Yesterday I bumped into my Fathers old GF who owned the other NZ new 993 Targa manual. She told me the old plate of the car so I thought I would share it with you:

Heres the last of the ones I thought might be of interest to you....
Porsche turbo 3.6 brochure is very collectable especially the NZ/UK one (as opposed to the much more common USA one). $90. Good condition. This will go on ebay today.
Porsche Exclusive 1993/94 covers options for 964 and 993. $25. These are hard to find now.
A French Kiss with Death (original print - now out of print). Great behind the scenes making of LeMans. Epic book - Paul you may want to add it to all the other Steve McQueen books Im holding for you? Its in good conditional although it has been read $50

Thanks John - what were the lap times on those 2 runs? Looks like Tony was holding 3rd in the straight to the sweeper whereas I'm losing speed with a late shift to 4th. Same issue on the main straight. The patten through 2 & 3 is interesting - need to work out what we are doing so differently.
Tonight, I'll look at the other data logged e.g. lateral and longtitudinal G. It's a pity I don't have a "double apexer" to compare for the sweeper.
On a seperate note, even with my underachievement on the track I'm starting to feel the inadequacy of the seating and seatbelt holding me into the car. How are you holding on, particularly with the heavy braking? I'm researching options about seats with street and track use, with more headroom. I'll pull a seat tonight to see what scope there is for more room.

As predicted, the logistics of keeping multiple cars going is proving challenging. I can fit three cars in the garage, just, but the Turbo 3.6 is going to be a blue moon Sunday car at this rate as it's the least used in my DD/Track usage and as a result ends up in a very tight parking spot. Time to put the rego on hold until Summer. In the meantime, she has a very nice set of Sports seats that would go beautifully in the C4, not to mention Big Red brakes....

Not me. I know of an Iris blue with black leather 1997 car I almost bought. Was 50k km in 2000 when I looked at it but never seen it on the roads or around. So if there is a green, black and blue one that makes three MT Targa. Id hesitate a guess at 4?

Another one for Paul?

Heres an idea, Sell the 996TT and 3.6T and buy a 997.2 GT3 as daily driver and migrate it to the track when you are up to speed...

This is increasing in appeal for me too. Given how little I'm back in NZ it would be nice to use a car as a daily driver and track toy while I'm back. The 4 puck clutch and LWF in the 964 will never allow that. It was tricky enough getting it to the xmas lunch, can't imagine what peak hour would be like!

Dads ex's car is Iris blue. She would have purchased it aorund 2003 from CCS, that would mean it would have done around 45,000kms.

Its a delimma the others do not face but the longer you are offshore Sean the more you will appreciate the reliability, lower overhead and multi use nature of these cars (only down side being some depreciation)...
I think you have to be of a certain still level to really enjoy the GT3 on the track and you are probably at that level. Food for thought I guess...
