What do you mean by this - does a C4 have different brakes to a C2?

Yes, 4 pistons pots in the rear, as compared to 2 piston pots in the C2

Gutted, instead of enjoying a meet and greet as well as pushing my car for the first time at HD I'll be entertaining customers at a Christmas function :/

And running a $1 reserve auction is asking for trouble. Although as a buyer it's a god send, without someone being willing (naive/brave enough) to do so I wouldn't be in my car today.

Paul. All LHD in the USA of course.

John its a targa car too but to be honest I dont see any issue with owning a LHD car in NZ especially if its mainly a competition or occasional driver.

The C4-C2 quote from Steve was a little open ended if I recall. From memory it hadnt done it before. The ABS controllers & a few electronic bits need attention to IIFC.

Mine's LHD and I love it! Much easier to park

Also means my fuel flap release and engine lid release are in the "right place"

If you want to scratch that HD itch then we still have a spot open on 14 Dec in the RSG group. Plus a few spots on either 11 Jan @ HD and 27 Jan @ Pukekohe...

Doug - over to you...
Thanks Pete (I think)!

So, talking on Sunday a few of us were keen to get an earlier start, still get a decent length drive, but try to keep the afternoon free for family (Christmas shopping?) commitments.

So, the current plan is meet at smales farm car park at 8am (yikes you say) and depart there at 8.15am for a sweet run around B roads north of Auckland before a lunch at 12.30 ish.

I'm working on the route and we can decide where to end up once I've got that sorted.

So far we have (I may have missed someone):

Pete
Macca
Phil
Paul
Doug
Dave
Chris

John (for the lunch part, unless we can twist your arm to sneak off early)?

Post here for anyone missed out or if you can't do the early start.
