I hope so although I want to run BB as planned to get my times higher up the leaderboard.

Just as BB was so easy to buy, so was this. The seller lives 5km from my brother in Pahoia outside Tauranga so I paid and he delivered it. The seller even knew my brother from a previous hay purchase.

First pics of the interior look okay. I will work out how to get her soon. I'm not short of work to do so not in any particular rush.

As for racing. BB is ready, come and join me in the fray

BTW check out the redline on the tachometer ... 8,000!

Thanks guys, I am excited. Any ideas how to paint/wrap it for racing.? The guy who posted the RC rendering could really be helpful here. There are some lovely looking cars in this colour and I think the way you detail it in a subtle way could really make it pop. Any ideas gratefully received.

You don't miss a trick Macca :-) Congratulations Neil. What a big day for RSG racing :-)
I'll probably get her transported given how far away she is. The cost of petrol there and back plus a whole day used up is probably close to a push with transporting.

Well done Neil. Looking forward to being out there racing with you and Pete. Sean will be back soon and will hopefully join us for a few races as well. Should be a good summer!

A great car, very light which should make it very competitive.

Surely you've done the deal with Kevin to do it up with a variation of the martini theme like his old 944 and Waynes current one?

Simon and I tried to see it on the day we saw the GT3 in Devonport but it was in storage and too hard. I've heard nothing but good things about the car.

I just purchased another car, a very boring but practical Honda Fit for my daughter's 21st and graduation present. Another Honda, but nothing like John's, it would have to be the most boring car I have ever owned!

^^^^ Indeed. Sounds like 2015 will be "the year of the RSG racers"! Chris, Neil, Pete & Steve with John and BB (various drivers). I'm going to enjoy reading on line everyone's exploits as I travel. I'm sure there will be some stories! Great work lads...

Dave, I think I would make a fortune if I could wrap it to look like a 911, but there are some interesting colour combinations that are distinctly porsche that do transfer well between models. Not a fan of the martini colours Chris but maybe something a bit different to show off the lines and enhance the riviera blue which is a great colour. I am looking forward to being on track with you as well. Has pete got a car, have you gat a car ?
Doug , I see only a grey boxter on your link. Am I missing something? It seems to happen very easily and more often these days.

Thanks Paul, I hope to be as fast as you are one day. When are you going to start racing? You will be fantastic.
