Hi Guys,

Yes I made it onto TV, and no it is not some porn show.

Me and my car will be on DriveTimeTV on this coming Tueday night, it's on Channel 10, late after Sports Tonight.

Luckily this time I didn't have to say anything, in fact they actually gaffa taped my mouth so I couldn't speak, it's true.

Tollie the host, takes my car and gives it a damn good thrashing, hand-brake turns and 360's, my brakes were smoking after he had finished, plus he managed to collect a few witches-hats while drifting it.

This was supposedly a drive comparison between my car and a 4-door Skyline they did a while back. They also had a Stegea wagon and a JZX90(chaser) which they will be roadtesting soon.

See'ya:burnout:

Geez your generous!! I have the look but dont touch policy on my car. Used to really annoy my ex after being together for 2yrs he wasnt allowed to drive my car and all his mates used to give him crap about it - then again would you let someone that has lost their license 9 times drive your car?

Will have to take a look!!!

too right!! I'd never let some other guy take my car out and give it a working! The only person who touches my car are my bro and parents (bro coz I trust he won't, and parents coz they drive as slow as a wet week anyway)

anyone else don't have a chance (annoying when your mates KEEP asking for a drive!!

But anyway, it wasn't my car, so will tune in and check it out

did they give you anything for the privelage of thrashing your car Paul? :P

The filming was done at the end of the drag strip at the Motorplex.

Tollie has been a rally driver for years, and knows how to drive a car better than most, including myself, so I wasn't too worried. My car is built to withstand a fair bit of punishmnet, so if something breaks I just fix it with something stronger.

so were you on ages ago? I seem to remember a gun metal line with silver and red rims ages ago, but at that stage only had a POD and exhaust or something? And that was a show saying they were gonna road test a few imports and apart from a 4 door skyline, they didnt do any.

Oh, and if you count the NA soarer they riced up, that makes 2.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
