911rox, congrats. That is one very nice car you got yourself. Aussie Jimmy's pants got a bit tighter when he saw those pics lol.
What sort of track days do you currently do if any? I recommend you do some with Driver Dynamics and O'Neil days although both are at Sandown which gets pretty boring when you've been going there for years. But they both have some quality instructors and you can get plenty of instructor times. Guys like Dave Reynolds (former Carrera Cup winner) are often there and are perfect instructors in a car like a 911. Alternatively Fitzy (Peter Fitzegerald) offers his clients small group (5-6 people) instructions at Winton. These are great days as you learn so much from him. We are talking not just about how to drive, but how to think on the track as well. He then also drive your car and sets a benchmark for you to match. Good luck matching him especially in a 911 lol. I'm more than happy to introduce you to any of these guys by way of email.

Hit the road today- heading down towards the coast, just to rake up the kms... Copped a huge down poor whilst on the highway but I just eased off the gas and MPSCs coped okay. You can certainly tell they have trouble moving water considering they have no evacuation channels to the side... A few more shots- better quality this time (sort of)... enjoy...
The only thing I'm hating for the moment is the amount of tar it seems to flick onto the rear quarters and bar from the road... Its a b#%tch to get off...

Yes it is my car on the market. I don't want to sell the car, but I have to.
I should be at Eastern Creek later on this year. Maybe we can say hi.
Roxy,
Great photos of the car. You should be coming up to a motor rebuild soon LOL. Looks fantastic. Enjoy your new toy.
Ciao for now

Mine certainly better not need a rebuild soon, lol... So far the Nissan has given me 180k hard kms without missing a beat. I'm expecting a million km before my first rebuild for the outlay with this thing

Very nice. You were down as far as Bells Beach? Are radar detectors illegal in Vic now? By the way, you can turn off the Audi LED running lights in the console menu: set->light->running. : ) That way, nobody will notice the brand new, white Porsche with the enormous wing ... : )
I will play around with the lights today. Would love a little less attention. Thought they were a bit of a permanent thing...

Thought so...was going to guess Mount Martha, Dromana, Sorrento area....
Some great views in that part of that world...magic sunsets.
Enjoy the ANZAC day holiday.

Thanx fellas, the novelty factor just isn't wearing off fast enough. All I want to do is drive... Not always possible though, back to reality 2moro- work...
Hey CC, yeh the good old Portsea pub has that affect. Apart from the traffic during holidays, the mornington peninsula is great for a getaway...

Thanx Bill. You were spot on with your assumption. The home shots are in fact in Sorrento. Were you from these parts or have you visited in the past? Either way, you've done really well to recall.
