Whats up with the photo sizing? I'm guessing some of the pics are being uploaded via a phone at full size. I'm reading this using a real computer and they are massive and can't really be viewed in all there glory. When viewed from a phone they get scaled fine

Missed Johns email and Jakes brilliant timing due to moving on whilst waiting for David's 56MB picture to download (17 minutes still going on the coconut wireless). Well done, nicely timed!

Agreed Pete. I'm prepared to put my money where my mouth is and give a Gayman a go. Id like to drive it in anger and see what gives. Im thinking to pay the extra and do the driver training pickup on it at Weissach first. Id like to know what's going on at the limit. If I don't know that Ill be a little less inclined to push on. John, suggest getting it out on the wet Gymkhana course next month and giving it a boot full. Maybe you can report back for us :-)

Well at least the coloured driving gloves will have found their natural home...

I had that thought for the last one, but no more gymkhanas for me. The last one was so wet it taught me nothing except that I get bored quickly with memorising convoluted patterns.

Yes. Easiest and cheapest way to find out how many ways your car likes to squirm out from under you. You can play catch the nose and tail all day for next to nothing, and with pretty much only the cones at risk.

I took him in for his WOF this morning. A pass, albeit my high stop light isn;t working. I need to get that fixed and the exhaust cut out installed for the East Cape run. A 964 with no mufflers is going to be Macca level noisy.

If you think the PCNZ ones are convoluted, don't try the Nissan Z Club's. I loved them but several runs had reversing sections and all. One of them started with a 60 odd metre straight into a garage box box that that you had to reverse into, so I discovered that Turbos launch very well backwards. Wasn't going to try for a bootleg turn on the Ardmore cheesegrater surface.

Hey hey it was all in jest and someone had to liven the page up from house prices etc. I'm sure the Caymans will be passing a few 911's come NITT
