NZ must be the only place in the world you can get such cheap 964 and 993 now. We should enjoy this while it lasts. Won't be many of these old timers on the track or Targa in a few years time - we may be the last group who freely run them as such before they eventually disappear to heated garages!

I saw the car in Devonport last weekend. It was the one that assisted in measuring the rear reflector for me. Seems tidy if your looking for a tip

BB in 2kcup gets my vote too. Would be a nice intro as I am sure several of us may go this way.

I'd say we are almost definitely the last group to run 964 and 993 like this. The modified Turbo 3.6s are being returned to original as values increase. I sense there's more interest in modded 964s to keep that trend going but with a whole lot of faster cars around the good condition 964 price point it would be a fanatics choice now to track one seriously over say a Cayman.

Herman will do the NITT but I won't be going hell for leather. I haven't ordered any more track tyres. Truth be told if the windscreen broke right now it would be a full respray and a life of moderate RSG days ahead.

When I find the right base car, 2k cup here I come.

John you won! It's one of the front pads of BB.
The pad was melted onto the caliper piston.
It needed heaps of persuasion, serious swearing, skilled brute force hammering, a crow bar and the help of a vice to get it off.
This is the other side of the pad.

but luckily BB is back. All fixed.
She peed herself in Chris garage. A little puddle of brake fluid. I'll bring some rags next Saturday to clean up.
But she's good to go.

If swearing was required, Jono is the man! What's the prognosis?
