That's a very nice looking car, love the colour combo.

But my next Pcar looks like this (lines on paper).............until the house is built.

I have no problem with it, but my wife is more likely to be interested in the PCNZ wine/cafe runs than having a drink with the boys, unless the numbers are more even.

That's my time goal as well. I aim to have the C4 at the Gymkhana. The hardest part is that I'm out of the country for much of May.

some pretty serious garaging there. somehow I think that much results in the contents mysteriously expanding to fit the available space. If not cars then other stuff like spares of all sorts. but we all need/want a 4 berth right? but often reality is another thing and the problem with offsite is they don't get driven as much.

Graeme you are so right. My experience of offsite garaging a car locally in NZ was that its a very poor substitute as it almost never gets the attention it deserves (to hard etc) and you cant go out and have a perv at it after dinner! If I ever return to NZ Id rather have one car less than remote garaging. Never again. My current garage(s) are 1500km away!

Classic - almost subtle enough to miss. Ok, maybe not that subtle.
