CCS will be happy so will Graeme, Leong and R owners that you're not increasing the NZ supply.
Haha with the talk of a GT4RS, might be nice to have the option if GT4s held some of their value

One thing I know is that if we get organized for Euro 2016 I am definitely keen to do Spa and 'Ring. Sounds like Pete too
Hey, Spa and the Ring are on my bucket list too and might be cool to meet up over there for those sessions at least. Always wanted to do one of those Porsche Tours since I had the 911 too. Anyways, See you Sunday Greame - off to bed now for an early start tomorrow. Breakfast in Taumarunui and hopefully in Welly before the rain!

Congratulations. You did the smart thing and bought the car before the baby, however that's not always enough to save it longer term!

I've been mulling over ordering new banners as well. I need to make the White cars distinctive.

We should start a support group at our local pub.......

Somewhere is Kingsland is a good compromise for Epsom and Grey Lynn.

We can invite Sam and a few others......

Talk to Paul. You're guaranteed a great quote and he probably won't even realize

I see you're in Napier, so it probably wasn't yours but I checked one out closely at the last Ellerslie Concours. Nice and focussed compared to my allroad. Would've loved to have jumped in.

Hope to see yours in action sometime. There was a (yellow?) rally prepped one on TM that held my eye for a while.
Mine was displayed at Ellerslie 2011 (mines RS Blue in colour). The Black RS2 displayed this year was my mate Jons.
The yellow car Targa car isnt an RS2, but an S2 that was advertised as an RS2. I dont know why they dont call it what it is. RS2's were Avant (wagon) only.

Decisions...
Go sapphire blue. You need to get the colour that looks good to you when you're outside the car, not the one that looks good to others while you're in it.

Congrats Sam. Enjoy fatherhood, look forward to catching up for a drive or a pint.

That's not a bad idea, I'd be in for a pint once a month at a Kingsland local.

Sam big congrats on the new addition! Hope mum and bubs are well! Sounds like you got another Pcar in just in time aye! Well done...

Nik. Sorry mate - yes the RS2 - completely forgot. How long have you had her now? It must be almost 10 years? Nogaro blue was THE colour for these. My LASER red one didn't look half as good...

So 2015!is "Breaking Bad" year for new Pcar additions on here. We have 996TT, Cayman R, RS60 boxster, GT4, another Cayman R. 7.1 GT3 ...,man that's some serious acquisitions for first 10 weeks of the year!!

Leong72. White will look great on the GT4. Better year you can dress it up with decals if you wish (I've resisted Martin stripes on my GT3 to date lol!). We should see a tonne more reviews surfacing this week on the car. All good I'm sure.

Sam. Great idea on the T shirts and stickers. The time is right, we have a few new members and more to join soon. I just love my T shirts and would order more - quality was excellent!!


John. We probably need another banner run before NITT too?

Congratulations Sam. Family pic please :-)

I still have a bunch of Sam/RSGs stickers that I took down to HD that fateful day last August. White on clear and just a few round red ones. Need to get them back to someone more responsible than me.

Love the monthly pub meet up. I'd love that. When we go on our drives we blow 3/4 hour over coffee talking about our pcsr disease and it is great therapy.

Maybe the RSG fund could stock the two most popular combos, white on red and red on black?
