Really nice Car with an interesting look , owner is local to me and I have looked over it recently , appears to have sold already?

 

I'm sure it's really nice, but that's almost 997 Turbo money...

 

True , lots of choices at that level , but guess it depends which generation of Porsche floats your boat..

 

Does anyone have a black surround (x 1) for a euro size number plate that I can steal???

 

I do Matt. It came from a dealership and is an entire bracket to hold the plate. I can send it down or bring down next month if that's what you're looking for.

 

Why is it so quiet here all of the sudden?

 

My work is sending a st Johns ambo to the islands shortly and spied this familiar GT4 at Giltraps when they went to inspect the ambo.

 

A number of reasons:

1. The normal lull after the SITT

2. Fewer mods/car changes/events to talk about

3. Some traffic has moved to FB, particularly the air-cooled brigade

4. Some historically active posters aren't posting much e.g. Macca.

Personally I can't be pfaffed with Rennlists crappy posting platform, especially for pics and videos. FB walks all over in that regard.

 

I am kinda new to FB and while I see the benefits, I find you have to dig kinda deep to find the coherent thread. There are also a lot more people on the FB threads so it feels more public (even if it isn't) and less intimate. I miss the old active drivel on this thread.

Have given up on sub 2kg battery Nirvana so have settled for the 5kg HC20 option again which I know gives me enough reserve power, fits, I can jump it if I am dim and leave the lights on, and I have a charger for it Stand down the push starters for Taupo.

 

There's gotta be zero chance of that GT3 going above 300k??

 

Yes it's pretty optimistic I should think for a non clubsport that would have sold new for 290k including options in late 2014. Might be keeping mine a while longer....

 

This video on Bugatti (EB110 car and factory) is perhaps one of the best things automotive Ive watched for a long while....got to love the passion the Italians have for Automobiles!

Just visited the largest Porsche dealership in the State and the first with the "Classic Porsche" showroom. Quite an amazing experience compared with the NZ dealers as you can imagine. Spent some time with the Classic Manager who was very good to show us around including the owners PTS 991 GT3, 993 (he has a 918 and a 911 R to shortly arrive etc). Very nice crew there and great experience. Will post more photos when on PC including the price cards etc...
