Not a Pcar, but man, this was a formidable weapon in the late 80's. Used to beat the 930's for a while and was the fastest thing out there until the 964 Cup Cars.

This was THE CAR to see at the track for a 13yr old Paul Miller.............

Not sure owning this would go down well??

Your track highlight of the year is driving a 21 yr old Honda Integra, how much worse can it get?

Chris' car is stunning in Black. Some nice mods. He has a half cage, Monit, motorsports extinguisher, custom front strut bar and some spacers with what looks like aggressive rear camber. If you wanted to buy a Targa Tour car at a very reasonable price than sorry, it's already sold!

As for Chris, I can see he's a natural fit for RSG. A set of track tyres and he'll be carving up the field.
Nice car Chris, good random number plate too.

Yeah, fond memories of that car too. It's quite cheap? But imagine keeping it running.

Could it be as bad as a cup car ($50K-100K p/a??)

JMc - if you are trying to get a bite, I will retaliate with 964T photos.........

Technically speaking - 12 months ago I was hooning a 993 around SI tracks at a speed a 964 owner could only dream of.........

The Arrive and drive has up to seven 964s turning up but no 993 to show them who's boss. You will need to tattoo that time on your forehead to make sure people remember what one can do when it moves.

Ouch - that drive's made you more feisty than usual JMac!

You're not going to let him get away with that one are you Paul?

Keen to hear Chris' first impressions having waited so long to get the wheel in his hands. Certainly looks sharp in black - RSG banner to complete the look.

Normal transmission will resume shortly. Getting fired up for the Cricket and casting a few lines around looking for bites. Paul never fails to take the bait. I could have mentioned that the last time I saw the 993 was at Taupo when Herman was on the rampage in the wet and the 993 retired but no point using all of the lures at once.

Pete, I suggest that you don't look too closely at Chris' R or regrets may surface. At the price, short of a (much older) GT3 I can't think of such a sorted P car for the things we do on the road and track. The fact that it's Targa ready as is would be worth $000s.

I'll take that advice. Until such time as he realises that what he really wanted was a GT3....

Right - time for the cricket - toss in a minute. Bugger V8SC also about to start!

Yeah mate - they are static art displays these days.......... or coffee and classic's mobiles........

Give it another year or two and you can say it was all bollocks and folk stories (a bit like that phantom 997.2 GT3 circulating in 1.10's)........
