...first reviews are out. Very very firm on road and heavy clutch as expected. Definitely not a touring car but we knew that. Great track car and targa tho!!!...

My sender keeps suggesting a fault but the rams are working fine, altho I know I have lost a little fluid out of one. The oil pressure sensor is another weak link too.. a common fault apparently

I find myself visiting the 996 gt forum more and more. I am secretly lusting after a gt car of that era. When I sit down to think about it and try to rationalize it just doesn't add up having more than one fun car. However, I just couldn't part with Mr Black. This is a disease and I am confessing to the afflicted. They say the first step to recovery is to admit the problem

For track wheels go light and strong. I like the black ones too but really colour doesn't matter in that environment other than the brake dust is less noticeable on black
Hello Simon
There is a group of us thinking about a trip to Europe around September 2016, wanting to do some touring. I don't know how much time to be spent in Germany as most are planning to base themselves for a good bit of time in Provence. Others can chime in here. Personally I am keen to try to arrange at least a day at Nurburgring and/or Spa. (one or both). sounds like you are the perfect contact to advise us on options and details for this. Trackday options - with and without own cars, advance booking timeframes required costs etc
Which city are you based? Will you be back in NZ before then? Glad you posted, cheers

Keen on knowing what options there may be to run at the Ring - plenty of time to sort the detail as not til mid/late Sep 2016.

The rams end up leaking, and the sensor is dodgy, and not an easy amateur job. I know a few have decommissioned the sensor and had the foil locked up. My sender keeps suggesting a fault but the rams are working fine, altho I know I have lost a little fluid out of one. The oil pressure sensor is another weak link too.. a common fault apparently

Years ago, the Herald would use Porsche ownership as a pejorative when there was a crime scene (often a very used older car), now they are so much more mainstream that one is not enough. Multiple and serial ownership in this forum seems to become more prevalent than I would've thought.
