You boys must be knackered, and two track days in a row? Hope cars and drivers can hold together for a little longer!

Look forward to hearing about Levels when you've got the time/energy.

Just missed your post Doug, thanks for uploading those pics and also to Paul for taking them. If Paul was taking photos, who was driving his 993? And is that duct tape keeping Matt's car together?

I think that was Dan? Driving Paul's car. Matt ripped his front spoiler off when entering the kitty litter at Highlands, refixed it then ripped it off again in the Hermitage car park entrance at Mt Cook. The tape was to help preserve it. We've done well so far. No major issues during the track days.

Wish I had got myself better organised to collect a few more goodies.
Dave, they are superb..

Great photos. Love those early morning runs when the roads are empty and the suns rising.

I highly recommend using www.shipito.com to ship purchase goods from the USA. Helps reduce the intl. shipping costs and potential duty/tax.

Also noticed when logging into it recently that they have a new warehouse in Austria. May be useful to some of us, depending on internal EU shipping rates.

Not sure how smart it is posting a pic of you speeding.

John, the cup (or should I say plate) might just be yours yet??

For those on the SITT have fun a Ruapuna today. At least you don't have to deal with the 'dipper'...

Is that some sort of GoPro mount or a number 8 wire repair on the back?
