X GT3 X is Rob Dong, white Cup Car is Dave Allison, I think the black 944 is Andrew Stewart, gunmetal grey 944 is Phil Jones, all Wellington guys so maybe the others were from there also

Thats the Dongster and Tse (wellingtonians) day out at the track. Tse has the Black/orange 7.1 GT3RS. Nice guys.

Also Adam Young now upgraded to white 997.1 gt3 and the silver car now changed to the black 997.1 RS seen at Taupo last time I was there with RSG

Interesting GT3RS available through Spires. Pricing out of my reach, but is great to see one in blue. http://www.spirescars.co.nz/vehicle/...1-GT3/1086?s=1

Thanks Jake for posting that. Beautiful piece of kit. I'd love one too but unless it's been modded by more than just weight reduction they may be overclaiming on one performance front. If it's stock, the most that magazine tests look to have gotten out of these at the top end is 316 kph - and press cars for instrumented testing tend to be healthy examples. 310 is the official Porsche figure and Sport Auto's one topped out at 312. I wonder if they'd take it back no questions asked if it didn't hit 320?

Not that it matters of course as we're a bit short of autobahns here and they are not its natural habitat anyway.

993 Targa

Looks lovely in blue. It somehow manages to be auto and manual at the same time too. Be interesting to see if it sells at that price in CHCH.

Good old ChCh international pricing strategy in action again - Would be interesting to know what an RS is worth these days. It would have to be at least $300K, so maybe not that far overpriced??

Macca

The car is in singapore guys (hasnt been exported) and has been priced for UK market as its marketed there. The SGD is strong against NZD and the dealer wants to make 50K margin so I doubt it will sell in NZ?

Macca

Those guys are turkeys. They cant get their descriptions or pictures right and their site is rubbish. I wonder if half the stuff even is sold here?

Having just visited that page I reckon you're being kind. Though a car with Porsche mechanicals and full Ferrari interior might have some takers.

Till the rubber textured switches go sticky and the indicator stork Guido fitting Monday morning after his wife caught him having Gellatto with his girlfriend falls off....:-)

Hey John McM, what was in the squeeze bottle when you put the banner on Mr Black for me? Was it dishwashing liquid? Is this just to allow you to move the banner about a bit before you commit to the positioning?

John McM

A small amount of dishwashing liquid. Make sure you wet the screen and the trim above it (anywhere the banner can stick). You will have heaps of time to position it with that on.

Thanks mate. You all set for Monday?

looks like they have just copied the sgcarmart ad.

Roughly how it looks:

Prices in SGD

Purchase $468,800.00

ARF Value $306,036.80

car between 5 & 6 years old, 70% rebate = $214,225.76

A portion of the $39,911 COE will also be refundable.

Say $254,574.24 on the dock before shipping and insurance

Convert to NZD $267,000.00

GST on arrival $40,050.00

Total NZD $307,050.00 not incl shipping and insurance, the COE rebate must be the margin, which doesn't look like much.
