FlatSix Posted 27September, 2012 Report Share Posted 27September, 2012 No No No!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not transport it up. Fly down and do a road trip. Great bonding time with your new baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Agreed, I did the drive from Sydney up to the Gold Coast when I picked up the porka. It's a great way to get to know the car, quirks and all!

T-Man Posted 27September, 2012 Report Share Posted 27September, 2012 As long as the car is reasonably driveable and you can get time off work it's a great opportunity. I had a dodgy steering rack and seriously crap tyres and still didn't stop smiling all the way back. Just have a think about it before you dismiss it. You won't regret it.

Doish13 Posted 27September, 2012 Report Share Posted 27September, 2012 Happy to look after you at our hotel on a great rate on the way back if required - Sydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamWolf Posted 28September, 2012 Report Share Posted 28September, 2012 Oh, believe me it's not by choice! I love long drives and the only reason I can't do it this time is work commitments. As it turns out, I will meet the (as of late last night, previous) owner in Canberra and we will drive it back from there. We are both visiting to let our respective lovely ladies gaze over those coloured plant things that are almost completely unrelated to Porsches. Doish13, I'll miss out this time around but I'll take you up on that next time I'm in Sydney! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 28September, 2012 Report Share Posted 28September, 2012 Trust me Mr.Wolf is ok with roadtrips. He flew down to Melbourne when I drove my 911 back from tassie just for the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgear Posted 13October, 2012 Report Share Posted 13October, 2012 Hello and warm greetings to all members, I have just joined the forum today and wanted to pay my respects to all members and just say that I am looking forward to getting to know you in the coming days and weeks. From what I have read, there is a really warm and supportive and respectful culture in this forum and that is just sensational. I am very fortunate in that I have two very special Porsches, an 89 3.2 Cab and a 1990 964 C4 Cab. I am another Melbourne member and look forward to getting out and about and meeting other members when the opportunity arises. Enough for now, thanks for listening Cheers...red gear.

Q.. Posted 10November, 2012 Report Share Posted 10November, 2012 HA ! A mate of mine on the gold coast sent me a phone pic of your car the other day ! Hi Guys, Nathan here on the Gold Coast, I have just become a very proud Porsche owner. I snapped up the 964 Turbo mentioned on the forums here..... In doing my research before buying my first Porsche I came across these forums. Needless to say I kept a close eye on that post as the car was at the top of my list. I bought the car last Monday and drove it back up from Sydney. No better way to get to know a car than doing a long road trip day one Looking forward to picking everyone's brains! _FF19904 by Nathan Jermyn Photography, on Flickr FlatSix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
