Quite good, watch from 15:00. Paul, there is no shame apparently in owning a 348, there are a few on trademe and seem well priced.
Not sure if this clip of Harry's has been discussed earlier.

Thanks for posting Dave, quite a good watch. I don't mind 348's, my dad had one for a while, but I don't lust after one,.......but given they are half the price of a 308, I would look at a quality one.

Truth be told, I will quietly wait for 308's to come down. Everyone I talk to say they are over-priced, I'm hoping this is the case and they soften over the next year or two. It will give me some more time to save up and hopefully the delta is somewhere in the middle.

I read the T article the other day. It was a good read and quite in-depth.

I hope that 308's come back too, will be my first Fazza if I ever get the chance. Failing that, an Alfa GT Junior with similar restomod treatment to my 911 T.

The article on the 911 T turned out pretty good, Richard did well there with photos and capturing the essence of the build. The T will enter the next phase now as part of the fix up with a few subtle changes here and there

Really looking forward to trying that car after reading so much about it. Hope it's not a disappointment. I'll give my honest opinion here when I've had some seat time...
Yes they do seem to have upped their game, the new Raptor looks pretty awesome. The Ranger is the top selling vehicle here in NZ now I believe.

In fact upon looking up the figures it seems utes make up the majority of the top ten which is quite surprising to me.

i think you are right. Not much better than a red IB car sitting right. Thinking about getting a set of 15's and balloon tyres to authenticate and slightly backdate mine little more.

15's on period profile tyres. I wouldn't want to go any lower than this - have scrapped a couple of times on the protector tray

Great shots of your T Dave. Those self-made patinated leather custom seats and door skins really make her inside. Looking forward to reading the article when I track down the right NZ autocar. Figure it's the January edition as I have the December already, but so far it seems January has sold too well over the holidays.

^^Also digging that fullsize shot of your machine Graeme.

What tyres are you running there Graeme?
My 911T is too low for road on 205-50-15's but fine on 195-65-15's.
The "plus one" or in this case minus one for the SC going from 16 to 15 would most likely equate to 205-60-15 F and 225-55-15 R.

Thanks Walt, yes, January edition. I haven't seen many left in the shops, must have sold well.
