I load containers out of the US usually four times a year. They usually have plenty of space to top stow things like tires or larger parts. If anyone is interested I have a supplier consolidate these in Alabama, just let me know and I can advise when my next one is coming up.

In other news, my new-to-me Turbo is at Conti's getting the coolant hoses done, major service, and new clutch. Ouch.

Rumour has it:

@porschecollector on IG: I was there when it happened this morning...he didn't hit a guard rail...he slid right into his own trailer! Was giving a test drive to some gal...driving fast...hammered the breaks to avoid oncoming car...slid right into his car trailer.

I have a set here if you want them John. They're mint.
They were on my Turbo 3.6 and I got sucked into buying those flash one's for a small fortune, and mine weren't leaking either.

I was there yesterday collecting my new to me Turbo. Which one was yours?

I saw Macca's there and pinched the wheels. Don't worry Mark, mine look better than I thought they would on yours.

Yours look nice mate. Engine out isn't that bad really.
I have no idea what was done before I bought it but they did a lot to give it the approved warranty. They never offer the paperwork explaining what was done.
But if they did the hoses, thats a good thing.

Looking at replacing the eggshell trackday helmet finally, Something more reassuring safety wise, with future HANS ability. It will be a NZ purchase as the US sites are working out fractionally more expensive now with duty included for almost everything.

What is the consensus on open face vs closed options, bear in mind this is just for the RSG trackdays, the Bell K1 seems like a good closed option and the glasses fit on ok. The Open face option is a ARAI GPJET 3 from Chicane. The fit seems very good and very balanced design with the extended pieces that help distribute weight much more than other open face options. What are the other go-to models?

^^^ It's a personal thing Sam.

I personally prefer an open face helmet, but are the first to acknowlesge a closed face is safer??
