Do you have a colour version??

 

9 car garage.

There is hope for me yet on a 700m2 site.

No, just that one. I would have been there for sure. What colour was the MP930 car? Was that the copper coloured one? Or Bill Farmers purple car?

 

Awesome. I'm off to Japan next week, can't wait. Love that place. Found an interesting car rental/sharing website there as well, looking forward to driving through the mountains of Gunma in a 911 (pending difficult lost in translation discussions) CaFore rental site

 

Imagine getting sign off by the council in good ol NZ for that! You would need a glass fence around the car for when it became a hole!.

 

Not sold on living room cars (though they'd warm the room nicely after a good run). Livens up hide and seek for toddlers but just imagine the edge they'd add to minor domestics, along the lines of 'give me the damn remote now or Lola loses a wiper/ wears a chair' or whatever.

But that set up is drop dead cool.

 

Saved myself from that fate this morning. I've decided not to chase GPW cars to make Herman top of class. There is too much risk. FWIW apparently the white car I missed out in Katikati has body rust so I dodged a bullet. It's been resold back to Auckland. The Targa is fine but needs a few k spent on it to clean up engine oil leaks. That makes it uneconomical as a donor.

 

Red?

 

Might have been. Fading memory in terms of cars and drivers but I reckon they were the halcyon days of Porsche racing in NZ when blokes with road cars turned up and raced. The Porsche club Le Mans relay races, various big meeting support races and the early bridgestone before it got infiltrated by serious race cars.

My schoolboy best mates father was the first "bridgestone" champ. Would have been around 1986-7. He rocked up in his daily driver (1983 SC red). Day after the championship win we bundled into the 911 and he drove us to Piha to drop us off for a camping trip. Hes in one of my old PCNZ mags (I have every one including the very first 10 newsletter style ones!) - photo of him being given a T shirt as the "prize" by the Japanese MD of Bridgestone who was visiting NZ shortly after the event. Ray Williams and Bill Farmer were there. Mike was a more skilled "natural driver" than they were, but he gave it up after is started to get a bit serious the following year and focused on his practice. As history tells Farmer and Williams went on to spend much more time driving race cars cant got rather good. The T-shirt said something meant to be meaningful in English on the back like "Good duck with the yellow foot" or something equally as Engleese 1980s speak...

Those were the days. Im happy for my 911 to carry on the tradition!

 

John - just drop $15K into a minter paint job
