Can't believe I forgot. Saw a blue TVR convertible driven by middle aged guy on Melbourne Rd, Williamstown on Friday around 3.30 pm. Had yellow standard plates - think thats SA. Not really up to speed with my TVR models, but I think it was a Chimaera.

First TVR I had ever seen in the flesh. Was one of those initial "wtf is that" experiences while driving.

We had a drive day today - but no Maserati.

Would have been black Ferrari, yellow Lamborghini, orange Lotus, grey Aston Martin, grey R8, grey E63 and black RS4

ah k nice nice, wasnt 100% sure on all the cars I saw, they all drove past pretty quickly.

You drove past the tank ride venue on boneo road. Hidden behind the trees was this roaming around :)

Red Ferrari (looked like a current shape, I have no idea on models) and a yellow Lambo Gallardo parked in Coldstream and then following me into Lilydale at about 11am today. Reasonably young lady driving the red Fezza, guy driving the Lambo.

So I was in Cannes a couple days back enjoying the south of France on my honeymoon when she caught my eye going down the other side of the road. Glammed up coz it's Cannes and the film festival was on.

I ran across the road to catch a better look and whipped out the camera quick smart to grab a shot of one of the biggest celebrities I'd seen on my trip. Alas, by the time I got there, she had left her space not to be seen again. What was it that I ran across the road for with camera ready?

McLaren Mercedes SLR in CHROME paint job!!! Uber hotness! I think I pee-ed a little in my pants when I saw it but certainly needed a change of undies when it roared off down the road. All was not lost though as I saw 2 more that day along with a 430 Scud, Aston Martin DBS, Bentley Brooklands, Lambo Reventon, countless Bentley ragtops, a new Z4 (one of the cheaper cars there), other Fezzas and numerous other exotics. Photos to come.

I've been truely humbled.

Was in Monaco yesterday for the GP too and saw some nice examples of motoring but it had nothing on Cannes. Going to Monte Carlo Casino today to play James Bond. Will certainly have camera in tow to take some shots of the cars parked out front.

I was at Grays Auctions last week and there is a repo F430 Spider there coming up for auction soon. Red with black interior, just looks sweet. I'm hoping James buys it for me .......... to deliver :D .... please..... mate...

I just wish I could work again and afford the P1 membership.

Performance forums are putting together a fund for a group buy....

BTW, been hiding under a rock there Geoff? Coming back to Melbourne some time for beers?

Almost crippled mate. Nerve damage gone haywire. I can't drive a lot of the time from pain. I'm up for a computer implant trial monday to see if we can control the pain.

If things turn around I'll be trying to get around to make a nuisance of myself.

Army caused it, but the medicals are covered by the biggest bunch of 2 faced scum in government - Veterans Affairs. I heard over 40 ex-service members took their life out of frustration from trying to deal with them last year. I can understand why.

They can take their piddling pension and shove it, I just want to be able to do what I like, including getting back on a 6 figure income.

Warning: This car might be better than sex

I don't know if it's real but if it's not the guy really pulled out all the stops to make a replica Shelby GT500 Super Snake IT'S HOT!

Nope, it's real alright. Check Here

Mustang Motorsports is somewhere around where I live, so i see a few of them infrequently.

They're also a Saleen Dealer, had the "POLITE" one painted up like Barricade from the Transformers film.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
