What would the dates be roughly Macca? I'm interested if they can work for me.

Yes, a few maintenance items due. I'm mulling over dropping the engine myself after the 28/4 arrive and drive. If I shift the Cayenne outside I have a heap of room in the garage and it will give me something to do over Winter. I need to change oil as soon as I get back. Anyone know where the best place to buy oil is and any suggestions for a change from Mobil 1?

Sure. Sorry. Mid March 2016. The tour will take place over 8 days, four tracks from Invercargill (Teretonga) to Christchurch (Ruapuna). We will likely base ourselves close to Highlands again in Queenstown or Wanaka. If you intend to drive there and back (I think at least 65% do it this way) then you will need to budget on 14 days as it will take 3 days/2 nights each way. By far the BEST car event Ive ever done in NZ tied equal with 5 day Targa NZ Tour in 2012....

I will place this on the RSG board later in the year, but wondering how many RSG folk on here are keen on SITT next year? Jo and I will be going and Im thinking to ask Tony to reserve us some spaces in Prestige. Im figuring there will be at least 6 x RSG parties interested. Please let me know if you are interested or just start thinking about it and keep and eye out over the next few months on the RSG board...

True. Good to hear you are in Europe for a month. I thought it was 2 weeks. Fair call. Ive been working on an itinerary these last few days starting in Switzerland then down to Sicily (finally) for a few weeks.. If you arrive beginning of September we will be in Como or Majore so come join us....

For SITT 2016 I currently have:
Ron/Patsy
Richard
Macca
Jake (possibility)
I guess Rasso will depend on if he is going to Europe. Graeme? I think there were a number who did not go last time who were fairly keen to go next time we organised an event....

This will be a bucket list trip for us. I'm over squeezing 6'4"'into an economy seat for the trip so premium economy at least means the cost is best spread over more days. Not sure what Donna has planned. I imagine the Ring is not on it. Can we get there in the GT4? I'll hold the camera!

I am planning to attend the Ring for a few laps 4-5 days before Provence. The Eiffel region is wonderful in summer. If you book now you can get a Ring taxi with Sabine (she books up 9+ months in advance from my experience missing out last time). Or else you can risk your hide with me :-)

March should suit Macca. Will reach out to a few other owners who don't frequent these boards if that's ok.
Sounds good, keep in touch and we can play it by ear. Know how quickly time disappears when you're working away from home.
My first attempt at wet sanding. The finish is rough, in part due to me getting sick of sanding after two hours, and Mitre 10 only having 1200 grit paper. Will pick up some 1500 and 2000 and finish over the weekend. Still a minor rough patch, but mostly sorted. Prefer the matte finish over the plastic shine it had before.
