Its got well out of hand. I can ship my car to Europe and enter a classic/vintage w day rally for $6555 (getting the car home would be another thing..).
Hey mate. That's how I read it initially and thought flip are they kidding! Hence my comment about the cost not being "clear" on the main page. As a business/website its a shocker. Because when you click through to the enter event section the price shows as $600? However I do notice it says "spectator" in the top left corner. Were they ever taught the KISS principle?!?

I guess thats just the deposit?

At $1,900 + GST for the Tour plus the $100 + GST medical levy they are smoking crack. Even with it being close to home I would rather spend that on trackdays and tuition.

Hi mate. Yes the $600 is the standard CC deposit they take at the beginning. The site is shocking. Too much crack not enough html.

Hot damn that looks like a 993 that's hit a power pole! Good to know the 20 year old airbags still work! One more for Steve R then :-)

Paul Im pretty sure thats Michelle (Mackrels) old 993 Cab tipo (hers had the 18s with clear front and red rears with grey interior and Im pretty sure those door handles and the dial rings will be the giveaway?).

Pity it's not a manual, could potentially make a good donor for a hot rod project.

I initially thought the same too, but Michelle's was manual.

Scott has a spare manual box. Talking to Razzo, the problem is peddle boxes, more than manual boxes. Steve used an aftermarket one of the blue wide body car.

I contacted Scott this week about that box (checking out all options if Herman's box is expensive to repair). He is a seller, but it's not cheap and has a notchy second gear. Unless you have mechanical aptitude and a Razza spare parts bin it is far cheaper to buy a car in good condition.

Sorry to come into the conversation a bit late...... Paul what about a straight swop. Your two for mine?
Failing this .... Am I the only one who thinks a 996 hot rod could be a bit of fun? At least the start point is affordable and available. Could also take the idea to places no one has gone before.

Mate - I know the 996 has cow eyes and the 993 isn't the classic shape of the 964, but both for the 44 is a bit too harsh...........

Might have to have a chat?
