Hahaha nice one Kev Yep Ash that is the one although the blue looks a little darker in real life.

Agreed the only trouble is the innocent people that they often kill at the same time didn't

Get them in peeps Done - let me know if you don't get them Bec/Ash ..and who doesn't like a pic of an R sideways

Blue SV Diablo parked near the police building on St Kilda Rd last Wed about 2pm. Noice

Special looking drop top 430 Fezza parked along Centre Rd Bentleigh Wed night around 6pm. Number plates SF16M.

Do I even need to post that I'm coming Bec Time to start training that liver...

As all have said, this turned out to be a great day. Weather held out, awesome venue and was nice and relaxing - esp considering what my usual Sat arvo's are like All the cars looked the goods and was good to see members putting the effort in to make the cars show worthy. Shame about the no's of cars in the end but I expect that the weather prediction played a part in that. As for those complaining about the early start - stop being lazy....that ain't early, early is getting woken up by your 2 year old opening your eye lids for you at 6am in the morning Great photos by all Also big thanks to Mick from Micolour for spending hours on fri cutting and polishing all the track abuse out of the paintwork only for me to pick it up in the pouring rain Quick dry when I got home and all was good

Very sad reminder of how dangerous motorsport can be My thoughts are with their familes and friend.....RIP.

How do you tell if your skyline is a chick or a bloke? Sorry couldn't resist

Do we post submissions for photo of the year in this thread for all to see?

Fantastic driving and the time says it all esp considering the power vs no. of wheels driven Great track **adds to 'wants to do list'**

As always mate, great shots do I see a bits of the 'magic light' being run around in those shots?

Should make an appearance for this one but unfort the R won't as its getting prepped for the SNS. Will be good to catch up with you guys and gals

Great times by all!! Seems I have a new target for a stockish GTR Dunc... 1:48.5 is an awesome time Now where to find a sec.....

Thanks for clearly that up Ash Count, yes there is paid parking very close by...the latest Melways should show it as do the online maps. Not sure on cost though...

Ok I am in... Am i understanding that there is no longer a best in series (ie best 32 gtr, best 33 gtr etc) but now just a best GTR overall award?

Happy B'day mate

Good work Dunc. Interested about the semis failing....whats cars were they on and how did they fail? I have a fairly stock (no weight saving, 270-280atw) R33 GTR and never had issues with the semis. Also my pb at PI is 1:49 and I think a low 49...maybe...48 is possible if the wind is blowing the right way So I have no doubt your car is capable of achieving the same.

As far as I am concerned it is that simple, but it comes down to what YOU want to do with the car. For me I would be looking at a car which can carry the family (incl. baby seats) and a bit of luggage if required, with the time spent equally on the road as well as the track. In this case the GTR is the clear option as it will do all of the above and still put in a good lap time. If I was looking for a 2 seater road car for looking & sounding good and MAYBE a track day once a year to give her a proper run then the Fezza would be my choice.

^^LOL true, true. But I don't start prepping the car until I have details - that way she's ready for a track day at a moments notice

Not much notice, but I will try and get the R ready

Couldn't have said it better myself - buy a car for its intended purpose, work out what you want to use the car for and then choose the car based on that.

Not sure mate.....all it says is off of the stock GTR. Whether or not that is more weight saving than the current SpecV I am not sure.

Awww....Don't worry about it Russ....I did the HSVOC PI day last month and was the only SAU member there......and before anyone asks the only reason I did it was for convenience Anyway was fun without having some RP prepped GTR setting the times

Spotted Titanium grey R35 driving through the Alfred Hospital, 7am this morning....gave a thumbs up and got a wave back. Nice way to start the morning
