I think Bob's targa was the aventura green manual - and no doubt in even better condition! That Iris blue does photograph well and suits the 993 curves.

Stunning car and colour. If I was in the market for a 911 this would be high on my list.

Macca

Correct. Looks like Peters in the used car game now :-P

Paul - prices are firming again for 993s LOL!

Don't know mate - that's the asking price, not the sale price......

Looks like 964 prices are dragging 993 values up

Not sure I could live with the blue interior - not sure what Porsche were thinking, but the interior colour pallet on the 993 range was not their best effort.......

Jesse's 996 turbo for sale again for a quick bit of profit taking http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used...-805390727.htm

Macca

Hot dam it man I think that's it!

P.S. Guess the guy with the $125K 993 C4S thats now been on Trade Me for 5 months unsold must have known something we didn't!

Just like Max and the 3.3T 964.............

Jason will be salivating if this sells, as his is a far nicer car and must be now worth two hundie??

Seriously - what is the C4S worth? - maybe a hundie if it was fresh meat, detailed and sitting in CCS showroom?

Macca

Jason's would be $180K at least. Its maritime blue with factory engine upgrade. It would have to be one of no more than 2-3 in the world in that colour from factory in RHD.

The C4S has a 3.8 engine upgrade but it wasnt done in the factory. You can buy that same upgrade today for any 993 if you have a lazy 25K to order the parts. Unfortunately the C4S also had a big shunt and thus even given its mileage I would have to say 100K is top of market here. Realistically its 85-90K to someone who has no clue of the history and doesn't get a PPI (i.e. a wood duck).

The cash crop farmers in Kaitia must be doing a good trade at the moment down in Auckland aye ;-)

Early 911 breakfast meeting tomorrow (Sunday 8:15) at Columbus Coffee, William Pickering Drive. Last for the year.

I'll go if others keen. Then i'm going on a Doug drive SH16 ways for some fun.

Who's keen?

^^ I'm car-less, so would need to hitch a ride with someone.

Macca - whats your 993 doing (whistle - whistle...........)

Macca

Sorry mate. There are two keys for my car and lock up. One set with me here the other set with Deano (now in Queenstown for a long weekend with his missus)...

O2GO

Heh.

Second thoughts, bugger this. I fancy an early blast north. Coffee/brekky at Wellsford.

Leave the big smoke 7:30am. Home by 11am ish.

I'll visit my folks at Whangaparoa on the way back.

GET OUT AND DRIVE :-)

Now who is keen?

Great video Peter. Nice to have some different angles on that run as well as the aerials. We did an early morning recce of this run on our Track Tour in March. Great road and recommend you give it a go in the rental (get up early before the buses and tourists!). Cant help but think that they should have a rolling max speed stage dependant. The SI roads had longer faster stages than the NI event and I think 225 kmph could have been warranted here without undue risk.

Id be very interested (as Im sure others would be) in what Gavin thought of the event and roads when you speak with him next. Not many events like this left in the world now. I followed him on the event and he had pace. Not bad given lack of familiarity with the roads and having to run in metric. Very well set up car with the sequential box. Those gears whine dont they! It would be great if he decided to do the NI Targa in May if they keep the car down our way.
