tazzieman,

Yeah I think I do get it in an addicted kind of way! I had a 79 SC Targa for several years before emigrating six years ago from the UK to Oz and had to sell it to pay for the huge bond attached to my visa. Since arriving I have always pined for another 911 but wanted to absolutely get the right car. I wanted a rare sporty coupe, that was light and classic and affordable. I decided 3 years ago that the C3 was the car I wanted but it was not easy finding a decent one. The ones in Oz tended to be high mileage and expensive so I started looking abroad. After a couple of paid for inspections on private seller cars I saw this car in Total 911 magazine, it was a four or five page article with many pictures of my car but the writeup was more generic C3. Everything I had read up till then was that the C3 was the dogs bollocks for power and weight, was rare, had the bulletproof 930 bottom end, was virtually unknown and would only appreciate. I wanted a car I could track, was eligable for historic racing in Oz yet suitable for Sunday drives with the missus. I was in the UK last year but couldn't see the car as it was in the body shop getting the B posts redone by the seller ePorsche. A couple of months later the missus was in the UK so I had her go have a look and bought it without inspection sight unseen by me. Roly the owner comes across as a decent seller of working porsches and I liked and trusted him. I have not been disapointed.
I intend to use this car for what it was built for and with the obscene speed limits in Oz that means track time. I drive a huge amount of K's in my job and hate the ridiculous speed limits and have had more than my share of minor speeding tickets. I recieved the car from the UK two weeks after going to a good behaviour licence and have to be a very good boy for 12 months.
