Pel I just figured your 930 looks tiny in the photo because it was an iphone panorama, so middle cars look larger than both end cars.... Distortion.

You can have her back. I can't move with six cars. Our dinner guests asked whether I had a sickness. Yes I do.

I've also seen work by Traditional Upholstery in Waimauku. I think they mostly do furniture but have done several hot rods that were very cool.

You'll probably need to call into several shops and see which one you 'gel' with before choosing 'the one'.
Thanks for that, I will follow that up

Thanks mate. M235i should be 85K in NZ really. M2 should be 105K NZD and M3 should be 130K.

Instead we have M2 likely 129K and M3 159K

Then they wonder why so many grey market imports?

You can use my lucky numbers 20, 10, 99, 7, 9, 11, 3 gt. Can't guarentee anything.
Quite fancy the Orange Cayman . Wouldn't mind seeing it in the flesh. Agree that the 3.8 is the way to go and will be the making of the gt4. Tempting.

I can store one on my front lawn for a while if you need the space until we find something a bit more permanent

If would be good if you could take BB2 back. I will wash her tonight, then deliver her. Ok? She is ready to race with the only thing I can see needing doing being the seat bolster, where the metal is coming through.

Macca - you need to change your add into an auction so people can publicly post questions - it will add to the entertainment value??

Found the same thing, although the 997's are clearly larger than the others.

Great to see people out on Sunday. Conditions weren't the best, but did allow for a bit of fun through the tight sections.

Pel: your car wins best looking mud splatter!

Quite a few Porsche scattered around Caffeine & Classics, morning drive followed by a coffee there makes for a good Sunday.

There are 35 people watching the auction with over 600 views. I expect that will double in the next few days. I dont have the time to deal with stupid questions unfortunately, too busy prepping for 6 months away. I dont need entertaining. I get enough of that here Buba :-)

Jake. Good pictures. Pel. Love the Turbo in period colour. BBS style wheels look very good and stance is just right. What is it with Sunday drives and mud hey!

I think the distance and alternative focus will be your savior. I'll give something (relatively inexpensive) away before putting it on Trademe, just to avoid answering the stupid questions.
