Doug will get the best out of that car. No pressure Doug but can't wait to click my Rundenmeister stopwatch at HD at under 1.20. Old school style.
Time for a new race kit that fits with the longhood. Open face, goggles, stringbacks, cream coloured onesie with light blue arm and leg side stripes. They used to wear their civvy loafers too didn't they?

Doug, I knew it wouldn't be long until you monstered a few GT3's. Did you take Matt under brakes, around the outside, or just drive by under power? What sort of a gap did you pull out after that shot was taken? Looks like a great time. If you do it again, would you do the long drive or the transporter option?
I'd do the drive, always.
The C2 was comfortable... Air con working, road tyres, suspension dropped to soft end of the scale, plus fancy lumbar support. Not as comfortable as a modern car, but very enjoyable all the same.
A real bonus I wasn't expecting were the eyes, waves, encouraging comments and interest the car drew... Especially when John and I were touring in the pair of 964s. People everywhere loved them.

Thanks John. Much appreciated. I need to learn from Doug. Overtaking GT3s would have its photogenic advantages. Just doesnt look the same when the GT3 has just overtaken you like in my shot - looks a bit lonley :-(

I will post the odd random picture here on progress. Just for interests sake only and it might spark a few more of you gentlemen into a trip to longhood happiness. I might do a thread on early 911s registry.org later as the build gets close to finishing. I've really enjoyed reading about all the builds and experiences and some fantastic end results. If you see not much going on it will be because Steve will have not done much. Pressure duly applied.

I just bought a tonne of vintage style race suit patches to have sewn onto my white & blue Sparco for a bit of fun. I already drive at the track with old school leather (possum leather) driving gloves made by a crowd on the WestCoast.

I have a number of pairs of these in fairly crazy colour combos but must confess have ruined a pair on the 2012 targa and another on the SITT so start to use my modern Sparco driving cloves I bought but never took out of the bag....
Anyway heres my favourite patch purchase. I think it will go breast front and centre....Im sure you will approve Dave...

Here is a good article about tyres for our cars (specifically Michelin).

Graeme. The Macca Cup (now Plate) is awarded to the person who makes the biggest fool of themselves on a tour.
On the NITT it was Paul when he inadvertently started playing with wires under his dash while driving to Taupo in convoy.
On SITT it was looking like Matt after he spun into the kitty litter at Highlands and had to be towed out....but with a passenger on board - the wife of a supplier who was a bit nervous but wanted to go around the track in a "race car".
Paul snatched the cup back in a fluke move. At levels tech inspection the cup fell out of his trunk as he scrambled to show the battery compartment. He subsequently ran over and flattened it on his way out. It too a further 30 minutes for the establishment to locate the cups rightful owner. I was with Paul when he was asked if it was his. We both looked at each other, wet ourselves laughing and realised Paul had just secured his second tour of Macca Cup duty. I actually think we may never have to scribe his name on it again, just the years and the events name. Infact we should start calling it the Miller Cup....:-)

So who got paid to wrap their 911 in gold?
