Default Aim or similar for Sunday?

Just had a thought - anyone got an Aim Solo or similar they could spare for Sunday? I have memory cards etc but it would be a bugger to record everything and then not be able to analyze it. Do you need to buy the software to use it on another machine or is it the device that costs and the software is free?

Porsche practicality. Could be someones next SITT setup. Anything the fastest street cars in the US can do, tow trailers and then run 6's, a GT3 can do better.

Matt takes his GT3 camping - he posted a photo on here a while ago (maybe he can re-post it??)

Found it. Just needs a towbar and a trailer with some slick shod wheels to complete the picture

Thats the right path Paul. Gives you all the options for black handbrake and gear shifter later on too...

An oldie but a goodie. This is getting me all nostalgic again! Countdown is on. Will have a new audio/video/telemetry rig in play for this car and hope to replicate some footage like this . John, reminds me of your Crown Ranges shoot a little...

Worse still the car was involved in quite a bad accident back in 2004. Jamie will recall - Robert Dong bought this car (deposit down was to fly up to drive it down) and the Independent Prestige sales buy basically totalled it taking it down the road to have some work done on it Rob asked to be done. The car was repaired by Haslers and Robert asked me to inspect their work before he flew up. He flew up, drove it and said its wasnt right. He should know he's owned a 993Rs (and still does). Moved his deposit immediately to a 996.1 GT3 at Gillies and drove that home (we had lunch together in Grey Lynn before he left).

If there is a single 993 C4S worth 100k+ in NZ it is the low mileage red one at CCS in the underground car park next to my GT3 which was shipped from the factory with 3.8 engine, low kms, high spec and still with original owner.

Pays to know aye!
Interestingly, the guy I purchased my 993 off had a look at that one before he bought the low mileage narrow body that ended up in my hands. He passed on the C4S after finding out it had been in a bingle. I think he got quite far into it and had a bit of trouble backing out of the deal.

It will always be a 996.1 GT3 after all. If you wanted an upgrade on the 964 for track work this car with a geo and maybe a few bits here and there will be good for 1.14s at HD! No cheaper way tp get there if you want a road legal with aircon car and good medium term residuals.
But John is locked in the early 90's and how would I keep up?

Now that really is car p*rn :-P. Wh-t's the latest on your GT3 being drivable again Macca? Are they running in the engines in the factory or do you have to do it on the road?

Doug. Thanks for asking. New engine on its way next week. Should hope it will be installed and car ready to go within next 3 weeks. I fly in 16 July to do the run in Kms (1500). I also need to shake down the 993 gearbox and bed the new brakes so I'll put 500 on that too and then fly out. I want both cars to be ready for NITT so I don't have to faff around in September when we arrive.
The GT3 will be epic. I've missed driving it and increasingly I think it is the perfect vehicle for our NZ adventures.....

Yes, I am a 964 tragic. Just looking at the other side of the fence.

Look out for Chris Harris in the Carrera Cup race, he's been writing up his experiences on PistonHeads so far.
