Yeh, yeh, yeh. How's the F1? I would go but my 'Rich and Famous' lifestyle has me traveling back to NZ in the lowest logical fare...back of the bus.

Yeah pretty much,
Have got new bilstein HD's with H&R sport springs and they are on the lowest setting. Which for me needs to be slightly lower to match the rear, but as it sits now, we dont have enough thread to corner balance (if we want) at that height.
Theres no hurry though as Im still waiting from my RS droplinks to arrive

Anyone doing the Porsche Drive on Sunday and know if it is going anywhere near Pirongia? Maybe not that far South? Looking at options to hitch a ride back to Akl on the return drive.
Cheers

9:45 am for a 10:00 am departure.
Here is an opportunity to drive your Porsche in the way it was built to drive. Like many things in life this drive is much more about the journey than the destination, with interesting and twisty sealed back roads with little other traffic. There will be no distractions looking for clues just keep your eyes on the road and enjoy the spirit of the drive.
Lunch is at Hillside Hotel on the top of the Taupiri ranges offering panoramic views of iconic New Zealand landscape.
That's all I know. Steve is going. I'll check how far Taupiri is to Pirongia.
Edit it's an extra 53km. Maybe Doug and I can take a detour.

Def black wheels - and a green cage.
My P1 and CGT will be on display next weekend at Turners In Penrose along with a F40, F50, Enzo and Ferrai Daytona if anyone is interested in seeing a few cars.
Should be quite a cool collection to have together and a good opportunity to purchase a new car at Turners :-)

C4 weather so fine for Herman. Not sure about Lola the C2 or the newer cars. The rain forecast suggests we will miss the worst of it anyway.
Hope Macca's places will be ok in Vila. I've been through many cyclones in my 13 years in the Pacific and they are S;(t scary. Most people don't realise that wind force is not directly proportional to speed. 100 knots will blow a lot of roofs off and the iron becomes deadly. Fingers crossed for all those with more at risk than a clean P car.

First one I went through was early 1993. Thought I was bullet proof as a Wellingtonian. Nothing prepared me for it. It was like someone had a fire hose behind a 737 engine parked in front of the apartment. Water goes absolutely everywhere and you daren't go outside with iron and debris being flung around. Only positive is that you are warm through it.

Ta - let me know if feasible. I have another option available if I need or will do a backload of one of the EP stable!
Yes - been thinking about Macca's place in Vanuatu which is pretty low lying if I remember - fingers crossed because he and Jo are a long way away.
If anything will bring him out of Rennlist exile its something like this.

As for Macca, he's still posting elsewhere on Rennlist so isn't in complete exile.

Has anyone here ordered Jackpoint stands from America? I seem to recall them being discussed before. I'd be interested to know the price for a set of 4 landed in NZ.

Last year, Warwick (Pcarplayer) sourced the deal of the century for sets of ESCO stands. I brought them in myself and it was a far more expensive exercise. I'll let Warwick pass on any info he has.
