Congrats Dave, looks good. You will need a motor vehicle dealers licence soon!

Nice one Dave, glad I could help. It would be sad to see that one disappear. If I couldn't buy it then at least a fellow RL'er could. Did you ask the seller about the 3.3T he just bought?

Maxem

Yeah, thanks Mate. Work out well. I saw the 964 Turbo but not in detail. Silver with aftermarket wheels, maybe a little work needed bodywise but didn't really get a decent look.
He jumped on this SC in December but then the turbo came up a few days later. He wasn't that fussed on letting the SC go it seemed but the deal came off so I'm happy.

Maxem

A bit of action lately for sure but a groove is forming and some stability will come. I'll have this one for at least 9 months I reckon. It has a rebuilt 915 which is superb so it might get used daily for a while.
Hope the Golf is going well for you. Fantastic car that. Set a lap time yet?

peterC2S

You got it Neil!

+1 on both counts. Nice score Dave - presume no plans to mod, just a nice original car?

Have you guys worked out who has the longer ownership list yet?

You must be secretly getting the Special Order builders option fitted on the sly Paul

Maxem

I'll just drive it as it is. The tail has to go but I won't get into too many dollars if that gets too hard to change. Anyone got a bare lid?

Absolutely loving the Golf thanks, perfect for a rush hour traffic commuter when you commute 80km's a day. Horses for courses. Fast on the open road in the twisty stuff and okay at HD. I did 5 laps on the Hankook V12's but never had a chance to bleed any air out of them before I started and no race brake fluid (enough excuses?) and did a 1.23, so should be good for 1.20 - 1.21.

If all went well he had his glass put in today, which is a big step. He also dropped off the seats bought from you.

If there weren't so many cue jumpers (John and Helen!!) - some work might be getting done on my car.........

John can confirm the story of the 997.2 RS doing 1.10's in road trim........

I can't remember who Kev said the guy was??

So a 991 GT3 must be good for 1.08-09 depending on setup??

John McM

That's what happens when you pay cash. I'm very happy with the job

John McM

Yes, Kev confirmed that. I think he said it was at the dual sprints. Can't remember the driver name.

Overall, possibly an expensive day as when the screen job was starting to look difficult Kev took me upstairs for a coffee to talk over car plans. Now planning a ride down to Tauranga with Pete to check out the R.

Very keen to know who the driver was. Maybe John remembers? Be good to get some pointers. The 991 GT3 seems to be around 1-1.05s faster per lap than the outgoing 997.2 GT3RS on the shorter European laps like Castelaine so Im thinking your guess is right. These guys must be awesome behind the wheel. Stu and I agreed a mid 1.12 is in the offering on street set up if I get some practice in and can start using the brakes properly (later and harder) and start to trust that the chassis can carry much more corner speed) but beyond that Id have no idea how you pick up a further 3+s deep into 997.1 Cup territory. Those guys just be lighter than Chris M :-)

Congrats David. She looks smart. Is that a bit of paint over-spray I see on the door handle gasket ;-P

Looks like a year of constantly changing garages. You snooze you loose. I still think the idea of renting a unit and collectively buying around 8-10 cars that we take collective custody and usage off has merit!

Macca

Mmmm. Something about glasshouses and throwing stones I remember....LOL

Was it Tim James?
