I've now got nice cool air con, a fancy lumbar support, suspension softened up, ready to cruise. Fancy for a 964!
Well - I will have to say a lot of thank you's as everyone concerned from Aironaut, MAF agent and compliance agent all pulled out the stops and delivered HHU552 late today - in time to make the transporter at 7:30 am tomorrow. Just! iPhone photo makes it look orange but I assure you it is RED. Have only had a few brief drives - maybe an hour all up this evening but it is a pretty epic drive. Doug will know the feeling. Sports seats are amazing - will be good on track. Too many electronics to figure out yet but managed to set the kmh digital speedo at least (although it was fun pretending the miles were actually kms for a while.) So now have to wait a few extra days to reunite in Chch and see the rest of the crew en route to Franz Joseph. As John says about 20 pages back - Bring It On!

Thanks guys- stress level just dropped a few notches as it turns out the 944 was no go for tomorrow transport anyway - strut replacement was going to finish after the transporter had left. May still have made it via a different route but history now.
Here comes 7/10 ths - for real.
Macca - fingers crossed mate!

Id pretty much given up in any case due to the tight time frames so have the 993 ready to go and it will be no hardship driving her although it would be nice to have the choice. If it doesnt work out then GT3 for NITT, Ill have a few goodies fitted by then too....
Very much looking forward to the drive down to QT as Im pretty sure it will provide as many highlights for the trip as the actual tracks themselves. If truth be told its Highlands that does it for me. If the old girl karks it along the way better bloody well be after Cormwell and not before!
So it looks like everything is going to plan now for all. For those travelling SH1 for the Southward journey watch out for Rossers & flying stones (window-screens).

Yes, easy to miss. Don't forget your drivers licence and indemnity sheets either (I printed 3 of each). Roll on 4:30 and let the 14 day road trip begin

Other point is to purge photos from the iPhone to ensure plenty of space to take more on the trip. You have to do this from the computer, you can't do it with just the phone.
