Very nice!!


If you like Porsche's and 4X4ing you should come up to where I live near Wangaratta.

You'd love it!!

Loved the video (music selection not my cup of tea, much prefer to listen to the engine )

I laughed when I heard the "wooohooooo". Some tail spin?

Very well done. Beautiful roads (and car) you have there.

I liked the music. Do not listen to Wachuko, he only likes Richard Marx Greatest Hits.

Well... I do like the songs from Richard Marx ... but not for driving... for driving I like to put on: Bon Jovi, Scorpions, Triumph, Foreigner, Trooper (a cool band from Canada), Eagles, etc...

Nice little video!!! Wish we had roads like that around here. Do you have a swissed airbox because it seems to have a real nice intake growl!!

I believe that was "a dab of oppo" as the tail stepped out!! Just at the point that he passes a "Slippery Surface" sign......

Yes a cone directly on the MAF, the sound is great under load

I found this real windy and slow road witch lead into the bush and the road surface switch to gravel after the bridge.

Very close in that area we did Ellis Track in my mighty SuperCharged Landcruser. Alway interested in new tracks.

(A bit off topic but also fun)

The bikes look so relaxed and "slow" around the bends and you start chaising them and realise that you are going a good speed faster then driving on you own. That was the best part of the trip.

hee-hee: cops appear, music off. cops disappear, music on
They were there on the way up to too, a biky came off. After I passed the acident sene, a few bends down the road you can see the ambulance parked on the left hand side suggesting they had trouble with the poor guy.
Made me think not to overdo the speed thing.

Haven't seen your 964 around. Nice.
If you are up Wangaratta way you should drop by Winton on Sunday and watch us all punting at the track.
I love the roads around Melbourne. The loop up through Kinglake, through Toolangi and down Myers Creek rd to Healesville is fantastic.
I had a video of me going down the Myers creek Rd on Youtube but I got so much abuse from doo-gooders I took it down.
If you are up North, I can highly recommend the road from the back of Hotham following the river all the way down to the coast. Fantastic.

If you are ever after go fast bits or handling upgrades for your 964, let me know.....
