Thanks Mark and Paul. Yes those pics are when the car was new, the old boy at IMS is the friend of the original owner Bruce Bellis, he dug into his photo album and showed me these pics. Great to see!

End of an era guys.. sold the 996T to a good dude in Dunedin all of a sudden..
I shall continue to lurk, and when the new house build, new boat build and the refurb on the existing dwellings are complete, I will get something else.. even thinking of a cheapo Targa so I can stalk Graham Wong and learn all those tricks. The really quick Fraser up here has not sold, but with my dodgy old back I cannot sit in it for 5 minutes, let alone find and push those oh so close pedals.
Or I may put the dog and the lady down, and get another Pcar, but it will have to be quicker than Jake and Chris's.. got tired of looking at their bumpers on the SITT. My budget don't run to Paul or Maccas obsession. Does anybody want to buy a really nice 73'motorboat? Or a u beaut apartment on the beach in Orewa..We have decided to keep and do up the mansion and so will sell the apartment we bought a year ago 2 doors down the road.. Plans are for changing are they not?

Competition for the $ is fierce these days. Too many things to spend it on.

Is anyone needing some Castrol React SFR? The stuff is getting hard to find with supplies in NZ seeming to dry up....
I found a SI based supplier who can do a trade price $99 plus GST delivered but needs order minimum 6 bottles. I use 1 per car per year so could take 2-3 but need a co conspirator?

There seems to be quite a bit o commentary on just what the min thickness is. Some say not to skim and Adrian Streather is quoted as saying 1mm either side wear = replacement. They have at least a 1mm lip on each side so my thinking is yes they are below min thickness. The front rotors a like new so i guess that must have been replaced at some stage.
