I would love a 964RS purely as a track car, rock solid residuals, infact rising all the time. Just cant justify £28-£30K for a left hooker or £35K for a rare right hand drive car.

Maybe one day ......... But untill them I will continue grabbing passenger laps in friends 964RS and GT3's.

Something to dream for!

well you certainly did a nice job on the ring - pretty clean racing lines so all that extraordinary fun your having is certainly paying off!

great stuff pug - do you live near the ring or are these just trips over there you make ?

either way the ring is great - it's just seems so good becuase of it's imperfection - I'd imagine if it was a perfect track it would neither be anywhere near as compelling, as fun or as conducive to allowing a driver to learn good technique...

we need one of these in england...

that's the spirit! why deny yourself the prospect of owning one of the, arguably, THE greatest pieces of PHYSICAL engineering the world has ever made...nearly 40 years and the evolution from a basic hand drawn shape is still an unparrelled work of art and the rear engine designed with pedal down just gives unbeatable traction...

in the year 2100 they'll be flying things that STILL look like a a classic rear engined 911! It's like a beautiful naked woman leant forward with her **** in the air - and who can resist that!

No I dont live near the ring although it feels like it sometimes I pretty much went every month last year when it was open.

Pop over to our forum on northloop if you get bored or fancy some track day chat. We have plenty of other video's floating around.
