Not a fun way to start. Hope the fix is easy & tire still usable, PEL.

Should have setup some Top Gear-style challenges for you last three - handed out in white envelopes along the way.

Definitely another smile straightening required. Judging by the fur on the splitter it didn't end well for the possum. Bummer. Not out to build up bad karma. However pretty much unavoidable travelling at night.

Healthy breakfast choices next to the start of goodbye pork pie.

Just flew over you and Cape 40 mins ago was in the jump seat with the 767 pilot who is a mate for the landing. Weather looks good ahead. I waved they wouldn't tip the wings tho! Safe driving.

You have an empty space on that plate which needs one of the following:
1) Hot sauce
2) Watties Spaghetti
3) Baked Beans
4) Biscuits & Gravy ('murican style)

Enjoy the day!!

Just got the 993 back.

MUCH MUCH happier. Far more nimble. The RS engine and Solid tranny mounts transfer just the perfect amount of noise and vibration into the cabin (was far too quiet before).

I can't believe how much the SW chip improves throttle response. It didn't boggie until over 4,000rpm and 'felt' slow and larthargic compared to the C3, now comes in at 3,000rpm and far more energetic.

To anyone with a 964 or newer, I swear by chipping and RS engine mounts to improve the sportiness of your car.

Roll on tomorrow.....

Doug - I'm loving the cup II's.

With the exception of speedlines, these are my fav's at the moment.

I'm about to go trout fishing on the Waipapa river in Northland. One minute in and I've seen multiple fish.

Lots of concrete in use for repair of the roads on the way up. Glad it's not raining...
