Touche!

I received the bill for the GT3's first (10,000km) service yesterday. 1.8hr labour plus consumables. $504.74 excluding GST! If I had have supplied the oil I would have saved another $60 (the GST).

I thought it must be a mistake LOL! Welcome news at this time.

Yes, although gazing at its flanks is a pleasure in itself.

^^That would be quite fun, although the novelty would wear off after a while. Wish we had an unrestricted road to take advantage of every now and then...

Is this suitable for a 997 Turbo/electronic centre diff? If so I would be interested.

Agreed. We are only a decade away from being able to print a 3D version of the car (minus mechanicals) as a static display for under US$1000.

Much heavier than a cup, but rhd and roadable.
I like the white too, it is an interesting proposition? It was imported from Singapore as a crash damaged car and converted into a Targa car. Not sure at $90K though, - $20k more than a cup car and about the same as a NZ new 'minter'.

Edit - Sorry Nik - you are correct re Emma's car. I was 3 pages behind...............

Spent this afternoon sorting through some of the aid donations that have started to arrive via efforts such as Doug and others on here and in NZ & Australia. Have sorted enough clothing and food for 10 families of 6 which we will deliver tomorrow.

Along the way I found those shoes you donated Buba!!! Also the blue velvet platform ones. Glad you shifted them on before Jenny found out! Have to say they will make someone in the village happy.

Not sure about being responsible for distributing a full length knitted balaclava though?
