Yes - it's pretty old now. The guy was advertising for a non PCNZ friend who had already pulled the trigger on importing one.
The R is with Giltraps.
I've been in no rush as no pressing 'need' to sell. You know how bad I am at changing my mind!
But no point in running the exercise on the 7.2 with CCS - I'd actually heard that it had sold, but maybe not.

Travel day today to get ourselves over to Timaru for what may be a wet track morning on Weds then it is forecast to fine up in the afternoon and be fine for Thursday at Ruapuna.
It is a blast and missing you guys all the same!

I think we've don't heaps more b-road drives this time John. Been lucky again with the weather. I'm keen to revisit Gentle Annies and discover Wangamomona too. Late autumn trip?

Sounds like the start of a plan. Maybe get some of the other air cooled cars out from under their dust covers!

Great to meet up with the SITT tour over the weekend and put some faces to names, too many to remember them all of course! Some great machinery on display which was a real treat and had chance to have a closer look at the Highlands day which was good, not often I have chance to look at so many different models, like a kid in a candy store! All the best for the remaining track days and early morning B road raids, safe travels guys.

A quick update on SITT. I'm sure there will tonnes of pictures and videos to follow. All cars running well but attrition has started with slipping clutch in the 964t putting Nigel out for Ruapuna today. Chris T finding a new turn of speed at Highlands and generally speaking everyone's driving has improved by degrees as the tour goes on.
Leong and I continue to trade blood noses with a 2:1 score in my favour leading into the final day. It really has been a lot of fun out there. Leong is an excellent driver with a well set up car and I've enjoyed our little sortes.
If we assume the drivers are equal (they are not but let's assume) then the GT3 makes its ground up in the straights and fast sweepers plus maybe a small amount of time on the up shifts each lap. NZ tracks usually have one decent straight and one fast sweeper on a 1.15 type track.
The mid engined cars were very effective at highlands which has the shortest straight of all four tracks and the slowest, tightest infield. It was a Cayman walk over in all classes.
I think Leong and I agree that generally for like/like driver the GT3 is 1s faster on a 1 min approx track than the GT4. The RS I'm told is 1s faster on a 1 minute track than a GT3. That's US one minute tracks. I think NZ tracks are much tighter than US ones. So with a 50k usd delta between each of the GT models for each 1s gain per minute you can see the marketing machine at play...
Anyway I thought that might be of interest to some.
We've had a most excellent time. Tonnes of pictures will be posted no doubt and some video.

Low 1.41 with the extra cork screw is the fastest in the RSG group with a low 1.40 in the bike group. One more session to run but I doubt things will change much. GT3/4 delta is 1.6s so again seems to hold true for the 1s per minute of track rule. No sure about what's happening for the after function but doubt we'll get into town much before 6...
