Skidmarks Posted 5April, 2017 Report Share Posted 5April, 2017 Have been driving the 996.1 GT3 this week. Makes the 12 minutes to and from work go even faster ...Porsche nailed it with that car. Engine output might be modest by modern standards but it just does everything so bloody well. GTP911 and hugh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engine output might be modest by modern standards but it just does everything so bloody well. Agreed, the 996.1 has the perfect amount of power for the setup. I still remember the first time I drove it. Sensational. GTP911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhh Posted 7April, 2017 Report Share Posted 7April, 2017 Melbourne to Adelaide via the Grampians. There are some fast roads out that way if you avoid the Western Highway. GC9911 and GUT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick S Posted 9April, 2017 Report Share Posted 9April, 2017 I've been avoiding this forum for the last month or so, as I had a bit of an oil leak and haven't been able to drive.I wanted to avoid any reminder that I had a car that I could not drive, it was killing me.But yesterday I drove the car to the mechanics for repair, should be back on the road next week and I can't wait. I'm excited like a primary school child waiting for Christmas!Took a quick photo while I stopped for fuel.

Skidmarks Posted 9April, 2017 Report Share Posted 9April, 2017 Took the RS for a blat today. Usual route around Red Hill, Cape Schank etc. In the rain. Just stuffed my resale I'm sure.

Whytar Posted 9April, 2017 Report Share Posted 9April, 2017 Went for cruise up to Palm Beach. Was a magic day here today in Sydney. I have to use the word 'cruise' because the traffic heading up to the beaches was typical of a warm sunny day and I was lucky to breach 60kph on the 30km round journey...

Skidmarks Posted 9April, 2017 Report Share Posted 9April, 2017 That's my neck of the woods, feel free to give me a shout next time if your up for some company. Good to know. Will do. Thanks There's a classic car display this Sunday in Flinders. 10-4. I'm displaying something. Was thinking the '61 T5 B Outlaw. Might offend some sensibilities (i hope) Not sure what else will be on display but there are a few down here with some pretty nice stuff in sheds that often bring them out so if anyone's at a loose end, it might be worth the drive. Display is on the corner of Cook and Norman Streets, Flinders. hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 9April, 2017 Report Share Posted 9April, 2017 Caught up with Stew and Andrew (Cayman S) for a Tassie trip run down at Clarendon today, with Mark in his obnoxiously loud 72 hot rod. Love it! Weather was on and off, but it's always a good excuse to get away from any sort of gardening activities!

Dalai Posted 11April, 2017 Report Share Posted 11April, 2017 Just finally picked up the club plates this morning for my car I bought in WA over 2 months ago! Not sure where I'll drive tonight but will definitely be on the road! LeeM, Nick S and GUT 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 14April, 2017 Report Share Posted 14April, 2017 Well, Thursday night actually, yet drove to Hahndorf to meet up with our very own Youtube megastars, Mr and Mrs Jeff. The cool night air on the way home must have had an effect, as the old banger 911 was singing! So much so, I did a night op's in the Adelaide hills on the way home on one of my all time favourite roads when riding bikes, Upper Sturt road, and there was not a another car in sight at just after 9pmish. These cars are a blast to drive on smooth roads, so I may have to organise an evening drive with some like minded owners here very SOON!

Dalai Posted 16April, 2017 Report Share Posted 16April, 2017 Did end up getting out Tuesday night and enjoyed a few hours over and around the Dandenongs late that evening.Today I drove Marysville return via the Reefton Spur with a side trip to Lake Mountain on the way back. Surprisingly little traffic for the most part. Much fun was had! Niko and Nick S 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
