Looking really nice Paul. A good wash technique and she'll be minty fresh for a long time

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??)
can't you soften the suspension without raising ride height? Then just back off the alignment bit and will be good for the road?

Good points.

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

For those of you who don't follow the PCNZ Facebook page, I recommend you check these out.

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!

at worst maybe just a new set of progressive rate springs? Springs relatively cheap compared to adjustable shock

Even if we don't bid, it would be a great convoy to follow!

Haha the $1M for the rims includes the free 993 GT2 right? Will email you. Car looks amazing Paul.

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...

Will that include power slides and top speed attempts?

I'm sure there will be a power slide or two

As for top speed, it depends how well guarded the runway is, you never know a couple of cars may squeeze out. See what the LaFerrari can get up to.

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"
