Despite past reservations over the quality of stories, I'm happy to be called a hypocrite as it appears that 93TRBO will appear in a Total 911 feature on the Turbo 3.6.
I also floated the idea of a story on the car flow to/from the UK and NZ. They seem interested so will work out how to get a pic of as many cars together as possible. Sing out if it interests you. Of course I have no control over what they print.

Let me know.

Here's a comparison: https://rennlist.com/forums/wheel-an...ml#post7052820
The circle around the spokes has grown on me. It fills the visual gap between the brake rotor and the rim.
(I'm convinced that a lot of BBK upgrades are fitted by people because of that visual gap)
B1tch to clean though. Considering getting mine painted black or gunmetal...

Don't know how he does it - works insanely hard, doesn't turn up for Friday practice and 1.17 straight out of the box in quali and 16's in the race. Awesomely well driven!
No safety cars today and only a few sector yellows - perfect weather for driving. Cool dry winter day - can't beat it. Think we all finished all 3 races of the series - score 1 for 944 reliability. Had a prime pit spot by the track entry so should be a few photos later.
Quality of the field was way up this year - some heavy duty machinery filling the top 10 places and a big speed differential. If it continues that way they may either have to split the field or put a max speed for entry.
After thinking we were going to run the old track that turned to custard after 15 of the field (mostly the top cars) smashed the noise level in the back straight. So a hasty rule change and it was back to the new layout with the kink (hence the speeds noted above for Chris.)
Would I sign up again tomorrow for next year - you bet! Except it sounds like there will be a Cayman in the field....
Matt - need to see you here doing it. Last year was a disappointment for sure but just bad luck I reckon.

Thought this was a private seller thing but looks like it afflicts the main dealers too. $89.9k when listed a day ago and +$5k on that now. Must have had a few enquiries.....

Thanks, I'll note that down and come back for a paragraph at least.
