was a relief for all of us classic car owners because it gave us the chance to do what we love again! There’s only so much car tinkering and cleaning and polishing (so dull) one can do. During lockdown I was invited to Porkers in the Peaks by Pigs Will Fly who I only know through Instagram but I thought “bugger it” their content is

always funny so its gotta be okay and I have never driven those roads and passes in my 928. So with July arriving there was a lot of excitement for this weekend and it didn’t disappoint. There were lots of classic and more modern Porsches, mainly 911s and a few others like a 914, supercharged 924, BMW 2002 and my 928. My car has recently had a big service and is running great and it rose to the challenge perfectly, the roads and company were amazing, the car was great and didn’t miss a beat whilst handling the curves perfectly.
The 928 is very happy on B roads, contrary to popular belief, as long as you have the right set up, a manual gear box and sports suspension helps this and a LSD. A lot of the cars were over 35 years old and its amazing how well they all did. We covered about 170 miles on the Saturday alone and a lot of high octane fuel. With all the excitement of the weekend in the Peaks over, my car covered in flies and mud has been making a few strange squeaks and noises, but I would as well
