OK, here is a Glen 911 story?
Back in the mid 1980s I used to occasionally bump into Glen at Hifi_Dave's shop Radlett Audio. Glen used to come in a variety of 911's, but the one that stood out for me was a lovely 3.2 Carrera in Martini colours, similar to the one below.
In the early 1990s I became very friendly with Tom Fletcher of Nottingham Analogue fame and we did some Hi-Fi Shows together, plus I helped him with a couple of his projects. Tom suggested I become a Croft dealer so I called up Glen and ordered a couple of amps. This was well before I started my own Tron brand. I knew the Croft amps quite well as I had serviced most of the range since about 1986 and owned his top model "The Mega". Anyway, Glen used to deliver his amps by hand, so I used to get a nice visit from him, usually on his way back to Erdington from delivering to his London dealers. I remember one visit, I was in the workshop and I heard this very loud exhaust noise coming up the road, which could only have been from a Porsche flat 6. After handing me a nice Epoch preamplifier, I couldn't help but notice this extremely strong smell, which was a combination of petrol, oil and exhaust fumes which must have come from Glens clothes. We had a cup of tea together then I got to check out his 911. This 911 was a far cry from the one he had in Martini colours. This one was completely stripped out with no insulation or sound deadening inside, lighten to the absolute limit, even more so than the RS model, plus the engine had been tweaked too. I couldn't help noticing that behind the seat there were some big holes in the body work above and around the gearbox. You could see the road plus the gearbox and engine through these holes. Ahh! That's were the smell came from! After about an hour Glen got back in his 911 and sped back to Erdington, with all my neighbours pulling back their curtains trying to see what was making all the noise...
