Early days but it’s a great drive. Fast. Comfy. Looks great. Took it for a run to Lorne and returned via Deans Marsh and it grips and rips. Can’t wait to have a crack in anger!

patrick911 Posted 22October, 2019 Report Share Posted 22October, 2019 Not today, but I took the car out last Sunday. Drove around Lancefield, Sidonia, Pyalong, Romsey, etc. in stead of my default route around Cockatoo, Emerald, Healesville, & Launching place. The weather wasn't great, but it was dry and the roads were empty what else does one need? Dave997S, GTP911, Niko and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick V Posted 22October, 2019 Report Share Posted 22October, 2019 Took the GT3 for a trundle down to C&C Unley last Sunday......the nicer weather usually brings out a bigger crowd, and I always enjoy seeing some cars I haven’t seen before. Even spotted @LeeM’s car there, although didn’t bump into him!! I love my Pcars, but I really enjoy just being amongst motoring enthusiasts, regardless of whether you’re driving a Lambo, Fezza or a Morris minor........talking cars, talking sh#t.......this is my tribe!! patrick911, Niko, JWM and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave997S Posted 23October, 2019 Report Share Posted 23October, 2019 Loving this car to bits (even with the weird cd stacker issue - see other thread). Tonight it had its picture taken for a fundraising calendar. This is my pic from the iPhone, I’m sure the pro PCs will be a lot better MARTY, Niko, LeeM and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGA Posted 6November, 2019 Report Share Posted 6November, 2019 Frustration! The background to this trip is that I decided to fly out to OZ for the Melb Cup weekend to visit family, etc. During the course of the weekend, I covered around 400kms driving down to Portsea, across to Pt. Lonsdale, Geelong and so on. The highest speed during the whole time was 100kph with much of it 80kph and below. In this context, the RS was a total waste with a bleak future ahead. I can see myself supplementing this with something that gives me a buzz at a much lower speed. I will be glad to get back to my EU based RS this coming weekend and take my frustration out on the Autobahn. mhh and Niko 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to Australia where we have a law for everything, aimed to protect the most stupid (5%) and formulated assuming the majority represent the lowest common denominator. Oh, and if you're in Victoria it's worse, still surprised it's legal to drive a car there. The Nazi state has a zero tolerance of speed and yet their road toll went up substantially last year, that's working well then! When the Govt does cost benefit analysis for our roads it's obviously more cost effective to save tax payers dollars by continually lowering the speed limit than actually spending money on improving road infrastructure or driver education.

OZ930 Posted 6November, 2019 Report Share Posted 6November, 2019 But wait there’s more...in NSW 1. removal of radar warning signs 2. mobile phone detection cameras (agree with this one) 3. point to point cameras for all vehicles Go via the back roads you say? But they dropped the speed limits to 80 kph, so where are are the cops going to be ? They don’t have to be on the main roads anymore! Why don’t they take the speed limit signs away and let us guess, sure to raise more revenue that way. Oh, sorry, it’s for safety 😡 maybe I should have put this in vent 🤬 GC9911, LeeM and Niko 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did 5,000km in Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy in September and didn’t see a single cop on the road outside the cities. Italy had some point to point cameras but according to my mailbox, they don’t seem to work. I’m going back ASAP! Meanwhile, thank God for Tassie.

But they dropped the speed limits to 80 kph, so where are are the cops going to be ? They don’t have to be on the main roads anymore! 😡 Same has happened here in SA mate. Saying that, our better hills roads are twisty and still posted at 80kph, so it's still a load of fun, and I can only recall one cop car half hidden trying to get speeders recently on Marble Hill road 10 mins from the CBD (driving nirvana in my opinion), but we always keep to the speed limit on the faster bits coz we've all been busted. If higher speeds are your thing, then its a lottery if you'll see a cop or not, as there are a couple of permanent hidden cameras to do their job for them. My last fine was a point to point camera on the freeway that got me at 115 in a 110 zone in my van...$450 and 3 demerits which had me teetering on 3 points left, so I was being extra cautious in the Porsche until I just got 6 points back not too long ago. I can't imagine owning an RS and not being able to open it up, so I s'pose it's a good thing I can't afford one 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
