    To each their own. It doesnt do a thing for me, though of course if you chucked me the keys and your credit card and said "Best you do a hot lap of the South Island" I wouldnt turn you down. But I prefer the looks and smallness and utility of your classic 911 and earlier stuff. Its like my current fixation with a Dodge Viper after watching the MEGAFACTORIES show about it. I really want to drive one if only to do a big fat fucking burnout with that V10 and fry a set of tyres.

    Speaking of rare Porsches:

    My only Porsche ownership involved a 914 Targa. Detachable hard top. Unfortunately it was the 4, not the 6. Still a hoot to drive, but like most straight sprots cars the manifest impracticalities eventually conspired against it.

    But. I has a potential new project in view. Of an even more sublimely impractical nature. With the potential for three times as many cylinders.

    Three times 6 or 3 x 4?

    either's good...

    I do like to do ridiculously extravagant.

    In this case it's not complete, and I'd get to choose, however the original was either a V12 or a blown straight 8.

    I think there's enough scope there for at least slightly extravagant...

    Not all that great up close. A guy at work had one. Shit build quality and did a lot of over heating which is common for that car.

    A quick search and you can import one for way less, but I really can't see why it's worth that much (or any bike)

    Definitely smoking something as it's been updated once then completely replaced by the new V4.

    It's not collectible. It's just another Ducrappy in the SP SPS S R ARSE mould of let's make another version that makes last week's one look cheap.

    IF I had say, Sam Morgan sort of money I'd gladly drop that on, say ex-Crafer wcm YZR500 for a start. Ex Doohan NSR500. Heck an NSR500 Vtwin would make a cracking track bike and less likely to kill you.

    Certainly not on any car. No car is worth more than say 20k. Twice that for a decent van fitted to transport dirt bikes race bikes etc.

    The only Dueclattery worth that this side of current GP bike would be somewhat older and have a fly visible in the gell coat of the tank, (as fable tells it).
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Nice pic in the latest Bike (UK) magazine of the mangled tank of an NSR500V presented to the cretunculous punk who highsided it into the far side of a gravel pit at a track day of cool race bikes provided for paying punters to destroy in an orgiastic frenzy of ambition outstripping talent.

    3-2-1 bike goes BWAAP. Make sure you know which way it's pointed.
    Customer slicks will be better than Sete had in 1999.
