Any Rennlisters from New Zealand?

Thanks Jamie for the heads up on the tyre rack. I went this afternoon and got one. Assembled and fully packed up with tyres and gear it has been a big improvement and packs the tyres away so well , with or without the shelving insert. Just a bit heavy for me to handle on my own so need a few days to recover after unloading it 
Can recommend to all who desire a bit of order in their garage.

A great day. Thanks to Doug for suggesting it. I did four Playday sessions and 30 laps racing. I'm knackered, in a good way.
Our day started early with BB2 and BB iced up because they were outside. Air temp in first Playday session was 3C. Cold dense air and dry are worth the frigid start.
With BB2 I recorded 1.24.97. The fastest I had done before was. 1.26.26 in the Grinch at the one hour masters. Neil did the fastest time in BB2 that day of 1.25.73. I will neatly write my name in white pen
With the R I took it easy at first. The best way to describe it is 'alive'. It wants to turn and I need to learn how to keep it straight. 1.19.56 was my best time today and is the fastest I have driven myself at HD. It definitely has more in it, however I want insurance, track pads and track rubber to make it workable. Best Vmax was 202km/hr which is starting to feel a tad fast.

Well done John, some good times today and stretching the legs of the R would certainly make for a memorable Sunday. Just goes to show how many variables there are to a good lap time on track but 3 degree air and dry track conditions should have given you a bit more power. Late braking is definitely the way to get better times. I noticed this whilst watching Racing Ray at the 800. Late and hard seemed to be the way he did every corner. I thought I was as braking hard, but not like him.

Mine were off the first production line, and predictably they ran late, so about a month. If they have their production runs on schedule and possibly have them in stock I wouldn't expect more than 1 to 2 weeks.
Oh, mine got stopped by customs and I had to pay GST

Forecast for Saturday still looking a tad wet. I won't be putting Z221s on Herman at this rate. Bring your 4wd if you have them

They do. Search the threads in the 993 forum. Lots of discussion there. Just pays to double check on the model you buy. I'm not buying one soon... just on the wish list when $$ permit.
