Was just about to post the same crack!

Congrats on the car Dave, looks lovely!

And stop winding Macca up about his lap times guys, he'll end up with a complex.

Matt - we don't see much of you these days mate, not sure whether you have recently traded models again or whether those UK asking prices have converted you into a bonnet polisher and you are preserving the paint and miles......??

Thanks Matt,
She's not as lovely as your old 964, it's a bit rough around the edges with the paint work but seems to go OK. But then I'm no expert there either. First track day will see if anything is going to fall off, seize or explode.

Well it is summer and I recall the camping pics from last year

Ok starting to clear out my garage.

First up is a lap belt for a 964 (at least part number is 964). $50 takes it off my hands

Part number 9648030150070B. Pelican Parts sell them for USD 70 on special order.

What do I have it? Well if you have babies/toddlers you want to take in a 964 you will be challenged with the 3 point belt system in the back as you can't fix the seat firmly. The lap belt allows you to firmly cinch the base of a child seat down in the back.

Warning - you won't pass a WOF if you leave this in the car as a lap belt can't replace a 3 point belt no matter the rationale. That said they are simple to remove and refit around inspection time.

Chaps, can anyone point me in the right direction with a website about Momo steering wheel models? More so 70's, 80's and early 90's wheels.

Mechanical sympathy?

CS Mende

I figure just a pair of Nomex boxers and Doug's barefoot driving technique will give me the edge I need.

I'll swap you some tires for it??

John McM

Done.

I'm more gutted about missing the apex by about 500mm - could have been 2/10ths in it and made me faster than Mendes........

Macca

Caught up with Paul before turn 2. Held back when I saw the odd spark and the exhaust dragging/swinging and bouncing along the ground - especially into Barrel 51. Actually held back till the back straight when Steve R decided to rush past and I followed. Was dead worried the thing was going to come off next corner and take out the front of the car. Paul was going hard out - might have thought for a spell there he was fending off a GT3 and 964 race car but in the next row we were quietly wondering when he would realise he was dragging the exhaust. When there was no sign of him turning off at the pit lane it was Arrivederci and away we went...:-)

Reading all the HD posts made me envious so planned an early road trip the long way from Oakura to Ocean Beach on Whangarei Heads today. To add an element of surprise I had Tom Tom plot it by adding Matapouri and selecting Windy Roads=Max. The route was 227k taking 2.5 hours (plus the return trip via a more direct route ).

Ocean Beach was beautiful. I don't recall ever being there before and took a long walk along it. Took lots of photos.

Without Macca to chase or try to drag off I flipped the lid down and drove like a Nana so I could take in all the views.

(Macca I can only post one photo at a time still from the app)
