[QUOTE=IWantAnAudiRS6;731091]Seriously nice ride, clutch. Just make sure you're man enough for it... ;)[/QUOTE]
i have no illusions about my current ability to drive it hard...:D
[QUOTE=Duell;731093]What a dream car. Please, feel free to post some extra photo's :D :D[/QUOTE]
i'll take some daytime shots asap :)
[QUOTE=Cyco;731099]Very kind of you to hold the funeral off till I get back.
Will you be taking it to Adelaide for the Classic? I'm hoping to be in a e36 M3 there.[/QUOTE]
how much will it cost to enter? i'm kinda strapped for cash right now..

afaik it can be entered as is in most tarmac rally and track day events :)
[QUOTE=motorsportnerd;731109]Great car. What events have you got planned for it?[/QUOTE]
driver training and a track day on the 28th of august. considering i've driven 100hp fwd hatchbacks for the last 4 years i'll be taking it slow
Looks pretty good man!
[QUOTE=clutch-monkey;731072]got it today, planned my funeral at the same time. november, you're all invited.
it just competed in suncoast classic rally, wielded by a 71 year old pensioner who came second. it cost more than i wished :( but it's a 'spend nothing' car, all sorted, 3.6L 993 engine, 996 brakes etc etc.
a [I]very[/I] cautious few weeks of driving is coming up for me.[/QUOTE]
You got the VN back!!!
Woops wrong death trap:p..
Man you will have sore arms and the Germans will know you drive a porshe as they will notice when your eating your arms are still turning the steering wheel:D..
But looks like one hell of a buy congrats:).
P.S can you spring a plane flight for me and a Babarakes cloth so i don't miss your funeral:D.
That. Is. Nice!
I think my friends Dad would love you, he's a total Porsche nut
Couple of things:
-I'm supremely jealous that you fit in a car like that.
-Peel off the decals, stat.
-Did the 1977 Aussie model SC's have the emissions restrictions that the US models did?
-Good purchase, looks like it's got some cool upgrades to it!
So when is an exact replica of this car coming to your Forza garage?
So... midlife crisis, eh clutch? :D
I though only 40-year old, balding men who want a last chance at youth buy Porsches like this. :p :D
j/k man, I love 911s. Great purchase- you saved yourself some money by buying it with the rollcage installed.

decals will come off, only there for now because the car competed last week. i don't know about emissions, exhaust is not standard and engine came from a completely different model, so :confused:

good point...i'll get to work on it

that's pretty much what i figured, i'd be spending more initially but saving money in th elong run :)
edit: got some daytime pics when i took it for an early morning cruise. seat of the pants estimation is that it is almost as fast, or [I]feels[/I] almost as fast as the GT3, no doubt thanks to the low weight and the 993 engine.
will need a different set of wheels with street tires as soon as funds allow. the previous owner is sending all the oem equipment as well as a spare race seat to me in the next week.
i love this car. :D
i hope to god it is trouble free...
Keep the 'Succulent!' sticker... :D
