Give me Fuchs or those gold wheels of his on an old 911 any day. Just my opinion.
Me too. To be honest they look like cheap crap..........

Looks better in this view but the classic Fuchs win every time. Black centered they might look better but then you might as well have Fuchs

Team them with this paint job and you have the ultimate homage to Minecraft?

That black 964 with the magnus wheels looks very low or is it just the optical angle of the pic? The 964 track boys here need to take a look....

..........and macca that 993 is not finished yet? that big ***** engine is going to spill a few more coins out of the piggy bank. Then its going to be one of a handful like it in the world.

That's some 996 monster alright!
Didn't realise they weren't showing up, as they seem to work on the iPad. Issue has been resolved

You ain't wrong Graeme. That's rothsports 3.9 creation in road tune with their new custom intake plenum. It makes 406 bhp on pump gas at 7600 rpm with a 8000 rpm redline. The really exciting part is the torque - 328lbft the same as my GT3! These are engine dyno figures as they have one of the best race engine dyno rooms in the business. It's a 120 hr race engine meaning I believe that it's essentially strong for road and track use. Yes it would make my 993 very special indeed but it's big boys money for a build like that so will require a big financial win to make true....

Macca, if you are after torque, just buy a turbo. Even my 21 year old girl has 383 lb ft as standard.

John. I'm not a big fan of turbos for the type of driving I enjoy. I've owned plenty of them. If I was I certainly wouldn't have bought a GT3 with a 9000 rev limiter.....each to their own I guess....

Most often a Panasonic 20mm lens on an Olympus EM-5 body (although I think they were taken on an old Panasonic GF1 body). Great combination, and small enough to throw in a glove box or jacket pocket. Highly recommended.

Doug, good to see mine wasn't the only 911 out in this horrid weather this morning!

With Lola? Hard core. I couldn't get Herman out of the garage as I'm working on the Turbo 3.6 so it was 996TT this morning. First world problems. Very comfortable commuter. Working air con makes a big difference as does tip gearbox.

so Macca at the mix of driving that you do - road and track - how do you assess the equivalent of 120 hours race? I mean how long before significant mainintenance? I suppose if you dialed the revs back a little 7200 instead of 7600 in driving you may extend to 180 hrs?
