Concrete runway almost 1km long 20m wide. I'll check and see if the owner has a Pilatus PC12 and if so try for a personal intro. Not sure if there is a suitable apron there for a skid pan...

Maybe if its who I am thinking Macca that would be a brilliant spot - have to know him pretty well though to get him to open place to lots of guys he doesn't know? I've been there but don't know him well in order to ask.

Macca

I don't know him at all but I know the CEO of Pilatus. He had just been for a few runs in the owners 991S on the runway before I picked him up in the GT3 late January and took him to Auckland Airport via the Eastern Bays. It's a long shot but Sebastian has known him a long while and Seb was a very generous patron of our fundraiser. Thing is I'm not sure that's a favour I want to call in...

Maybe save your favour for another time, I have been given the number of the guy that can sort the expo centre car park. Apparently they 'don't charge for the car park, but ask for a donation' so $500 should suffice. I'll have to go take a look to refresh my memory of its physicality and surface friction slip dynamics! I'm 99% sure it's asphalt... Just can't remember it's condition. I'll call him tomorrow in between go karting sessions at highlands!

Great work Chris. I'm available from Sat if you want to take a look together. Maybe we see if we can use Tony's runway later in 2015 or preferably summer 2016 for some Vmax runs. That would be fun and something I'm sure the owner would be interested in himself. He owns a race team afterall :-)

The expo centre is sounding like the best option for us.

Let's hope she can still make some moves on the track. Less than a week to go.

I've had a few shout outs and videos from young car enthusiasts. Not to mention the BMW and MB drivers who want to race you. The 964 has a wide appeal

The newer cars don't seem to generate the same level of interest. The Turbo is mostly overlooked by others. Guess it needs more stance/noise, and perhaps a bit of Magnus hype

Great news about the expo space.

I don't know about that... I get plenty of looks in the Cayman R, although sadly it's always the males that turn...

In my experience the bulk of Women couldn't give a toss about the finer points of cars. It just has to function, have a nice colour and fits their 'tribal' aspirations, which is good because I like my car buying to have a singular decision point.

The full 901 race from Goodwood:

The lack of bandwidth in Samoa is driving me nuts. I'll watch this over the weekend. Is this the same race Chris Harris was in?

Update on 93TRBO: Wheels and bumpers are off. They are steam cleaning and checking the body in minute detail. Two theories right now:

1. The re-colour is the most thorough they have ever seen; or

2. Possibly, the Polar Silver was painted by the factory over the Horizon Blue Metallic. Apparently it wouldnt be the first time, although I've never heard of that.

I don't know what to believe, and I suppose it doesn't matter as it's no longer my car

My partners requirements are "must have 4 doors and a nice face". Pretty sure the four door point is optional. 964's have nice faces?
