Sabre says thank you to all his Rennteam Friends, especially Jackson and Naila. He came home last night!!! The Lord and the best medical care has him bouncy and cheerful again
Sabre is back
and goofing on Sir Cosmic Messenger again, Thank God!!!
The diagnosis is still not proven, but the package of treatments the Doctors applied worked on Sabre.
Sueño however is still very ill. Lord save him.
Good news and don't worry, I think Sueno will be OK.

BoomBoom stops for petrol! He's home, ravenous, bouncy and cheerful!!
Although Salmon test negative, so waiting on diagnosis.
300 miles to bring him home: The 2008 is a far evolution on the 996 GT2, there is no turbo snap or lag, just a continuous river of liquid power. One forgets there's no getting on the cam, just press and presto, you're gone! The only negative is the tiny petrol tank of that era, not evolved from the 996... Is this the same gear box as the 997GT3RS? Just as slick and perfect. Nice job Porsche all round.
BjoernB:no - this is 6 years old :)
So your daughter must be a beauty by now...gotcha.

JoeRockhead:Watt, did you add the bolster covers yourself, or did they come with the car?
The seller added them I'm glad, and as well as the Akrapovic which is pretty gurgle-y on cold idle but smooths out with heat. What a rocket! I only ran 100-135 as the road has some traffic and cops, but WHOOSSHH would be the right licence plateA lighter car, with a front end that of course is lighter than turboS, is a real pleasure to drive.
BoomBoom LaShoot the Mightiest of Toots is in the Beaver ponds and on the trail!!
Just getting the energy to respond to Sabre's desire to rough house
The Raptor is at the local dealer waiting for a failed tailgate actuator at 1200 miles!! It turns out to be a common problem and they don't stock an $88 part I ordered a spare, but a locked tailgate makes the truck useless.
Other than that, it has done its duty, and at least it starts and goes.
It ran to the hospital nicely at 105 in sport mode, with ok passing power. Could have run harder but with AT tyres no.
The best performance is Baja mode which has amazing surefooted-ness and stability on flat dirt and gravel allowing speeds of 75 or 80 where the RR was dangerous over 60.
Rock Crawl has ten gears in Low Range but they are too high!!! In 1st, down a steep rocky track, Sun is forced to brake. Tsk Tsk
The Landcruiser will be here in a week or so and Sky will review that.
