used to be the road car was the basis for the race car and very close detail given homologation rules etc

Now the relationship is much more tenuous and maybe we are the worse for it because ppl can't identify with the cars so closely anymore.

Agreed. RSR has been a different beast from Cup for a few generations now. Probably the key similarity was the engine casing and architecture. Gearbox, suspension, body and aero different etc. There may be some news shortly on the DFI into 016 Cup. Its either that or 960/FeFi in 2020.

My wife punished me today for spending too long on RL by making me ride a horse along the beach at Sunset. But I found a silver lining and had my iPhone ready just for you Buba, you had to be there for this hardbody!

This looks like it's been quite the project: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used...-852565957.htm

Its definitely "interesting". I don't get why its called an "RS replica" tho. Its a C4 with 993 wheels, cream interior and gold seat belts? I remember the car before it was tarted up. Be interesting to see how the auction goes....could be the new benchmark sale for 964 in NZ....

Other than an RS badge, not sure what makes it an RS replica??

Maybe some brakes?, stripped trunk and heater pipe??

This is just an highly priced C4............

Lucky Barst*rd (not talking about the girl) but the photo of you and Jo chilling on the beach.

Retired at 40 - wish I could do the same............

Macca

Trust me mate the girl was pretty amazing. My wife even asked me if I saw her and what an awesome physique she had!

I wish I was 40 mate and I wish I was truly retired. Actually I am neither but Im doing a good impression of both for the next few years and by then Im hoping one of you guys will have become a wealthy and successful entrepreneur who can pay me to come and work for you sourcing cars for your collection and managing your "fleet". Seriously, that would suit me might fine. You need imagination to "retire" early I reckon. Im meeting alot of people who are still working heir guts out at 65 when they could have afforded to retire at 55 but they just "dont know what to do with their all that time". Come on man. Life's short, find a beach or sail the world or hunt Marmots in the mountains.....

Heres another for you Buba!

P.S. before some starts thinking some PC crap Im not objectifying this woman. In fact I looked at her and admired the sheer focus of mind and discipline she has to perfect that chiselled physique. While I looked ta her I thought only of the selfless pleasure I would give Buba an others on here and quietly wondered...why was she not at my Yoga class yesterday?

PPS. Been doing alot of yoga here...havent done any since 1992 in Varanasi India. Cant say Im better or wrose than I was then LOL!

That makes a lot of sense.

Looks like I might get my car back in time to get stone chips heading up to Dougie's......

Macca

Bloody hope so mate. That's a few months away!

Macca

Looking great too mate! Ill bring the 993 to keep yours company!

Very nice Paul
you gonna put plastic protection all over the front or leave it naked?

kiwi 911

Sh*t yes...........

I'd wrap the whole thing if I could.

Looking to go a reasonable way up the bonnet (rather than the usual 300mm), will otherwise be factory.
