Guess what I got for my Birthday...

Just got home from a pretty busy day today.

The National Porsche Club (Porsche Club GB) held their annual Christmas get-together today and I believed Trev was feeling a little guilty because it happened to be held on my birthday and I was OK with us going down there for a day out. Plus Trev has been apologising all day because 'the thing' he'd ordered for my birthday hadn't turned up.

We set out from home for a two hour journey on a miserable morning.

There was a Christmas market and I had a little money from my In-Laws to spend and if we had time, we'd pop in to see his 911SC that's being renovated.

With me so far?

So we went to the Porsche Club GB HQ and said hello to a few people we know. We had a coffee and a walk around the car park - I'm NOT kidding, there had to be 150+ Porsches there today (including Trev's Cayenne Turbo) - WHAT a turn-out!

Then, we strolled over to Rennsport where the 911SC is undergoing a bit of TLC.

Trev has been hanging his nose over a new car just lately (it's his turn, I had the Mustang last year) - hence the BMW and Maserati visits (with more to come) so I did think that's the real reason we went out to look at Porsches.

We had a word with Paul, the guy Trev's been talking with about the renovation, and then we went down to the factory to take a look at how the work is going.

Rennsport are the guys that make the 'Retro' Rennsport 911RS and they do a cracking job!

So, I followed Trev onto the factory floor...

"Happy Birthday, Wife," he said.

I don't take delivery until next year, but I now own a classic, 1978 Porsche 911SC

Yes of course, we're married and it goes without saying what's his is mine and what's mine is also mine, but it's certainly the thought that counts.

I'm exceptionally lucky and extremely happy.
