Any Rennlisters from New Zealand?
Macca,
That's a tome, not a post.
I recall Neil's big bill including brakes. It's all relative.
You're are correct re newer technology. Herman is entering semi retirement. 2015 is hopefully the racing year.

Great write up Macca and good to have you back on here. I appreciate your insights and think you have made the correct decision. I have some figures for my car and the biggest expense is the brakes , tyres and petrol. Disks and pads wear out fast, I am on my third set of front disks and they ain't cheap, I suppose that comes with the speed.
I enjoyed the GT3 convoy. Won't forget it in a hurry.
Hope to see you soon.
Off to Puke tomorrow with Kevin and the 944. She is looking perfect and I am excited and nervous to test her out and to see how long it takes me to get to grips with a left hand drive race car. Life should always be a challenge. Cheers all Neil

The GT3 is no different.
Good luck on the weekend with the lefty. Won't take you long to figure it out. We found it daunting for the first few weeks over here but it becomes natural very quickly...
Attachment 872762 Taken today just before we loaded her onto the trailer. Love that colour

Attachment 872765 I hope I can keep her so clean and shiny but doubt it very much.

Graeme, this is the Go Jack in action. It's liberated enough space in the garage to store three cars and work on one of them. Only problem may be that the 996TT is longer than the Turbo 3.6.
Macca - great write up of the NITT experience and I'm sure your reflections on the 991 vs 964 will assist others. I strangely enjoyed the rain in Taupo though it sure was intense at times - a bit like walking a tightrope. Nothing like having the rear try to step out at 200 odd kph as a reminder not to go all out through those mid main-straight puddles when it really bucketed down though.
JohnM - just catching up on the thread so will drop the BB dosh in to the account over the weekend. Also happy to stick some in for the 2Kcuppers if you like - drop me a text maybe.
Neil - that has got to be one of the best looking 944s I've ever seen pictured. Bet you can't wait to get her out there.
John, thx for bringing go jack to my attention - think I will go get 2 2moro. Man that 2k is full on. tyres and pads are not going to last long driving like that for sure. Those front tyres will be chopped out in no time with all that understeer. Study that Dougie
Neil, great car, great colour, will enjoy it I bet.
Macca, Nobody posts like Macca - we haven't got the attention span haha. Ur lines aren't too bad. Thing is manfield is my home track so except for the racing boys I have probably done more laps there than any of you AKL lads. Now that Fraser is painted a Porsche colour its bound to be faster. Then when it gets an RSG sticker that will be good for another half second!!
I had such fun on SITT that when I started doing maintenance and tidy up on it I got a bit carried away and now it feels almost like a new car so that's great.

an '08 GT3 with 10,000km. Out of Sydney, it looked to have been an insurance write off but seller claimed to have spent $5000 to bring it back to life, with no outstanding issues. Unable to be registered in the state, he was trying to flick it off in NZ. Not the best premise for a purchase, but potentially a great buy at NZ$80,000
