2011 Targa Newfoundland countdown....

Down Town Fine Cars Porsche Dealership should have one if you drive by in the AM.
If not, I can let you have one from a set that I have mounted - they have good life left.

If you are in a bind, I have a set of OE Cups that have about 500 street miles on them and 1 track day - they are mounted on my OE rims - sitting in the garage as the car currently has PSS tires on my VOLKs. I'm pretty sure you should be able to source at Downtown Fine Cars Porsche Dealership tomorrow if you are in the city.

Do you think I would be crazy to bring a 959S for 2013? Some folks think so but I say what's the point in owning something if you ain't going to enjoy it? I mean really the whole point of the 959 was Group B in the first place. I had a dream the other night where I sent a message to Walter, you know Walter right(?), and asked him if he would like to drive the 959 in Newfoundland. I would pay for all the expenses and everything, I could be the copilot of course. But then I thought to hell with that, I want to drive.
Big issue at hand are replacement parts. I'm lucky in I know a few proprietors of Rapid Prototyping firms in Europe who said they would be more than happy to help me out if ever in need of such assistance. Just don't know what bits to get made before the 2013 Targa. I'm figuring mostly suspension bits. Wish I could get an email or phone number to someone or some shop that campaigned the car in the 80s. With practical knowledge and experience. Anybody know anyone?

Hey Tom,
Good luck!
How much toe have you got in that thing? Looks like a little too much to me, as camber alone won't thrash tires anywhere close to that quickly. Maybe have the suspension guys in ON check the toe while you're there?
Wish you all the best, and looking forward to some more Gravol consumption at ORP again!

Well, i finally had all the shocks taken out today.
They are now re valved and dyno tuned. Hopefully they are rally ready.
I elected to now try the new Michelin Super Sports to get the car home and i anticipate them lasting longer then MPSC for long cross country duty.
Tomorrow the next half of the Journey continues........ 10 days until race day....
