It gets driven every now and then, the owner doesnt have a lot of spare time. It followed some stages of the Hawkes Bay legs of the Targa this year.

No, different car, and different colour.

Looking forward to my first HD experience (sans car) getting to know the track & facility.

ChrisB has graciously offered a spot as passenger as long as my noggin fits a spare helmet. Thanks!

See you in the AM.

Will be good to see you there. I may have to get used to multiple GP White 964s in the line up next year!

Tomorrow's convoy is looking good. Red C2, White C4, Cobalt Blue 3.3 Turbo, Maritime Blue 3.3 Turbo, Silver Turbo 3.6 and last but least Pete's 944. I have bought a GoPro to capture the convoy and some more action at the track tomorrow. Hopefully it will eclipse my previous efforts and get more RSG members out there next year.

After rearranging work to get a chance to come join this session my car has decided that's not what I should be doing and developed a rather strange "chirp". Thought it was the new drive belt but it's coming from somewhere else. Really want to come down but not keen on pushing it until I get it in for a diagnosis. Don't want to create more of a problem if one really exists!

Anyone know how long that Carrera GT is going to be around CCS? Wouldn't mind paying a visit and checking it out.

I'm starting to get excited now. Here's pics of the car waiting to be picked up. This is how it will roll off the container in NZ. ETA is mid- Jan.

Doug you will love this. This is the first 10km of my 95km course today. Type in Rapallo as start and Bobbio as finish to see what 95Km of very twisty valley passes look like. Key challenges will be narrowness of road, changing surface conditions and oncoming traffic. Of least concern will be speed limits (the roads are mainly 50-70 up here) as the Italians it would seem celebrate flouting the rules! My kinda place!

Haha. The worst bit is that we see more of its butt as you go past

Looks like another hot one tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if we are still a second down on normal time. Suggest you stay well away from my cars tomorrow. The Turbo 3.6 tyres are old, ok for the road but unpredictable for how they will run on the track. As for the C4, I want to try Steve's method through the sweeper. At some stage I'll likely lose it.

Jake, while it would have been good to see you, any noise that you are concerned about means it's crazy to put in on the track.

As for the GT, I think it was still there when I picked up my 996TT this evening, so likely there tomorrow and Monday.

Yeah it is mate. Overland to LA then boat down. Worst case scenario is Jan 22. Hoping it's sooner so we can meet up and shake it down at HD when we're both in town!
