Not sure whether to cage it or sell it. I now have a roadie - next is a race car, the question is how quick I can get the 911 by stripping out weight.

I don't know if you could get it down it 1.16's to compete with 944 S2's and the cost would be more than a 944 race car to get there, so one has to wonder why not just go buy a 944 (other than it's not a 911, doesn't look as cool as a 911 or sound like a 911)...............

But they do go around a corner better than a 911................

Watching the Magnus video - I feel like just back dating, putting a set of early cobra seats like John's in and have a back date long hood hot rod........

I would think the fact that you still have a 911in the garage would make the 'ugliness' of a 944 on track bearable... just...

Or sell the C3, buy the 964 race car, work a deal to keep it at HD and bring it out when needed.

Nothing wrong with 944's mate - don't be too harsh........

.............it's just not a 911..............(there is no substitute, even though there are better performing cars)

I actually think the 944 is quite a sexy car, in the right colour. And yet, I'm the first to admit that if you park one in a group of 911's it always looks like the fat ugly sister...

What has been seen cannot be unseen. Not your clip but the reminder in the side panel that Wheeler Dealers are still filming. I'm going to invest 43 minutes of my life watching the Uracco program, which will no doubt lead to more time wasting.

Not sure. Show it to your wife for a second opinion. She's bound to know

Here's one for you John.............

I think we need to take bets on which of your fleet is first to go (be replaced)

My pick is the TT with C4 be reverted to daily duties........

With a heavy heart I thought I'd let everyone know that Kohi is about to lose one of its 911s. We're moving to Hong Kong in the new year so my 92 964 turbo is going up for sale. And my S4 Avant. And several mtn and road bikes. Etc, etc, etc. Sigh. Love it here but the work environment just doesn't work for me unfortunately. Keeping the house so may be back in a few years.

If you know anyone looking for a very low miles, cobalt blue turbo please let me know. Also will be unloading my AC jack and cross beam adapter. Will all be going on Trade Me when I get around to taking some pics.

Wow, that's pricey isn't it? $80k plus shipping and GST it would be close to $95,000 landed and registered wouldn't it?

Sorry to hear that but as someone based in Singapore I know where you are at. Next time I'm up in HK I will hit you up and see if you're around for a beer.

A hot rod that goes pretty quick around the track. Need Sam to design the MW like colour scheme too. It would be pretty wicked.
