Porsche Glasgow

[Homer]

Anyone been down to Porsche Glasgow (Braehead)? I drove past today and what a collection they have sitting in the show room, 911 Safari, 917, 911 gt1, RS syder, 962 a group 5 911 (cant remember what model these were), and a few others could only drive by today but will be paying them a visit tomorrow to have a proper nosey and will get a few pictures

I passed the garage on the way to Braehead as well. Looked impressive even from roadside. I meant to go back after a visit to the shops but ran out of time.

Dropped in today, an impressive display indeed! Whilst I agree with philthy that the GT2 RS was , I was in awe of the 917. Its tiny! To think these things had 700+ BHP and would exceed 200mph at Le Mans is testament to the skills and cojones of the guys who raced them.

I popped in yesterday to have a look - some very nice cars. The GT2 RS was stunning.

Might of been my Elise you saw (black 06 plate)? Must admit I've been a bit of a stranger to SE since getting it - must get my act together and make some of the runs in future!

Cheers,
Mike.

was indeed, I was in the evo so doubt you would have thought I was off here!

That one had about 630bhp and did about 220mph on the mulsanne at Le Mans (that's a 1970 spec 917K, bought new and still owned by Derek Piper in 69, converted to the K body in '70). Later developments in US Can Am racing (with a couple of turbos) went way over 700bhp - they actually had about 1100 at full boost.

Just because I know several folk will have been waiting for me to wade in with my furry hood bristling - I have a thing about the 917.
