Was the melted cheese rear wing an actual factory option for a normal 3.6 turbo?

A small piece of NZ sales history for the turbo 3.6 nerds. Should have bought one, aye?

I was totally fixated with Red SM366 but at that time couldn't reach that far.

Dave. many of those prices nearly 10 years old. Think of how much your property has appreciated in that time if you are feeling sad!

The wing on Massas car looks like the 964 Turbo S wing?

Tempted, but I think the advantages of comparing traces with other AIM users will weigh out.

Not too shabby for someone who is never here (I think including overseas rental cars and my Vanuatu truck you can add around 35,000km to that in daily driving etc).
Donna put about 6,000km on the 996TT before I came home. Considering my daily commute is 18km total and I spend a reasonable amount of time on assignment I was quite surprised how much I had done. I also started listing all of the work done on the cars and the 996TT is not as bad as I thought. Maybe that's because some of the faults were annoying e.g, the door microswitch.

As for the price, that would seem reasonable. Masa was putting 200km per year on the car and it was immaculate. The paint is flawless. I'll post some more pics.

You might be right. Ive not yet got to the point where Ive felt the need/benefit. That being said there is finally a comparable car in the fleet (Paul), so that might change...

GT3 washed, chamoised and put under its Porsche indoor cover today. Very sad not to be putting more miles on it. Its the first Porsche Ive owned that I felt like driving every opportunity, wet, dry down to the shops etc. The specification and gearbox make it such a good daily proposition Im fairly certain this generation will have much higher average mileage than previous generations. What a great car. Very happy.

Just for the record, I asked Masa if he was selling the seats and he said no, they are going in his Megane.

Thanks Matt. Thought they looked familiar with the sloped seat base sides and the flick on the headrest.

Thanks John. They don't interest me but could give others on here an idea of what is possible locally..

The midnight blue X88 option was the one I lusted after. Was for sale for a while in late 90s at Giltraps I think, used to go in all the time looking at it.
