How'd that happen?

I'd be glad to figure out an interesting route :-)

I don't know, I have only seen it from the pit wall when an apartment garage door was open. It was a PCNZ day, and I remember someone telling me it lives there - circa 3 years ago.

I have old photo's of that car too - circa 1986-87.

I'm a fan of pearl white, but in this case it's probably just a fogging lens. Was an hour+ in 25F getting loaded, blocked & trying to get the crew to use the right tie-down points. I'm still cold eight hours later.

Then you'll appreciate 26 deg C here at the moment - although not forecast to hang around. Brilliant start to summer!

Christopher, have you sourced H4 headlights yet with RHD glass? If you get stuck I have two lights I swapped out of the Turbo 3.6 you can use while you work it out. One of the mirror bowls lost its shine so I replaced both. They are not cheap new but clear eyes make a car.

There you go Michael. 2.01.016. Given I didn't set up the AIM properly at Taupo you'll have to work out where the start finish is.

Lots of different options, but nothing locked in yet. I've got some travel planned and won't start anything until April 2014 at the earliest. I might even have enough time for a little project with Steve R for Targa next year...........

Chris. Congrats. Sounds like a very exciting time. I never regretted leaving the corporate world.
