yea paul thought about the 2.8 too but have put too much into fettling the bloomin' car that I want to see how it goes and wont get another chance for a while with Targa coming up, then ice driving in Sweden early next year.
And besides I may be imagining things but I hear a louder drone in 5th in the 2.8 and been too busy to get it checked - could be imagining but maybe not.
A car in every segment is something that I agree with (as Dave said earlier) but man its hard to keep on top of everything if they are all used hard.

Fingers crossed Graeme as we are looking forward to seeing you.
I'm hoping so for Lola's sake as I spend another $25k getting her back in shape. She's had an interesting life in NZ and has taken some sort of small hit in the past as John, Dave and I discovered. All park of having real history.
I'm fixing her because of pure emotion. It's my dream classic car, we've travelled from Cape Reinga to Bluff with John's 964 and it's become part of my life.
It's only money and we are a long time dead. Oh, and I hope I don't sell her until it's too hard to get in and out of. Like late 70's perhaps.
Its also been to Aussie and back. So has the white 993 above... after my ownership. Shame as it was a tidy example when I owned it. Accidents are an interesting one with cars around 30+ years old its actually probably rarer to find one that hasn't had a fender bender and people cringe yet a mint long hood with a decent repair will still have people selling their left nut to buy it as much as we go oooow accident damaged.

Europacific visit at Pirongia today en route in convoy to Taupo.
John 964, Dave C3 with Pete, Paul 993, Doug in BB with a load of John's track wheels etc, some bits of Lola for Steve to sort, and pick up some more parts. Pete collects his 944 and we get to pore over Dave's build.
It's going to be a great day.

Weather look foul for Friday/Sat unfortunately. Im wearing R comps both cars so will be forced to take it easy or spectacularly end the Prestigio cover for all of us in one $$$ off! Actually I can imagine we may be preparing for the ABs game a little early in Fielding if it comes down as hard as it suggests....
