Good to hear. Fair pissing down in One Tree Hill. Glad we don't live anywhere near cliffs or a river

Oh wait. Oakura???

Playing catchup on RL. So, a few pages back made me wonder at what stage has a new delivery miles car lost her virginity Macca?

If the upslope neighbours did come to visit, it'd be the one time you'd hope they had some flimsy prefab instead of something more solid.

Around the 17th track day?

Fine here thanks Michael, very wet for sure and down here on the flat in Kohi high tide is the biggest issue during an event.

gotta be the Turbo Paul.. remember the grin...

Good question Doug, one I spent a bit of time pondering.

Given its impossible not to put some mileage on them (they usually arrive at dealer with 16 miles before PPI), given moving them from NZ container terminal to compliance then to storage and add a few short customer test drives (say no more than 10-12km round circle motorway and some smaller roads), Ive determined that anything under 200km seems fair as delivery mileage. Maybe give or take 25km.

All my Motecca stock other than my personally registered/owned cars (GT3+GT4) are 150km or less.

You could manage less if you trailered them between the above locations but to be fair there's more chance of damage loading and unloading them than a careful 15km drive etc.

Is there some Porsche event on at Hampton Downs today? Usually don't come across any other 911s on my commute, but passed a grey 991 GTS and then Martin Dippie's orange 997 GT3 RS on the way in. Beautiful cars, the both of them.

Macca

Yes driver training Gilltraps. 6 x GT4 there today apparently and a bunch of other 911s. At least they got dry weather!

I see you have a few sold banners on the Motoecca stock Macca.
Jo's Macan didn't last long.

It will be like Paul's childhood as a developers son where no family home was safe. If it has buyer, sayonara.

Macca

Yes sold to the holding company she's a director of :-)

The white Cayman 718 S has sold. Goes South next week. First person in that looked at it bought it. Had the PCM 4.0 NZ Navi maps installed today. That car is really sharp looking. I love the way the Cayman doors are scolloped and trail air to the back intakes.

The GT3 left OCD today and is now ready to sell. Cleaned up really nice. That will be the cheapest 991 GT3 sold for a long time when it goes. I need to make space with new s

Macca

...stock arriving shortly. Anyone for a brand new Carrera 991.2 with the new trick manual box? It's a replica of my old 993 :-)
