Thanks for the kind comments guys - seriously hanging out for a fang........
I will have to arrange a special Miller's Back Sunday run - we can christen with some stone chips........
I will hold off completing the interior for a while - as I just want the car back - maybe a mid winter job??
Next job will be to soften the suspension (and raise the ride height
- I do like the stance, but over tramlining across the road - 17's and taller tire wall might soften this??)

I softened the suspension for the WOTY trip to Napier for the missus and the car was bottoming out under a full load (was the luggage not the missus) - something under the car scraping at the front.
I need to put some time and thought into it a sport road set-up. Might just raise to RS spec + 5mm. The car is RS minus 5mm at the front and approx -2 deg

I'll be driving the 575 for those who may be interested in a cheaper ride, but the Enzo or LaFerrari would be a once in a lifetime thing!

That Ferrari convoy will be an impressive sight! What did the ride in your P1 go for Matt?

Or sweep for ...
Some nice metal there and for a good cause. Talking of nice metal - if rather a lot of it - I didn't realise how far along the Cayenne Turbo had come over the years. 7.59.74 on the 'Ring for the 2016 Turbo S (anyone know what tyres?) and 0-100 in 4.1 reported by Porsche, so probably 4.0 capable. Must come with a factory fitted cowcatcher to plough little cars aside on the straights...

Today's exploring. Hamner Springs to Akaroa. Then, on David's suggestion, a short run through twisties to Wainui while Jan browsed in Akaroa.
"Go to Akaroa lots for work. Great road but for traffic & cops! Try the side road to Wainui, goes past French Farm. Turn off to right near the boutique cheese factory at Barrys Bay. Narrow, enjoy"
