bring on the porsches i say!

They must have different Porsche's in QLD as down here a GT3 Carrera Cup will smash our times. One of our customers , John Webb, who races the new GT3 sequential job does a minute flat at Wakefield on full NEW slicks though.

Last year I got to go round as a passenger in a Porsche cup car at Philip Island.He was doing 1.45's,250kmh down the straight.I told him the speed and acceleration didnt overly impress me as I drove down in a 600hp GTR,but the braking was out of this world,nothing I had ever experienced before.It was his first time at the Island,and we did 6 laps,but the braking,oh the braking.

He said his Porsche was making about 400hp,was around 1200kg I think,but the braking.

good work guys. nice to see mark and pete showing our melbourne cousins how we do it in nsw. mark and pete thanks for the calls and texts, your love was felt even though i was down with brisby in meihico.

congrats giant on top honours, that is a nice effort! to say the least.

i am still sorry i couldnt make it as my liver has been getting a bit cheeky lately and could have used a good smashing to show him who's boss.

exactly 400kg lighter makes all the difference in the workld to braking and mid corner grip, no doubt that the quick GTRs would have more power than most of the race cars I posted up. Probably only sports sedans with the 6litre chev 700hp = 530kw at the fly would have more power than a quick GTR

mark and i picked up a pearler a while back for me. it was a 5 speed sillo with a decent box in it a good LSD. had like 10 months rego too. even came with 8 wheels including a full set of sillo alloys. was great fun until i killed it. then sold it.

    • Good timing mate, welcome to God's country just in time for winter Seriously though....how cheap is rural/regional.
    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 😋
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
