Gold!
Ha when I was at school I liked racing cars and a lot of the so called surf cool guys
tried to bash me for this. Now every body wants to be a surfer then they want to drive
race cars. Go figure. Sorry Ross but with my experience racing cars and surfing are
nothing alike theyre both great fun but cars cost $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
lots of time and dedication. By the way what was your lap time then I know if you were
any good or not.
Wicked!
Love to see MW towed into a giant slab:)
Without wanting to sound like a wanker (but likely becoming one by even admitting it!) I own a Porsche and surf. Driving that sort of car is the closest I've come in terms of adrenalin to riding a wave. Great fun and I definitely see the parallels between the two sports in terms of speed and that desire to push yourself - not to mention the consequences if you cock up.
I heard RCJ has a 911 in storage in Germany so he can throttle it on the autobahn? Novice maybe but not green.
Dave, as long as it isn't a Boxster, owning a Porsche doesn't mak you a wanker.
When I have the means, I will buy a 993 Turbo and I couldn't give a flying fruitfly what other people think. Once you put the foot down in one of those bad boys, you just know.
Reading this I recall something about an empty ski field carpark, some oversteering, followed by minor panel damage.
Are my recollections correct?
Stupid is as stupid does Mr. Stu.
Everybody who owns a Porsche is a fake in my house hold. But that's mainly
because my best friend owns a GT3. Me I will get a Cayman GT4 and it better
be faster around a race track than my evo.. Yes I think I'm a fake as well. Ha Ha
Its nothing like surfing I can get worried in Hawaii at times never been scared
on the race track.
My mate drives a 2014 Cayenne Turbo, ugly as sin but pretty much a two tonne bullet.
