Much better track car than a Boxster Spyder.

Hmm - I think it would look great sitting next to my 964! :-D

Everyday's your birthday when the packages start arriving. It's all for Herman. Another axle load of Brembo HP2000 pads for the SITT. Voltage Regulator for his alternator and two sets of Carrera Decals. The latter are a bit of a non event given the RSG vote. I may fit the black ones just to see what it looks like. Otherwise my garage will start to look like Macca's storage unit.

Jealous! I just learned today there is no delivery for rural addresses, boo!

Definitely interested in seeing the black decal.

Yes, a real pain when you have to go into the base to pick up the arrivals, but then again less visible to the rest of the family what's going on.

They are only $75 a pair so no harm in trying them for real. I'm a decal pro.

Swap them over on the rims L-R and you'll see a few more track days though.

John, It will be good to get some feedback on the Brembo's. What's a set worth?

Id like to buy two pieces (the 993 Cup car is a given). Out of the three others (917 #24, 962, 917) be interested in knowing others thought or preferences....
My favourite is image 2. Nice sprinting style

Edit: Nice painting style (damn iPad autocorrect fail)

Thanks mate. I think I might go into drama. I'm liking red again - ha ha.

It's interesting what tickles the soul and what doesn't. The GT3 platform is amazing, but it doesn't excite me at the moment.

Drive one. A 9,000 RPM limiter is quite addictive.

In 15 years time we will all be kicking ourselves for not buying a 996.1 GT3........
