I was the same yesterday, my brother is 4 inches taller than me and his feet are bigger. With the 6 point harness I could only just reach the brakes properly and heel/toeing was a prick.

Clutch when is your first track day ??, you will have a ball

They have Topgear meetings in Queensland, you should talk to Ballast( Kevin) about them, he has competed in a few

Clutch, didn't 911s from this and earlier eras have snap-on oversteer?

Whatever you do, don't pull a James Dean.

yes. there's been a lot of work to it so maybe it's addressed...a little bit..
the previous owner, at 71 years, probably had this car since new and spent the time trying to master it

OK, I just looked at your latest pics. So, you have a relatively pastoral life, with room to breath, chickens, probably a few goats or sheep or a horse around there somewhere, and you live in Australia. You also have a penchant for Porsches and like to rally. You just bought this 911, which looks awesome.

You now above all others are the member on this board I hate the most!

Serioulsy though, that is awesome.

haha thanks no horses though, i hate the things, having to work on them is bad enough goats are too destructive..
i guess it would be more accurate to say, i would like to rally; as i've never done it before, and would like to get into it
