I like Scarlet mate. Cars should have girls names IMO and Scarlet is not only hot but very good at what she does....

I'm liking Scarlet - Roxanne is a little too old to be applicable to a 3.2
Will be heading down to Caffeine & Classics this morning to catch up with a few people and take a look at some metal. Hopefully see a few of you there.
RE brake issue hasn't resurfaced, so fingers currently crossed that this is the cheapest repair bill I've had (at $50).

That timeframe coincides with the last of the roadgoing Mezger/GT1 derived block cars being sold by Porsche (eg GT3 RS 4.0) doesn't it. Just one of those "you don't know what you got 'til it's gone" effects I suppose. Stock for stock the newest 991 engines perform better but the development potential of what's essentially just detuned Le Mans kit is pretty spectacular, as has been shown many times over, particularly in the States. Ultimately chased off the road by emissions regulations, Mezger blocked/GT1 derived engines are still winning the World Endurance Championship (GT Class) as recently as this year, in the 911 991 RSR: https://www.stuttcars.com/porsche-models/911/991/rsr/

In order to clean up the sticky fluffy bits around my sunroof where the seal popped off the other day, before I stick the new sticky back seal on, what do I clean the area up with that won't damage the paint?

Entries for the 2016 Porsche Festival continue to be slow guys.
I currently have 2 entries for the dual car sprints and 6 for the Porsche Regularity Trials - these road car based events are going to be cancelled unless I can drastically improve numbers over the next 2 days.
If you are planning to enter - NOW IS THE TIME, before these events are cancelled.
A summary of the events can be found on the PCNZ site under the Festival Tab:

Question for the brains trust...
If I was to offer my SC up for sale, what are peoples thoughts on the best way to "market" it?
I'm still undecided if/when I will put it up for sale, but want to prepare the car properly. The general consensus seems to be to leave the paint as is, make sure its original as possible, and try not to let the tire kickers wear me down? I'd love to keep it off trademe but that's not always an option which is understandable.
Also if anyone has any real world guess at the value of a 1980 RoW SC with 40,000
k's on a top end I'd love to hear your thoughts. I know prices are very subjective, and what I've seen recently just makes me laugh... The car runs like a top. Only has maintenance records from my ownership, and a hand written receipt for the top end, provided by previous owner.
Interior looks great, with re-trimmed seats. Exterior has had a poor respray in the past. Looks great from 10 feet. Looks poor at 2 feet.
My biggest fear is running a trademe ad, that gets lots of interest and bids, but the sale doesn't go through at the end. This never ends well.... If that happened I would probably be forced to keep the car indefinitely haha!
Any thoughts appreciated. Either on here, or by PM
