It is black but sounds as though it has a fancy gearbox rather then a manual. My first thought was Steve Stowdens old car, post finance company rebuild to street car spec etc. But it woudl incluce a gearbox change...either way theyu bloke has cut me off on the footpath twice now. Next time i car jack him and come race you in whatever P1 car available :/

spotted these beauties in Adelaide today :D:)

This thing is so insanely quick out of the corners, it gave the safety car plenty of room before it did some fast run's up the straight. The CCR was awesome to watch with the flames spitting out the rear end

Almost forgot this one, it was a late inclusion as the Carrera GT didn't make it (the driver was hesitant to go fast out on track and was holding up the ford GT and ferraris so they ended up passing it down the straight :) ). Unfortunately the spyker didn't make it either :D

Greg - that's the new Gran Turismo. Beautiful car.

Re: extreme machines at Clipsall...

That's our K-Segg and the Ford GT (black one) is the first RHD car from Craig. He came past on the way to dropping it at Zagame for shipping to Adelaide.

I've been in that Zonda. Still the only one in the country.

Good to see the Bug here - brought over by Bugatti. Word on the street is there are 5 confirmed orders for cars to be sold in Aus.

nice, i was wondering about the CCR having seen your pics earlier in this thread.

unfortunately the 959 found the concrete barrier today with the driver looping around and hitting the front corner in the chicane. Hopefully there are some spare bumpers around for them.

Mark Coffey is over here over seeing his ferrari in the GT series (not doing a bad job pole with over 3.3seconds back to second) I thought the 599 may have been his but it didn't have his VIC plates on it (NSW rego)

Saw a few nice cars in Sydney while dropping off the Porsche 911 (997) Carrera S Cabriolet (what a mouthful). A nice black Lambo Gallardo, some nice Mercs...then got to P1 Supercars new Sydney Office. Sorry for phone pics.

There was this guy's photo....he's on the far left. Generally known as that guy from P1.

The view out from the office..... L-R Maserati quattroporte, the Porka and the Gallardo spyder

And my taxi to the Casino and the ariel atom up the front of the building

The taxi was of course the Fezza 360 Challenge Stradale. The only silver one in Oz.

I've parked like that before. Well over toward a handicapped park and a metre from the kerb. Was in a Gallardo too :banana:

James, the pleasure was all mine. It takes a while to discover what a great machine it is. Effortless and a car for almost all occasions are terms that spring to mind. And the CS (which I understand is Ians' favourite) is just wicked. What a crazy car. Race mode FTW Ian!!!

spotted a rather second hand looking CCR today,

James i hope it isn't to badly damaged, looked like some panel damage and i hear there was a fire in the engine bay. The car looked very unstable coming out of a few of the corners

Needs a rear wing...

Uh oh.

that doesn't sound promising

not good that 2 of the 11 cars ended up damaged (pitty it wasn't any of the Lamborghini Melbourne cars instead, i wouldn't be to upset if Mr Smith had to fix his up)

After talking with Mark for a while i found out it is his / raftis 599

Edited by Whiplash

Is more a general uh-oh as its never good to see anything bad happen to a car like that :laugh:

It's not part of our active fleet, and as such I'm not sure who'll have the cheque book out to get it fixed. I just don't think we'll see it back in the Sydney showroom for a while...

Lucky the Veyron stayed off the walls though :P

I knew the 599 was Tony's (plate is TR 599) - but I am not sure who owns the 959. I know Lindsay has a silver one, but knowing him - there's probably a few more stashed away.

yeah Peters name was on the information about the car.

for some reason i thought the 599 had NSW plates (should have looked clearly)

the veyron only stretched it legs down the straight, I'm sure the sigt of a spinning 858 infront of it as it came into the chicane was enough to make him drive slowly though the corners.

Is more a general uh-oh as its never good to see anything bad happen to a car like that smile.gif

couldn't believe the amount of dick heads in the crowd cheering and clapping when it spun into the wall.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
