John. I dont know a car of that description......ah, you mean the 10/7th car?

Questions (serious) though Paul. What will you do with the C3 now?

Sheesh - I missed that! Did you ever get any bites/offers?

Been meaning to talk to Sam about some more creative T-shirt options. Thinking that there have been some enduring phrases uttered over the past year or so. The concept of a "Dave" and "7/10ths - Yeah Right" being just 2 that deserve to be immortalised on cotton.

Paul has the SITT to look forward to. He won't escape.

Gave a couple of test pilots a drive. A guy in Wellington who I think crashed a black 911 Turbo a few years before that, and a Porsche 996 owner that lived in Dave's house to next to it. No offers. Clint says he had little interest in his car from NZ, so I probably did well

I met the new owner of the C3 at the Festival of speed. Although I don't think Paul is counting his chickens until money changes hands. A good buy for the new owner.

OK, so PSS10's and ARB's cost is approx 4.5K, so for the record suspension rebuild with coil overs is circa $6-6.5K. Allowing for some rubbers etc.

John - what is the koni coilover option costing you?

I don't recall mentioning Konis or any other suspension items


BTW: 996TT wheels and tyres have been sold. Watch out for a man on a mission at Uncles. Ugly rims and sticky tyres should see him running over ripple strips and carving up the Hondas.

Love those ideas Pete.

"Saving a Dave" needs to be printed over the image of a camo cap.
The 7/10ths would look good as the Tui bill board

I recall John started out defending his spend (back at the $35K mark) with comments about buying Donna shoes. I reckon shes the new Imelda Marcos now. Maybe something like "It cost me alot of shoes to be here today" against a pencil line drawing of a Jimi Choo with 3" heel for wearing at the track day under the race suit.

There has to be another couple of ideas out there. Could be a fun online project....

Good - I will need a bit of time to recover from the financial drain of building a new house...........

Ha ha, yep, Paul's a good target, I mean deviation. :-P

Talk about red mist descending......

I will sell it and buy a race car in about 12 months.

Sam's initial designs as displayed at Puke are very nice - I think Doug snaffled one straight away? A black 911 on grey T with Rennsport Gruppe below it. the other was a simple white with red lettering on the front and sleeve.

I reckon we'll have plenty of fun on tour thinking up a few more designs.

OK, so we have a chip, new bushings and coilovers for the SITT.

You must have been looking at the line up and decided you didn't want to be last..........
