I dropped into Francis Tuthill Porsche this morning and was greeted with a nice surprise: one of the mechanics was fitting a TwinSpark Racing Porsche 911 RS steering wheel: our 380mm version complete with embossed leather horn push.

The range of Twinspark Racing hand made Porsche steering wheels is both comprehensive and unique. The wheels are made by hand in the USA and are truly works of art.

Driving with the RS wheel, our Prototipo wheels or the beautiful wood rimmed steering wheel is quite an experience. The tailored leather or polished wood adds further refinement to that genteel early Porsche steering, making every turn a sensual experience.

The wheels are not the cheapest, but we believe they are the best. Tuthill Porsche is one of our registered dealers, so they can buy with trade discount and have [...]

I drove an interesting car the other day. It was a Porsche 911 – Type 964 – backdated to give some early-style looks with modern day creature comforts. In some ways, the 964 was a bit of a mismatch of style and shapes but one area where it did itself proud was the engine.

That might have had something to do with the new Porsche Motorsport pistons and barrels fitted from a 3.8-litre 993 RS engine, along with camshafts from a 993 Cup car.

The other thing this car had was a lightweight flywheel: something I [...]

We’re having a Christmas party at our base in Oestgeest at the end of November. All Porsche friends from Netherlands and surrounding areas are invited to attend.

The date to put in the diary is Saturday, November 26th. Leonard, Lex and I will be on site all day, with coffee and cake in the morning, and chinese food in the evening. The aim of the day will be to welcome as many of our friends as possible, to share memories of a great year for the TwinSpark partners, with winning the Dutch championship and also finally seeing our pet RSR brake project come to fruition. We’ve recently negotiated a new lower price for the RSR brakes: see the TwinSpark Racing Porsche shop for more details.

Leonard has already put an invitation email together for the Dutch R Gruppe contingent, but if you have not received [...]
