LOL!. Walt I think you are right but its NZ mark and the tide isnt rising very fast for maybe 2035.

I saw that 964 Cab also. I thought it was cute (Ive seen it in the flesh before) and thought I would generously buy it for Jo as an "xmas" gift as transport in NZ. I was in one of those moods which were dangerous and was about to bid then thought Id ask her if she liked the colour. If she had have said yes I have no doubt I would have placed that bid and bought her that car. She deserves it. Shed prefer a tycoon cut diamond but hey you cant drive that can you LOL!

Ill spare you the explicative's. Lets just say its the ugliest damned thing shes apparently every seen, she absolutely hates the colour thinks its ghastly inside, doesn't really want a convertible (her mum has an older one and always expensive issues with the hood) and doesn't much care for a 4 speed auto (could sell her on it but she will drive/own manual happily and I don't want to kill that spirit just yet!!!). Her parting remarks as she walked out the door were if I buy that "Green Frog" Im an idiot and she will disown me.

Now I like that car. I think she is being harsh. But I need to be disliked right now by my wife like a hole in the head so I suggest to anyone else looking to buy this as a "gift" to their partners (and a bit of occasional use themselves) that you get their impression first. I think us Porsche guys have blinkers on sometimes. At the right price (and I think this car is incredibly cheap by global terms if global of course is the UK bubble market we seems to be constantly comparing ourselves with) then make sure you run it by them first or you may be paying 3-4K a year for insurance, maintenance, rego and warrant on something that they/you never drive and your wife will still want the blue mini!

John and Jake on the test drive:

Jake. I told the seller I will be there at 10:30. Address is in Albany.

Agree with Macca's comments re buying for someone else. The WB is a masculine shape (what woman identifies with a big bottom?), but the colour is more feminine.

If it's dry it will be a good chance to stretch the Turbo 3.6 legs a bit, if nothing else, now that the Grinch is mobile.

Macca

Thats definitely Jake on the left. You can tell by the hair. I cant be certain but Im pretty sure Buba is the cameraman taking that shot. Im guessing his Pcar was still not back from a repaint....

PHG

Hey Paul
weather permitting, I will get there 7th

Yes agreed - white is very sharp and I could quite happily own this (once I get a race car and 997.1 GT3)

Good man.

Bloody Luke beat me to the question of whether the Speedline Rep's would be sold separately.

Luke you can buy Macca's old 18's off me if you are looking for bigger and sexier feet.

Macca

Correct :-)
It was at the 2012 Porsche Parade. Very tidy car then too.

That was the best event ever!

Luke944

Haha sorry mate. Couldn't help but ask about them! Surely there would be some others on here keen to get a group buy of Speedline Reps for a bulk deal?

I could be tempted with Macca's 18s though. I'll fire you a PM.

Macca

The wheels on the TM car are quite likely WB offsets and thus would not work on the C2.

John McM

They should be 55 according to the Turbo look site. I'll check that tomorrow.

Speedlines 8" ET 52 rear 10 ET 61

964 ET 55 front and rear

BTW this doesn't appear to be Ashley's car.
