    Hi
    Can anyone tell me why we don't have a NZ thread? Seems like loads of regions of US but we end up being part of the West Island section.

    Because it will probably be frequented by 10 Kiwi's or less? :p:p

    Seriously though, PM Rob Lay and hit him up. You may be onto something. :):)

    and if you keep that up we'll cut the rope and let you float of to Antarctica :)

    write to Rl and ask for a section , he's good like that, or even ask Wax who's a mod here

    I agree Pap, not enough frequent kiwi members here to need a Kiwi section, it would get 15 posts per week if were lucky.

    Just join these mad Aussie's, they are great value. :D

    Yeah, i just thought of a good tee shirt "Melbourne-New Zealand" :p

    Um, i just had a look for the Singapore thread, seems like a reasionable plan to make a Kiwi verson, but is that not what this thread is? IMO most of the NZ F-chat members would/do use this thread in much the same way the Singapore thread is used. ;)

    You also have to remember that USA makes up for more than 60% of Fchat postings or something like that. I saw it the other day. That is why they have loads of regions. There are A LOT of Americans out there. ;);)

    Wax posted this info and a whole lot more the other day. He may post here if your lucky. :):)

    I PM'd Rob Lay over a year ago about this and he replied saying not an issue. I guess if enough people in NZ (are there enough?) asked then it could be done.

    By the sounds of it most of them are here. lol

    Another 30,000 plus came over last year. (including the coach for the Wallibies)

    At least its elevating the IQ of Australia. :D

    Maybe thats why nothing happened. More Kiwis than ever movin across the Tasman. Must say that I find the idea appealing, Kiwiland pretty difficult place to do business in at present, oh and petrol (premium) just hit $2.12 a litre!

    Thanks for clarifying gents. I was just wondering.

    I am interested in the CS and wonder if anyone knows how many are in NZ? I know that Contis has two for sale and see another on the charity run. Are those the only ones?

    Does anyone know what price they change hands at? Have seen the Rosso Corsa one drop steadily in price over the last year....

    The one at the charity day is one of the cars from Conti's, the owner has it there on behalf and picked it up for the track day. I know of 3 CS here, probably more but i have only seen 3 first hand.

    Are you looking to purchase a CS?

    Perhaps, have to see how a few business matters pan out. Getting sick of a garage full of Porsches and just fallen in love with CS. I did see a yellow one once but heard it may have crashed. Is the 3rd car red?

    Cool, nothing wrong with Porkers but they are no Ferrari. Yeah the 3rd CS i know of is Yellow, i had not heard about a crash, do you have any details on that rumor?

    Good luck on the business matter mate :)

    Thanks mate I agree on the Porker. 997TT is a bit 'play station' and have a bit too much overlap with other cars I have.
    I could be wrong on the crash but source was good - I head that it was a write off
    I did like the Rosso Corsa one at Contis but not seen the other. I liked the lexan windows and no stereo.

    Agreed, non leather and lexan means business. :D

    It is a shame if the Fly CS is no longer, i really liked that car, the colour combo was probably how i would have ordered it.

    A 997TT is a cool car, wouldn't be too much in the change over price would there? You NEED to get that CS before next months fun run, i'm organising the route and it is going to be a good one. Might be to many kms for some owners though, might even need a fuel stop half way :D

    Have you tried a GT3? Absolutely stunning machine if you're looking for track-oriented street car. I love the CS as well, except they only come with the stupid flappy paddles.

    You're right about the yellow CS getting written off. That was a while ago ...
