2024 With Our 911
Posted on Nov 07, 2024
Here we are with another, now apparently, annual 911 RX update.
Looks like another year of parking lot activity and one competitive outing for the car. Well, it is 40 years old this year! Although the poor thing did start its birthday year by being used as a table:
Although its first weekend outing of the year was an epic, taking in an amazing four cars & coffee events! How many 40 year old classics could pull that off?
Needless to say, it needed a rest after this. Later in the year it got a new playmate. Our 944 Turbo race car which we wrapped to match.
Its next official engagement was the Woodward Dream Cruise where it was joined by this esteemed group of cars.
We did have to do some work on the car this year. It needed a replacement fan/alternator belt and the front blower motor burnt out too. Easy fixes though.
The car also got invited to the Northville Concours d'Elegance this year. Alas, it didn't win but was very popular.
It also starred in a photoshoot by the lake with @nhpstudio. His camera was older than the car!
The car did get to stretch its legs this year however, though it was never meant to. Our 944 Turbo refused to cooperate when we asked it to get in the trailer to go to the Empire Hill Climb so the 911 was called into duty. It was more than happy to oblige and even broke its PB from last year
Plans for the off season include replacing some aging fuel lines, tidying up some of the wrap that is showing its age and maybe tidying up some wiring. Stay tuned. If we get bored, we may drop the engine and replace the fuel lines through the tunnel!
