Doable for Friday on the road registered and insured but unlikely.
Agree very unlikely. Btw - meant that I'd ordered 214s for the 944 (not Cayman!)

Yeah I know him Pete. He was following my threads through Europe. Nice enough guy but from memory first time 911 owner and most are saying driver error (i.e. through a light). Im sorry but I drove that car at speed in the wet, cold, sometimes ice and snow in the tightest windiest roads I could find in Europe and its rock solid - they tyres are amazing (as good as my Z221 in the wet). Id have to be really hauling, very unlucky or a very inexperienced 911 driver to **** it up with that car....

Its good value. I dont know it as it came in a long time ago and ended up in CHCH which is the "Bermuda Triangle" of cars IMO. Shame the pictures arent better as its had top tell much. Its C4 NVR. Wouldnt interest any 964 owners but if the silly gemballa side strakes were removed and it was given some love Im sure it would make a fair long term investment.

The new weaponry has arrived from the US, finally picked it up today. First job was getting the stickers off. Tomorrow it's off to the dyno, will update with numbers after that.

Chris- thanks for the loan of the trailer. It's brilliant!

A new king 964. What do you think it will be capable of at HD?

No idea to be honest. We will start to get an idea next Wed when we shake it down though.

Glad I'm in the Normal group and get to watch you using the other cars as road cones.

Awesome! Looks like you're breaking it in with a ritual bath of gasoline!

Can't wait to see it.

Nice car Sean. I really look forward to seeing this on the track.

Can I have a go in the passengers seat (I have no shame - I know).

The 993 looks like a bargain @ $55K

Bloody vinyl glue. Got it off with an old credit card and alcohol everywhere else but needed petrol for the hood!

No worries, I have a couple of passengers but I'm sure there'll be time.
