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

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.

    • The 32 still sits untouched with the broken gearbox. So a little off topic but not worth having a whole new thread. The daily starlet has gotten back on the road after 9 months. Suspected blown HeadGasket at a track day resulted in a bit of scope creep rebuild. The motor got a full tear down, pressure testing, machined for MLS HG, ARP head bolts, new bearings, all new seals etc also noticed some fatigue on the stock exhaust manifold so obviously the answer was a steam pipe manifold and highflow turbo. The exhaust was also looking tired with some rust holes. So I got a slightly over kill system made up consisting of Vibrant resonator and muffler with a highflow cat. The new highflow turbo had a larger inlet so instead of adapting the old intake got a case of the might as wells and had a nicer alloy intake made After the run in was finished i bought a (probably considered retro/vintage) EBC becasue "might as well"
    • Pretty stout result. How much boost? Anything left in it?
    • Just dropped the car off at MX5 Mania to install the intake plenum and give it a little retune  My impatience hates the waiting game 
    • SAMSONAS      Just saying      U know and we know U wanna     Just a matter of time....
    • This is kind of what I expected given the use case. I took my liners out for track days too.... It makes me consider just getting a diffuser and not bothering with the arch liners themselves. For the most part I would like to avoid water/mud/jank splashing up from under the car onto the bottom of the engine, lines, wiring, etc etc. (but brake ducts are cool too). Especially given this post on SAU here: Where it's implied you have to cut them because the actual tub is different? Which is pretty damn worrying because that is where the liners rub in a GTR with wider wheels... I definitely won't want to pay $2000 for plastic then cut them up. It also means said wider wheels rub on the tub in a GTT? FML. That said, I have found some evidence someone ran a 295/30/18 without scrubbing these liners. (and by extension.. the tub).
