We'll never know - I'm reminded of a comment of Walt's a couple of days back that I completely agree with - when you drive fast there's an associated increase in the level of concentration. Where I am right now that's absolutely true - steady 140-150k or thereabouts but constantly aware checking mirrors because you know someone is coming past at 190-200k as often as you are passing someone at 100-110k. Just a constant heightened state of awareness - and safer for it.

The issue on our roads is bad, lazy and inconsiderate drivers - sometimes a combination of all 3. But our standard of driving is generally woeful and I reckon that's the main issue. Every piece of legislation/policing is simply a lowest common denominator approach.

Pete - any chance of you swinging past and checking this one out for the RSG crew? Must be a sub $50K landed?

(and it's even the the right colour combo for you mate...........)

following the various posts regarding compliance and mods. suspension, seats etc.
whats the general view now on project cars built outside NZ, I am thinking the Autohaus Hamilton type complete job, but with many non factory parts and mods, engine, suspension, wheels, seats, half cage or at minimum harness bars, etc.
Could be getting harder and harder to comply? I know 18 months ago it took a long time to get compliance on my RS from Germany.

Way too slow - SOLD

Graham - If you are up for a challenge - anything is possible.

Maybe this is overly simplistic, but an alternative approach is to take a car already complied in NZ to Aussie for say a driving holiday (and it just happens to get modd'ed while over there), could you reimport it without getting a compliance??

The Carrera Down Under would be a classic case where old Pcars go to Aussie for a month or so and then come back?? Someone needs to talk to them about what they need to do to re-enter NZ? I highly doubt there is a re-compliance process?

My cats are also an effective Polar Bear deterrent as well. Proven by the fact I haven't seen one in the backyard yet.

An extreme example of the need for stats to back any assumptions!

If this car was silver instead of black, I could be strongly tempted to toast the 993 in favour of this.

I don't have Warwick's grooming skills necessary to maintain it............

That's because 'Polar' lives in the garage and can't access your backyard......??

You'd have a lot more fun in the white cayman R - less money, 10 years younger and less likely to kill you!

This is the allure............

That's not a quote to inspire confidence in the guy whose driving your car...

And a whole new range of mods to embark on to make it how you would like and also less likely to kill you ......So the real price is much more

Graeme. I don't think anything has changed since you complied your RS replica. It's just interesting to dissect the LVVC legislation which has been in place a few years now to understand how many of bus might fall foul to literal and uneducated interpretation of the rules many of us didn't know existed...as for modified cars arriving I saw many of them ex Japan when my GT3 was being complied. Stuff like R35 GTR.

Paul. Pete is probably right of course but I see allure of the GT2. If it were me I'd buy this regardless of colour and have some fun for a year or two. I'm betting if you picked this up for under 100k you'd make a very healthy profit when you sell it (probably to a UK buyer).

Don't worry Pete, It's safetly tucked up in the garage.

I'm at the beach couch surfing Pcar p*rn............
