Agree. Skinny tires, nice amount of give. Certainly would bring out the best driving skills. Looked like close non-touch racing too although the telephoto lens may have made it look closer than reality.

Love to too Doug but must be party season. I'm out tonight too and unlikely to rise at any decent hour tomorrow

I agree. It was a real treat to watch the old cars being slid around an old track. The production quality of the Harris vids are great. I'm glad Neil stuck with him after //Drive

Dave? johnM? Pel? Sam? Walter? Jason? Warwick? Mark? John (Racoguy)? And whoever else I've missed with air cooled goodness.

Happy for any water boys to join and go ahead and sweep the roads for us:-)

Happy to run shotgun if someone wants company.........
See you at 7:30. I'll just imagine I'm still air cooled.

Were you on Henderson Valley road late this afternoon? I was parked up in the 500SL across the road, if it wasn't you then there must be another nice black 964 out there.

No John, not me. I know of a black Chch car that came to Akl about a year ago and another recent import with big reds and RS interior. I wonder how many black 64's there are?

Interesting, was a very sharp looking car. Was too busy on the phone to note rego number.

Co-incidentally stopped at the lights outside the McLaren showroom.
Probably a vinyl wrap?

That might have been Mike with the ex UK C2. I loaned him my OEM seats to get his car complied a month or so ago. His car was owned by a mechanic at RPM Technik in the UK. My old Turbo 3.6 is currently at RPM Technik being worked on by Ollie, who owns a White Cayman R. There is nowhere to hide....

It's only wrapped, redline did it.


Matthew - how has your GCT wrap held up?

To be honest I'm not that impressed. I'm going to remove it in the near future. When you look closely it is far from perfect.
