I have completed by tropical conditioning already. I have new working air con and will use it to slow my lap times. However a tent and lots of water is a pretty good idea....

Maybe a couple of these.http://www.trademe.co.nz/home-living...1010541488.htm . Most of us likely have collapsible chairs and chilly bins. Just need some leg anchors to keep the gazebo in one place.

Same is happening in the building space right now just ask Paul or any tradie. For this reason these shops dont suit budget enthusiasts or those needing full restos on old cars.
I suspect you are right. No doubt Hasler's would do a quality job as they did when they painted the front bumper and hood of Mr Black during Jason's time. That said it was a referral from CCS so unfortunately for them they loose their part of the business as well as I'd just a soon have it done in one hit without having to mess about finding a panel guy to work with the mechanical side. Not to worry - I have a good relationship with CCS and would like to continue that for the future

It's not a big deal and I can't believe I've spent as much time as I have talking about it I have no bad feelings about any of it

You confirm there's a space and I'm sure a version of that can be done. (What's Jenni up to for the weekend? Sure we can track down a spare dirndl...!)

Sun. What some? Haven't seen much of it for the last week. Nice idea about a gazebo. I suspect there will also be a few exhibitor spaces we can use too.

Paul's idea rocks!

These were the guys at Taupo when rsg was there recently. They parked next to me. From Wellington I believe. One now has a black gt3rs. The other a white 997.1 gt3 I think. Didn't catch their names but we're a friendly bunch of guys.
