When are you coming Peter? We should plan on putting a cruise together. We can show you some of our roads. Some of us are going to the Hill Climb as well, so we should meet up.

I think there’s also an Open Day at HPR on the Friday before the Hill Climb...

If Peter is going to be here June 24th we should see if we can plan a drive with him, and maybe meet for the Hill Climb. I am definitely going this year.

June 20-24, staying in CO springs.
Just hanging out with the Porsche entries.

I may have time to drive to CO, but I don't have the time the week after to drive back.
Plus I need a co driver and already have plane ticket booked.
Maybe I can rent something that's fun to try and follow you around :-)

Peter, maybe we can try to put together a drive / picnic on the 21st or 22nd. See what your schedule looks like on either of those days.

Time for the 3,000 mile oil change. Put the 5W-50 in for the warmer months. Took an hour and 15 minutes from start to finish.

Nice! Your garage looks great. I love doing oil changes on these cars - chance to play with really high quality hardware

Thanks Grant. You should have seen it before i got my GT3. I honestly felt guilty putting my GT3 in there. Well, six weeks and a boatload of money later, Shazam. Working on these cars is a breeze!

Rob, Mobil1 5W50?
How often you change plugs?

The 12K mile once a year may be pushing it.
mine are getting done every 4-6 Miles after seeing them the first two 12K intervals.

Hey Peter,

Yes, I run Mobil 1 5w-50 in the warmer months and 0w-40 during the winter. I change oil every 3k miles and plugs every 12 months, which equates to every 12k miles. Only 1-2 easy track days per year.

I will check them next time to see how they look.
