911sies Posted 9December, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 9December, 2016 Theres a pretty good video of the event on their FB page. Looks like a very competitive event. Serious cars. Im just a regular guy with a stock Carrera!..and same here as well.Before I ran out of cash to continue, I did 30 hours pilot training at Camden. A superb stretch of nicely sealed asphalt, but only 1.4kms of it. I wonder what speeds could be achieved on that?. The pilot training industry is not what it was, and an airport like Camden would probably welcome a bunch of petrol heads...for a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

911sies Posted 9December, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 9December, 2016 Wasn,t Camden aerodrome used as the Australian Top Gear test track for the TV show ....You are spot on Raven. They used it for their power laps (cones etc). Sounds exactly like the UK scene that I remember from a few years back. We need someone like Autohaus to carry the banner. I simply don;t have the time, but I reckon it would be a good idea. It would be good PR for them and a hell of a lot of fun for us!. I've sent Grant and the gang an email and this thread link. I'll report back if I hear anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smit2100 Posted 12December, 2016 Report Share Posted 12December, 2016 yep standing 1km0-330 in 1km is pretty serious for a road carapparently a pretty good event - Peter Fitzgerald was telling me about it, he looks after Sally Ann's 997 In relation to the Snowy 1000 event last year, this was an interesting post in another forum that got sent to me"I've got a 2013 GTR as well running all the FBO 85 gear - 600WHPRan in the Snowy last yearAveraged 5th overall, drove down drove home. Everything that beat us went down on a trailer and had a parachute.5 runs, every one within 1kph and within 0,1 secAmazing car"Is it as much fun as the B5 RS4 ? - not when the boost comes in !!!!!

Didn't take you long to find it!. As I said, nice shopping trolley (yes absolute up their with as good as wolf as you can buy for that coin) that apparently has had some Sydney Telsa owners booking their cars in for a "virtual" checkup (obviously not running right when compared to last centuries technology) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
