It's been a very busy world these last 3-months.

I pop in here most days, but there's not really that much going on relevant to me anymore, so I don't tend to post very often. Plus it's generally pretty boring :(

So...

Since March I've had the opportunity to tootle around in some amazing cars, whether beloning to P1, customers or just people who seem to think nothing of throwing me the keys and telling me to go for a spin. From this - I certainly have a few favourites... but would I buy any of them if I could?

And the answer is yes, yes I would.

So let's ask the question.

You have a 3-car garage. These are the only cars you would have - and so you would have to live with them every day.

What would they be?

* RULES - need to be available in Australia, so Veyrons are out. Need to be driven daily so LHD and race cars are out.

Here's a picture of a 3-car Garage to help you out:

BTW - for me...

1. Porsche 997 GT3

2. Audi RS4 Avant

3. P1 membership (I'm serious - I could never live with a Ferrari or Lambo, this would let me park something nice and special when I would be able to use it). Or a monster-truck Lada - it's a close call.

Yes, the GT3 - track spec (RS) is something ive dreamed about and heard/read a lot about over the years.

And a good porka looks HOT. And would be given a flogging being the track spec.

Second... that would be an Aston. For a daily :D

And 3rd, a Dodge Viper. Always loved them

I dunno if they are LHD when they get here, but ive seen them on the road before a number of times, so they must be legal if people are driving them with rego plates and stickers etc. That would be the weekender.

Well for me.........

1. New BMW M3 V8 version (even an E46 M3 CSL would be sweet)

2. R34 GT-R V-Spec Nur in Millenium Jade

3. Porsche GT3 RS in orange as the weekender

And if you include near future releases, well the new GT-R V6TT would have to slot in there somewhere :)

oh i like this thread!

1) Lotus exige S (the supercharged version)

2) r34 GTR Nur :)

3) Ferrari F430 spyder

if it was only 3 cars for fun/weekend those woudl be it....

Edit: no scratch that, id mix em up for work/weekend/fun usage! :)

yeah you can drive em lhd for some reason...but you can get places like sports & luxury cars to convert it to right hand drive

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
