Its is a bloody good song mate for sure. Worthy of a itunes download just for the fun of it. Reading the lyrics makes the song pop back into my head instantly. Thanks for the nostalgia!

I love it, Eduardo! One of my favorite 80's songs! By the way, Macca, thanks for the description of the taste of the New Zealand and Australian versions of the sandwich - I'll pass if ever given the chance!

Don't listen to Macca, Vegemite is great

I will agree that it is likely an acquired taste; however, since we're brought up on the stuff, it's just another great sandwich spread. If you're trying it for the first time I would recommend spreading it verrrrryyy sparingly, like a 10 or 20 cent coin (or quarter) sized amount for an entire slice of bread - it's not peanut butter! Once you're a seasoned consumer you'll appreciate a more complete, but still not thick, covering.

Plus, toasted Vegemite and cheese sandwiches are amazing!

Vegemite is discussing, I rather eat used cat litter.

AllanS, beautiful,gorgeous!!!!! nicest GT3 I have seen so far.
I could never keep yellow (or any color for that matter) seat belts and calipers clean but it looks fantastic!!

Blue seems to be the color for the GT3, love the blue metallic also.

Rumor for the RS is black, white orange/red and some kind of grey/silver...
Or PTS I suppose.

I seriously doubt PAG will allow PTS on the 'RS' for the first year of production. I suspect being such a specialized model, many of the RS's unique body parts (e.g. bumpers) will supplied by outside vendors in 'just-in-time', 'just-in-sequence' logistics already painted & ready for the RS assembly line at Zuffenhausen. Because of that Porsche will initially limit color schemes on the 991 gt3 RS to a few colors (say FOUR or FIVE maximum) and that is it! I honestly don't think Porsche has the time or inclination to mess around with PTS on this first year of the 991 gt3 RS and worry about paint quality control issues and/or warranty disputes on matching color numbers!

I had a PTS '11 RS but it came in the end of the production run and it was black.

The good news is that Vegemite, Tim Tams etc are pretty easy to get in the US now. Even Coopers can be purchased at some of the supermarket chains, a good meat pie is a little harder to come by...

I'm hoping for PTS on the RS - for what it's worth my dealer thinks it will be available, but that it wouldn't be the case for the early allocations.

For those looking for some colored tape for the center top of steering wheel. I ordered this ISC Racing Gaffers Tape that I found on line. They come in various colors. When I receive it this week I will advise on the feel ect.. It was very inexpensive so I it was worth a shot to see if this may be ideal

^Did receive the tape(red) today. It was ~$20 delivered. This tape is perfect. It has a cloth like feel on the "non-sticky" side and they claim that it will not leave any residue when removed. I took about an 8 inch piece and laid it on my granite counter top. Then took a razor blade and cut it about in half(comes 2 inches wide which is too wide)- cheated it a little so a little wider than one inch. The tape wraps very easily and easy to line up so it is consistent. Got it perfect on my second try.

Looks great on the leather steering wheel because there is a perfect indent already on center. It certainly compliments the red stitching with the tape. You would think it was custom ordered that way.
