Hey Phil. Games up! We know all we are doing is helping you with the stock take ;-) Make sure you address my invite to your private race circuit in Brunei to the Kava bar on the corner....but seriously - a boat next door for the missus and kids? Brilliant Sir. Nice to know you!

I can say that because I'm not very competitive but others are different and I appreciate that. I tend to enjoy a smooth well driven momentum based lap than a brutal assault at a time.
Dave, are you going to the early 911 coffee on Sunday? BTW 1.28.50 in BB is not uncompetitive.....

Graeme, you're right, it helps manage down the risks and is probably something many of us should be doing more often. Even so, with something like a sudden steering failure it'll sometimes still just come down to the luck of the draw, no matter how well prepared the car and how good the driver. Paul's car park versus Senna's Tamburello...

Paul, can't tell you how pleased I am that those dice fell the right way up for you and your lady.

Didn't know about that, but very interested in going along. Where and when?

It's a Facebook invite from the early 911 Group. 8:30 am, this Sunday @ Columbus coffee Catering and function - 38 William Pickering Drive Albany

Doug will come around to my place late Saturday to help rearrange the scaffolding so I can get Herman and the Turbo 3.6 out. If fine, Doug will take Herman and I will take the Turbo 3.6. I don't expect to spend much more than a couple of hours out as the house repaint is ongoing. We could leave in convoy?

Was thinking gettydesign. Anyone got any recommendations for fit or finish?
Yes Getty are probably the best, or talk to Razzo - he probably has these?

Also talk to John G (from early 911), as he just fitted narrow body IROC bumpers to his car.
