nice one ash. I'm waiting for James to give me the keys to the p1 GT so i can take some schnaps of it.

Thanks! Met James a couple weeks ago before our trip - he brought the Gallardo Spyder along (at my prompting! :O )... YUM! Didn't get any decent shots of it, wish we coulda taken it to Tassie with us. :rofl:

As for the GT... It's sumptuous luxury and absolutely stunning to look at - but it's really not an exciting car, would be fantastic on the outback roads at 250+ or tootling around in traffic, but on sporty B-roads, forget it! I spent about 45mins to an hour in it on the twisty stuff and couldn't wait to get back into the Elise or F430.

Mates dad just bought a MkI 996 GT3 in Orange - only one in the country. It is unbelievable, I'm in love with them even more now. The sound, oh my, the sound...

That the one with NSW Rego? 996GT3 or something?

If so, *fap fap fap*

It's an acquired taste mate, but most won't try it because they don't want to be in the sub zero section of the cool wall.

Teak decking? That reminds me the big boat show is on at Sanctuary Cove. Most go for a look and get ideas for the 40 footer.

Teak deck on a car?? wtf

my dad specialises in teak decking on boats and what not...is that the boat show that was on last week?? he was up there for that too

360 challenge stradale parked in a power pole...

His daddy won't be too pleased

I think the 360CS is currently sitting at a panel shop in the northern suburbs (I don't know if I should name the panel shop, you never know who reads these threads and what they'd do). I see a red 360 with HEAVY front end damage and what appears to be white racing stripes down the middle every morning when I go to uni.

Not 100% sure if its the same car, but it can't be a coincidence can it?

Sounds like Carpenters.

There are always Ferrari's and Maserati's at that place.

Yeah that was the one. And the Rolls drophead ban be done with a timber rear deck of some type. The boat show as all about floating penises. Very few liveaboards, it was all flashy open plan style for impressing the corporate whores. Some good stuff on sale. A supplier in Archerfield has a finish you can brush on and not know the diff between that and sprayed 2 Pack except it was much smoother.......

Spotted this if you need another James.... http://www.graysonline.com.au/sale.asp?SALE_ID=116464

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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.
