Pete has posted a new thread on the RSG board for the Sunday 9th March drive up to Langs Beach to meet the Cape Reinga adventurers on our return. I've since posted a suggested route and meeting place at the start and where to meet us for lunch at Waipu (a few k's north of Langs Beach).
Also, anyone else interested in the Cape Reinga run on the 7th-9th March we've booked accommodation for those confirmed (6 of us) so those who expressed interest (Paul, Matt, and a few others) now the time to commit and secure accommodation. The itinerary and all details are posted on hue he RSG board.
Confirmed we have:
John M
Michael D
Chris M
Mark P
Pel - through to Paihia
Myself
Three more weekends to go then we're on the road :-P

4 out of 6 are 964.
There's a trend building!

Dave. You are D90 maniac. Those wheels died with American Pie once drilled brake discs and red callipers became De rigour (964T onwards 1993) LOL!
John. 4 are white 4 are 964 and lets hope 4 little piggies go wee wee wee all the way home!
As Paul will attest the only trend building is those who dont have the good enough taste to buy a 993 ;-)

I hope we all finish the SITT in one piece, however history is not on our side with this one. Air cooled and water pumpers suffered alike on the NITT. That's why I think we should all be sorting our vehicles before the big run starts and am sure most are. The run to Cape Reinga is a perfect test. So far my alternator is working ok. New Z221s will go on after the 26/2 twilight and I have new pads etc. Oil was recently changed, brakes bled. It's all looking good.

In 13 years Blue Betty has never let me down once John and she bloody well isn't going to let me down on SITT so you can keep your Karma for Herminator LOL! If Betty soils herself there is a white 490bhp beast that will be watching her space!

We need to be somewhat self sufficient considering how far we are going from towns e.g. Cape Reinga. Certainly hook and straps. Maybe an alternator belt and basic tools to do our own small fixes. Some spare fluids, a DME relay. The one I'm not sure about is a spare tyre. Are you running 18"? Between us it would make sense to take one front and one rear full spare. I'm not letting anyone near my Fuchs if I get a flat.

Chris. Once you become a regular customer of CCS you can have "Porsche Assist" for free.Hopefully one of the others on the trip do. Call them and they wills send out a contracted tow truck. They will know to send something that can handle a low car.
The spare factory blow up wheel will work fine even if you are running 18. Same rolling diameter...there should never been a good reason for removing it when touring as it provides a significant part of the front trunk rigidity during a frontal crash. Otherwise just go as you would on any typical long tour (two rope, 1l oil, DME and pantyhose (oops I mean fan belt)....

Sean. They do mate. Opposite problem exists.
Average price in UK for a straight mid mileage 993 is now into the 30K GBP. Thats around 70K NZD. Ask Paul and youll find that well within the NZ buy price range....
964s are still cheaper in NZ than the UK. Tthats where the delta is.
If 993 and 964 were exactly the same price for mileage and condition in NZ I have not doubt we would see a wider ownership.
Someone has to stick up for the 993 on this board. Otherwise all we will hear about is 964s...:-)
