I always thought that's what made this thread one of the longest on Rennlist - Nirich just asked an innocent question and next thing there was a lesboid invasion courtesy of Macca! Ah, the glory days...

...RL is genteel by comparison. I frequented motorcycle forums during my Ducati days. Same of the carry-on over there was appalling....and funny as hell at times

Not a BMW fan mate - but yes a BMX'er from way back.

Yup - I have an 88 Haro Master and 89 Bully bash guard bike I still use. I have several other early 80's bikes like a Redline MX III, and Pantha Stud.

They hang from the ceiling over the 993 - just took this snap shot a few min's ago.........

Oops. iPhone spell check!
Sounds like a few of us have bikes hanging over our Porsches! Maybe RSG should be a pedal initiative - bunch of middle aged overweight blokes giving themselves a coronary

Is there something i'm missing about this car?? $116k?? Surely the X51 and a wing can't bump up the price that much?

As with houses sometimes the value to the seller is greater than the market will likely pay.

A low km no stories car is worth more than your average km car, but it doesn't attract this kind of premium.

I suspect the dealer has already given the owner that news and they've decided to let the market speak. I think it will be a hard sell as Kiwis don't generally pay for low km. It just makes the car easier to sell.
