Once again nice piece of kit. Glad to hear it will hit both street and track like every Porsche should.

Thanks Rob, I have all the info here if you ever want to have a read about the car and series just let me know, would be happy to pass on what I have from the previous owner and what I have found online.

Cheers Al

Whilst not a Porsche fan myself, I can appreciate the work and dedication that has gone into this car already, and having seen your awesome .:R, I know that you will finish the job to a massively high standard...

Congrats on the Purchase, just sad I couldn't afford your .:R...

Edit: and Thank you both for the kind words, I am terrible at keeping any kind of secret and this was agonising for me not to say anything but I didn't want to jinx the deal until I had paid the money and had the signed bill of sale.

Cheers Al

Awesome…….

Man I knew it

That is a fantastic car man. Defo going to have to come see this one when you get it home !. A fine year too.

Congrats Al.

Thanks mate, will let you know when it gets here, if you thought the R was fun for a drive wait till I get my head around driving this one and then take you for a spin.

LOL about the avatar, I was back peddling as fast as I could go when you saw that Avatar test, was trying to figure out what to say so thought the deny everything and play dumb scenario (some say not hard for me) was the best policy and it would work. What is that saying the US government uses......"Plausible Deniability"

LOL

Thanks Rusty, not a lot left to do to this one, just a couple of cosmetic mods and me wanting the engine to be finished the same as the 3.0 Litre 74 IROC RSR engine with the intake and Velocity stacks to finish off the tribute car theme properly. I think its been good having this deal to concentrate on right after selling the R as I haven't had time to miss it yet, though I'm sure I will at some point. I know Marti is missing it already as it was the first rally car she co drove in so it had a lot of sentimental value in it for her.

WTF are you doing in India working in a call centre???? Lol j/k

I didn't tell anyone but Graeme and only him cause he has owned one previously so needed to pick his brain on things, I didn't want to jinx the deal. Give me a call when you get back, hope you are enjoying yourself over there.

No worries at all matey, I understand where you're coming from there. Would I be on the right track if I suspected Arthur in Sydney would know of the vehicle? Looks like an awesome purchase regardless - will you be doing Targa again in this car?

Over here to view the facilities and help form a regional IT team for my employer. Thoroughly enjoying it, and no, we don't have a call centre over here.

Yes met Arthur & Mark yesterday when I was down there for the day, they did all the servicing for Craig.

Let me know when you get back and I'll give you a call and go over everything in detail. Not sure about Targa in this one, even though it was built for it its really is too nice to put through that, will probably stick to track days, hill climbs and sprint events and still get the Msport Fiesta for gravel and the odd tarmac round.
