looks pretty good. I think it is spot on 70s. But that's only my 5 cents and I am only 29. :-)

If I might say Ralf, you look quite old for your age

OK, you've caught me. I am celebrating my 29th birthday for a couple of years now.

Well that made me reach for a nice Glenlivet to round off the evening...

No problem. This is an interesting read from Karl on his first outing at Silverstone. I got to know him as a fellow 991 GT3 owner but he seems very approachable..

Looking good Dave. Can't wait to see her finished in the flesh... Easter 2015 road trip?

BTW our usual cohorts for a 2 week Easter road trip have bailed on us in favour of hobnobbing on a big yacht somewhere in the tropics so I'm keen to plan a South Island cruise with some good chill out time along the way. Reconnoiter in 3 weeks on the South Island Targa Tour.

Expressions of interest on joining and making it a convoy? Will involve pedalling the Otago rail trail.... To keep the Misses happy.

I have booked 3 Playday slots for 18 October. Two are for the racing Group, the other one will prioritise BB owners not in the racing group, with any spare sessions for the racing group in BB.

Chris B has entered us in the races on 18/10: RSG1 "The Grinch" #62; and RSG2 "Black Beauty 2" #61

So, who wants a BB slot on 18/10? I think Sam indicated interest.

I have leave from 28/3 to 12/4. A family trip down South was on the cards. Not sure yet how that would be organised.

I would be in for a spot, but if I crack into the 127's this weekend I will retire.......
Weather looks patchy unfortunately

Doug. Great idea. Jo and I have been discussing doing a SI in the GT3. But alas Easter we will be in west coast Mexico. We might have to do it in March 2016 and slot the Paydays SITT on as well.

I have a colleague who is looking to get the new “coil over” suspension for his Lotus certified to keep it all legal. The car is a 1973 Lotus Elan +2s 130/5....

He doesn't know of a certifier and before he contacts someone random on this list I said I'd ask if you guys have a recommendation.....

"I believe that the certification type I need is Category 1A Modified Production
http://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/su...categories.pdf

Looking online I can find the list of approved certifiers here:
http://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/su...st-Website.pdf

Here’s and exerpt of the Auckland based certifiers for the category I think I need:

Matte Black Turbo S - like a stealth bomber. I met the owner of this car at one of the Armstrong functions. We were both eyeing up an F12 Ferrari that revved with practically no fly wheel effect, gaining and losing revs so quick like a very high end race car not a road car.
