WT?? Anyone??

is it that MR2 that's got the wide body kit and black paint job, or the one where the engine is so ott that it's going into the boot?
I'd be happy to play with it on a nice day.. give me something to do for a little bit

Sorry, should have made that clearer, was in a hurry.
Mackenzie was riding the race bike. The journo was on the GSXR1000 stock bike which was a mag longtermer.

but my SR is leaking oil

Oil leak? Don’t worry, the Porsche will have one or two as well!
911 oil leak fix,
Step 1, Remove and disassemble motor.
Step 2, Fully re-build motor making sure to replace EVERY seal, washer and gasket.
Step 3, Replace motor and pray.
Step 4, Give owner huge bill, repeat every 3 years.
SR oil leak fix.
Replace the $2.50 leaking seal with an after market one, repeat every 10 years.

Yup thats it - black with the widebody kit and the engine goes right to the back - no boot, with all kinds of pipes and gauges inside the engine bay and every bloody thing's chrome plated.....and got 18" multispoke alloys..you know the chap??

The fella is part of my cage club met him yesterday for the first time.....

Will be interesting to see how he performs against one of you fellows.....

no, don't know him persay, I saw his ride in a mag once, and a couple of times at 'toy' shows (I'm really there for the chicks and bikes tho

)

As for that M3, I wasn't even trying (didn't even know he tried!), I just saw him come on and gas it a little, so i just thought I'd just nip in front..

Racing on The Drive equals a deathwish, unless you mean just along the few straights? They should call it "The Slip"!

It was between a K5 Gixxer and a Porsche Turbo S.

So glad the bike won, even without a professional racer riding it!

The K5 is hot to trot for sure!

What makes you say that?? If you know the corners it's not too bad..... and at midnight there's no one there.....

By the way I'm talking about Scenic Drive in Titrangi not Tamaki Drive in the city
