How do you change the firmness?

Exchange the bushings. 3 sets; street, sport & race. arguably 9 settings!

I was wondering if it might have been a truck tyre down the side?

Certainly looks like something of that nature. Imagine it wasn't an enjoyable experience regardless.

Hope the Targa crew have had a great day out on the roads. Headed out for a B road blitz this morning, weather was perfect.

As a detailer i'm a big fan of Larry's. Not only because he shares the wealth but also because he's a Porsche nut and drives a 964. This video is not really about detailing. Its about the car. His enthusiasm is palpable.

Its worth streaming on a big screen. If it was my half mil i'd want somethings a bit different, however, the car is stunning.

Brilliant day on the targa tour today. Dry, sunny and fast. No damage amongst our lot. Tomorrow the last run is 2-3x normal length, about 70km so that will be challenging on concentration, tyres and brakes. Lots of happy faces tonight.

Watching Nurburgring 24hr, snippets of Targa and reading about cars has done nothing but make me want to tour and track more. We need to start thinking about the next weekend run and RSG track day (happy to help organise).

Warwick, that video is great. He couldn't hide his excitement if he tried. Always enjoyable watching someone present on a topic they're passionate about.

This car was on the market within the last 12 months for much less than the current asking price http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used...-889631006.htm

I almost bought this around 10 years ago for around $90k from Archibald's in ChCh

That one is going to sit for a very long time at that price.

Targa over and Paul and I home, sated. Here's pics of the lineup for that long stage today that Doug mentioned. First 5 kms was epic, then good for another 10 or 15 before things slowed down to 6 or 7 tenths for the rest of the run due to some organisational issues or something. Had fun waving at every spectator along the rest of the stage though.

The Gallardo had a very nice backside to look at for this mega-stage.

Seems a bit odd that the same seller has listed a 993 Turbo for the same price.

Walt, saw you going through Huntly this afternoon while we were heading back to Hamilton. The yellow beast was hard to miss, being a spot of brightness in a sea of grey traffic!

Hope to hear from some others once they've recovered.
