Any Rennlisters from New Zealand?

That said, I still don't think I could ever set aside tracking the Turbo since that power is so addictive, even if any car eventually leaves you wanting more. As Mark Donohue said about my dream bucket list drive, the 1100+hp 917-30, "it will never have enough power until I can spin the wheels at the end of the straightaway in high gear."

Thanks Graeme. My passion for Porsches is unwavering. I just can't see myself affording a competitive Porsche race car right now. The thrill of racing is what I want so this is the best way to get there right now. If it's good enough for Ray Williams it's good enough for me. Can't wait to get out there.

Thanks. The planets aligned on this one, I think. There are bound to be stories but the fact that it was de registered was a big help. Nothing I can see in the rules against that. In fact it can be no WOF or Reg if it has a roll cage and is up to WOF standard.

Awesome John - good move. Hope it comes up to expectations, you'll have a load of fun. Just one question though.... where will you keep it??!!

In memoriam. Check out from about 2.44 onwards and especially the whoops at 3.25. He's driving it that loose around the corners to get the big turbos spooled up for the exit so as to avoid monumental lag. ![bowdown](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/bowdown.gif)

At full capacity we can fit 6 cars, 3 in the garage and 3 outside. Scaffolding makes that a little difficult right now but I'll work it out. I have to as I imagine parking the Integra on the street with a 18c motor won't have it there for long.

Not sure who on here takes close notice to FX but this is an interesting article today on Fonterra. Interesting enough for me to clear my holdings NZD....If you are in the market for any medium term USD (+GBP+Euro?) purchases you may be advised to hedge or take a spot rate to cover your risk....

Well I finally made up my mind and have bought the 944s2 race car form Kevin. I went backwards and forwards but am happy that this is a light, newly prepared and beautiful example that will be safer and less expensive than my car. Hopefully. Just have to get over the nerves and get out on the track and feel my way into a left hand drive race car. Thanks to everyone who has given me advice and recommendations. I look forward to meeting Kevin, Tim , Wayne , Steve and many others on the track in the porsche series.
I won't bring it on the NITT but look forward to catching up with all the RSG guys at HD.
Well done John on e new car . Looks like a beaut. They are difficult to find but should be worth the wait.
Phil, I will be coming on the 7 th if that's OK.[ATTACH]https://www.facebook.com/n/?photo.php&v=10152547986353926&aref=112121090&medium=email&n_m=ndewar%40 stheliersdentalcentre.co.nz[/ATTACH]

Its all on for sure. Nice car Neil, that will be a ripper and left hand drive will enhance the experience. It's quite amazing that you can buy a complete race car for the same money as fixing a few scratches out of the front of a 997 GT3....
When i was a young lad John, my boss had a new green VTiR and I absolutely lusted after it. That lust has faded somewhat but never mind, i am a little bit envious, not because you own one of my former dream cars but because you will be mixing it with the pack in a race series. Looking forward to seeing that develop.
