ByronBayChris Posted 31May, 2015 Report Share Posted 31May, 2015 Jeez, your neck would be sore doing it in reverse! Sure is - roads were too narrow to safely u-turn. LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter M Posted 2June, 2015 Report Share Posted 2June, 2015 A quick 1000km over the weekend:I must be in the central west! Road from Dunedoo to Wellington was a pleasant surprise.Rather than the usual corny grid shot......Nothing prettier than a dirty 993. Bottom end of Bylong Valley Way.Rylstone for morning tea.

Stew F Posted 2June, 2015 Report Share Posted 2June, 2015 I opened the garage door this morning to put the recycling out and went Oh no, my Porsche has been stolen. Then I put the door up and noticed it parked behind my other car. Turned out that my son "borrowed it" last night because he had no petrol in his car. So I drove it all of 5km to the hospital because I couldn't be arsed shifting cars around. Via the petrol station, cos the fuel light was on. tazzieman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 6June, 2015 Report Share Posted 6June, 2015 My 16 yo has been driving for a month. So far he's been using the Outback and the Accent (other son's drives). Today we went for an hour long jaunt in the 924 . He loved it ; is driving very competently. I really enjoy watching/feeling them learn.

Dreamr Posted 7June, 2015 Report Share Posted 7June, 2015 Drove to Sydney and stumbled upon a mint 930 .... played forward and backwards all the way down the M1 ... Ended up at SteveF's house to check out his non-Porsche (sorry .... his new Audi TT) ... absolutely stunning!Took the Old Pacific Hwy back to Brooklyn, then a leisurely run on the M1 back to the Coast ...Life doesn't get much better ....

turboT Posted 7June, 2015 Report Share Posted 7June, 2015 so need i drive like yours michael. Nothing better than just heading out, the only restraint being that you have to be back, 'some time.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted 7June, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 7June, 2015 Led a small group of 356s through the hills for an hour and a bit finishing for a coffee in Templestowe. Good fun. Mike737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 7June, 2015 Report Share Posted 7June, 2015 Just got back after being blasted at a Kevin Borich concert. This morning James wanted to drive to coffee and cars , after being a passenger for the past 5 years... No shame in bunking next to a slightly more modern P car Afterwards , went for a decent drive 1/2 way up the mountain , back through the city and home through the burbs , up the hill & back. Going well is the lad ! Chris-p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT Posted 7June, 2015 Report Share Posted 7June, 2015 Took the Carrera for a nice long drive from Point Lonsdale to Port Campbell and back with a detour up into the hills at Lorne. Lots of traffic during daylight hours but clear on the way back in the dark. Over 500kms and the car lapped it up - didn't skip a beat. Next time will be in the 930. I haven't taken it through the twisties yet. It'll be interesting to see how it goes with the 4 speed. I could wring the Carrera's neck without any worry but I think the turbo might be a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you have a dry day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the corners feel like they'd be first gear corners for the 930. Booting a 930 at 50km/h in first gets interesting as I'm sure you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatout Posted 7June, 2015 Report Share Posted 7June, 2015 Went for an early run up the old pac hwy. Left my place about 5:45 up past Calga through the tight section before turning around and coming home (Road Warriors not even open at that time). Think my old radio came on heading down towards Mooney Mooney, so that's about an hour 15mins for it to start working! I'm used to it now, used the scare the crap out of me with the sudden static, you think something on the car has lunched itself. Just 1 Elise and a lambo heading up as I was coming home.
