99TS3 Posted 14February, 2018 Report Share Posted 14February, 2018 I had to get new tyres on the 993 today (Michelin PS2 – rears in 285/30 are impossible to get BTW ) but also had to do the first ever school drop off in the Porsche. Everyone was very happy about that as you can see. hugh, Troubleshooter, StevepGT3 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porsches are one of very few sports cars that you can have great fun in and still take your kids up until their early teens comfortably (as long as they're not oversized kids ). When it's in their blood, they wont want to stop...........my 16 & 20 yr old girls still don't want to miss out, it's only very short drives now but they have never said no 99TS3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidtran Posted 14February, 2018 Report Share Posted 14February, 2018 It's great to have your kids involved. I've grown mine two boys up around cars and even though they're not as into Porsches as I am, they're very interested in Japanese cars and they'll never refuse a nice drive. 99TS3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been hunting high and low for a seat to fit in the back of my car for my daughter and having no luck. As I built the car with the intention of it being the car for me and her to go for drives in, not being able to do that is starting to make me loose the love for it. Almost at the point of wanting to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost at the point of wanting to sell. Babylove from the Redcross. The seat is about 5 - 6 years old. My recommendation would be to go to a store that has a large range of seats and pull every single one off the shelf and into your car until you find something that fits. You just need a narrow based seat. The rest is not as important as its strapped in solid. I just did a quick Google and it's one of these two http://babylove.com.au/shop/car-seats/ezy-grow-ep/ http://babylove.com.au/shop/car-seats/ezy-combo/ I can totally understand your pain. If I didn't have the baby seat the car would certainly get used a lot less. neill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airhead Posted 18February, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 18February, 2018 Well not actually driving my Porsche but chased this around Sandown today. Was only .5 second slower in my old Pommy car.

Andy73 Posted 19February, 2018 Report Share Posted 19February, 2018 Had planned a 964 drive on Sunday but the wheels fell off as other plans knocked our numbers out like flies. So I decided to head to Mount Baw Baw to race downhill on my bike. No Porsche but had a good time in the SRT through the very tight twisties between Noojee and Baw Baw. On the way back I latched onto the tail of the MX5 club – think I scared the hell out of the last guy as I mobbed along behind him, the V8 roaring. Would be a good road in the P Car although it’s in pretty poor condition in a lot of places and wildlife seems to find itself on the road with alarming regularity… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit too narrow the first 6-8km (though didn't see one oncoming car yesterday) or so but opens up after that! Actually an out and back with a stop at a nice cafe at the turn around (Raw Harvest in Newborough) would make a great SMT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The challenge between Icy Creek and Baw Baw itself is how narrow the road is. A lot of blind corners with nowhere to go when someone's coming the other direction. One of the riders on the weekend went into the embankment trying to avoid a lyrebird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy73 Posted 25February, 2018 Report Share Posted 25February, 2018 Got out plenty over the course of the weekend. Saturday night I cruised in to Richmond with my son for a quick bite at Kong (magnificent) and came across a pretty sweet Star Wars mural and had no choice but to park in front of it and grab a quick snap.

Andy73 Posted 26February, 2018 Report Share Posted 26February, 2018 Also drove out through Monbulk to Launching Place then back via Gembrook early yesterday (the Gembrook Launching Place road wasn’t great coming in the reverse direction – passed quite a bit of oncoming traffic including trucks). Stopped at the General Food store in Emerald for coffee and toast and watched a group of cars pull in including this 996 turbo and navy 964 tipper. Not seen either car before… Nick S and Philbee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be heading out on the bike on the weekend which would be the one thing that could get in the way. Sunday looks a bit cooler which works for me. Will keep you posted....
