Might have to wait until I have a few more points on my license, as I have NO doubt I'll lose a few 😁 Thanks again mate, much appreciated Anyone in Adelaide got a GT3 I can try on for size?

JV911 Posted 10March, 2019 Report Share Posted 10March, 2019 Old Pacific Hwy to Mt White yesterday. I haven't been up there in a while; discovered that it's a 60km/h zone, and the cops were out in force. firstone and Tips 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhh Posted 11March, 2019 Report Share Posted 11March, 2019 From Geneva to Monaco via Route Napoleon (plus a couple of scenic detours) with some mates from Melbourne plus some Swiss locals. Brilliant weather and mostly empty roads - at least until Grasse when the traffic got busy. firstone, GTP911 and LeeM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watch too many Chris Harris videos maybe.... but I certainly noticed the narrowness of the bitumen bit and the undergrowth nearby...

WGA Posted 28March, 2019 Report Share Posted 28March, 2019 Fantastic drive through the Chilterns yesterday in the Touring in unusually good weather for the UK.....sunny, blue sky.

Airhead Posted 30March, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 30March, 2019 After getting a few items attended to on the 3.2 (new tyres/starter motor/battery/+ other bits & jobs done) over the last week or two, decided it needed a drive. So today (yes in all that rain) went up to Eddington for the historic sprints. Great catching up with people haven't seen for a while and checking out some nice classics fanging down the 1/4 mile. Did 470ks in total and the car is singing sweetly. 🙂 Stopped in Castlemaine for a coffee on the way home and spied this. Can you be a hipster with a bike on the roof rack of a 996? hugh, Niko, Arne Krix and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmarks Posted 31March, 2019 Report Share Posted 31March, 2019 I ashamed. Fired up the 991.1 RS yesterday. Glorious. Then checked the time. Hah! Thought it was later than that, no need to hurry. Then checked my watch. Ummm. It’s been so long since I drove it that I didn’t adjust for daylight savings. Making up for that this week though. Driving it it all week to work and other places. Crickey its a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
