I'd say you will be sub 1.20's.

Enjoy the car............

Bugger, as soon as John gets up to speed.......I'm gonna be the slowest one.
Nah Paul..that'll be me..
Reading all this has sent me broke and whimpering to the garage..

I hope you've ordered it with the clubsport pack including the half cage so you can give us all rides around the track!

Can I give you a ring, have yr mob, and you can refesh me re putting banner on the car
Phil, no probs, but can you ring during the weekend when I'm not in the office? Open plan office and talk of Porsches doesn't go down well.

BTW: I suspect I'll be fitting a few at HD on the 31st. Happy to fit yours for you then. You'd just have to get in line.

Now I remember! Luckily we have a waiting list of 1 (Nigel in Rob's old GT3) ready to go.

Oh I'll be there with the popcorn going by the sounds of the ultra competitive 996/964/GT3 dueling that seems to be going on... Especially in the wet!

I'll be there getting some of the RSS mounts installed by Dan (If John's banner business is prepared to share the garage.) Made the decision to give it a rest this time as we had a few others looking for some track time and the track tour is only a couple of weeks after.

[QUOTE=Macca;10705072 I made that decision when I decided I will likely move to a GT3 in 2014. I made that decision 12 months ago then booked the Targa,[/QUOTE]

Macca - 2014 is only a few months away brother. 996 or 997?

Pete,

997's are starting to become quite cheap, $60K looks to be the new bench mark for the early ones.

This if funny. Only in Vanuatu. Mate of mine calls me yesterday lunchtime and says he was chatting to an AFP mate over lunch in Vila and gave me a huge run down on the cocaine haul. Boat has been siting in a Vila boat yard for last two years and was put to tender earlier this year as it had originally been abandoned after being seized and cleared. A 5 figure bid won it. Probably the original supplier buying back his dope. Big haul though and guessing it would be a record even in NZ.

Looks like its grandads old 1989 Ford Laser for the SITT now guys...

There were big searches of yachts in my time on the Rock. I wouldn't be surprised if the boat was under surveillance for some time. Port Vila. A sunny place for shady people. Macca and I excepted.
