Jamie. Good points. John can take them under consideration. Im watching Underbelly right now. Nothing is beyond the criminal mind! Acually after watching Underbelly I think maybe better to say "nothing is in the criminal mind"!!

Imagine their disappointment when they jack the garage to see "RSG1" and "RSG 2" blocking the view and 1988 Chris Amon in the comber staring them out. Id run!

Ad altered in line with the suggestions. I forgot to include the built in radar detector and laser jammer as well.

Yes Paul, even I can be reformed, for a short while anyway.....

Well worse still is if they targeted the house! Maybe... I have 2 Porsche 911's, I'm away 3 months and have a huge mother of a dog called bear...

John, I see you remembered to remove the "my other car is a Honda" bumper sticker

Looks nice, good luck!

Car needs a respray John. Cat is more "white" than front guard. Pretty sure thats not supposed to be the case ;-)

Next you'll be suggesting PTS. She leaves enough fur around the house to send a sample away.

Looks like she just ate Chris. Shining Hondas evident in the front yard look exceptional. Too good to race? Obvious podium finishers with the care and attention devoted to them. Good job John.
On a serious note , with prices going the way they are and speaking hypothetically, if I were to upgrade/ invest in a new daily driver would you suggest a cayenne or a more classic porsche. The R32 has been exceptional but feeling a change is due. A tow vehicle seems logical but not necessary so could be anything. Where should I put my hard earned?
Interesting that there have been some engine rebuilds on gt3 s. Mine is fine,thankfully. Probably due to inexperienced trackday demons going backwards or spinning. These things happen to the best of us.

Neil, with race car now I am surprised you say tow vehicle not needed?
Lots of gear gets accumulated once racing, unless you can arrive and drive with all service support contracted in. Even minimal gear will be 4 rims (wets) maybe 8 rims (plus older dry tyres to run a few practice laps in) jack, petrol cans, weekend gear, maybe chilli bin, chair,....

Going through the same thought process, and funnily the R32 or R is on the list of 'maybes', along with a 964, Cayenne, BMW wagon, Mazda Roadster, Boxster... The list goes on. First world problems!

I've little need for practicality (no kids or pets) or even a regular daily (walk to work) hence me taking the 964 Cab for a test drive last weekend. The hard part is trying to focus on buying car I care little about. A wagon would be perfect for the summer beach weekend mission, but I'd rather drive something a bit more fun.

Not if the Turbo 3.6 sells. Full glass out respray would be first on the list.
