this was at a Holden dealership.

its not actually a Holden dealership, its some sort of supercar dealership in the same building, I've also seen some lotuses and a TVR in there....

Its certainly no supercar, but I spotted a 2008 model HSV Grange yesterday...

The most interesting thing about it was the number plates: LS7 HSV :rolleyes:

LS7 is the 7.0L V8 from the Z06 isnt it!? Is this guy lying or is this a test mule maybe?

Phwoaah.. I didnt know they had the CCR in oz yet!

Good spot (even if by proxy! :))

ok sweet thanx 4 dat.. plus they didnt even have one at the motor show so i found it quite strange

Yeah I wasnt surprised that the Veyron wasnt there... 99% of all cars displayed are there for one reason - to be sold! There is no reason to go to the expense to display a Veyron if there is no plan to sell the car in australia (unfortunately for us! :w00t:).

The Sydney "International" Motor Show isnt really a hugely important show in the scheme of things anyway. The Lamborghini Reventon was going to be displayed this year, but they decided not to bring it here JUST IN CASE something went wrong with shipping and they werent able to get the car back in time for the Tokyo Motor Show... it shows how important we are! :D

Yeah, there was a guy on the news a while ago that owned one... and some shit happen with a bank, and the bank wanted to take it off him, so he hid it in some shed somewhere under some shit :D

I'm fairly sure these are unregisterable...

Spotted a whole bunch of Aston Martins, Porsches and various other luxo-mobiles just then, as I went with my old man to Trivett to pick up a car. All of Trivett's service centres are grouped together in Parra/Rosehill. Didn't see Samuel (WTF33R)'s car tho...

Also saw an AMG SLK about 10 minutes later - not sure if it was an SLK55 or 63 or what, but it sounded HOT!!!

    • 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 😂 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.
