I got mine from http://www.germanplates.com/ pricing is very cheap and quick shipping. (Not technically legal on nz roads though, but I haven't had a problem yet - even been pulled over but the boys in blue said nothing)

I had the same for ten years but got done for having them on the car. I had to hand them over on the spot to the officer. I genuinely didn't think they were illegal so he let me off with no fine.

I was wondering what tyres he had on. A lot of work at the wheel. Looked a fast way to drive. Was it?

My other option is to resurrect 93TRBO. I think plate re manufacture is cheap as one went to the UK I only have one plate left.

Looks fun, I wouldn't have anywhere near enough experience to maintain that level of control.

On a similar vein, has anyone taken a pyrometer to the track to assist with dialling in their wheel alignment/camber setup?

Must have been a C2, apparently C4's don't oversteer

Leader Road in North Canterbury, you are heaven on a day like today. Passed just 3 vehicles coming the other way. Sunny. Warm. Roof down. The RS60 got hammered :-P

Thanks Dave (Shiraz) for the best driving roads tips
