sleazius Posted 7July, 2014 Report Share Posted 7July, 2014 So I'm sitting in the airport on the way to pick up my new wheels. After looking for almost a year something came up last week at a reasonable price with 95% of my criteria met. The owner did a deal on a new car and needed it gone fast or was going to trade it in, so here we are. Road trip from Queensland to Sydney to follow! It is also my birthday today, best present ever! I'm thinking I've just doubled down on the debt in my wife points account. Will post pics tonight..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstone Posted 7July, 2014 Report Share Posted 7July, 2014 Hope all goes well. The trip can be a major part of the whole ownership experience. I flew to W.A. and drove a 370z home. Took heaps of pics for the memories. Boxter was Central Coast to Northern N.S.W. My 14yr old came with me for this one. Again heaps of pics.

sleazius Posted 7July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 7July, 2014 So I got a little carried away and kept driving - was having too much fun. Arrived about 10 mins ago at 4:45am. The plan had been to break it up into two days but since I've got a work trip on Thursday decided to just push on, get home and enjoy the car with the family. I've got till Thursday off anyway. More tomorrow .... zzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstone Posted 7July, 2014 Report Share Posted 7July, 2014 That CTS 993 Turbo has the wrong wheels, front lenses and stereo Ben. There is a set of 993 Turbo wheels advertised on PCV website. They might not be hollow spokes so you would need to weigh them before buying. They are usually quite expensive but those are priced well. Not sure about hte stereo but they are probably still a ailable from PCA. The front lenses should be orange but most people prefer white anyway. Good luck! Oh u teez.
