A slightly different twist on the "Supercar"; both are bona fide Supercars of their respective eras & country of origin.

While I was out at Wisemans ferry with a mate on the bike;

And no sooner had I finished taking these; this turned up!

This had massive 2 piece rotors & Brembos and a half cage that was so well hidden I didn't notice for about 5 mins!

Nice finds Dale. I've seen that Gone in 60 Seconds Eleanor 'replica' around before and pretty sure there was actually more than one, being used for a wedding. Gorgeous car, one of the few Fords I actually like...

That is Phil bailys car, he is my neighbor in sydney. He's the Ferrari club NSW accountant and the creator of ITP accountants "ITP I feel good". He owns a few muscle cars and exotics. I'll Post a pic

Of his collection sometime later today

The original gt500s look much better than the plastic crap that was made popular by a movie

Had a red one in a meeting room at a place I once worked. Genuine. Bloke was hiding it during a divorce ;)

Good thread bump.

Saw an LFA this morning on pennant hills road. Looked ok, but I wish I had a chance to hear it put the throttle down.

Wasn't a white one was it? There was a white LFA parked behind the pits at the Bathurst 12 hour yesterday, first time I have seen one in person.

I saw a QLD rego Landcruiser towing a trailer with LFA on the side this arvo; possibly the same car inside?

Someone had to bump it, went to The Star on Saturday night and there were 7 different lamborghinis parked including that white special edition Supertrofeo (1/100 made world wide), 2 Aventadores ($900k each).

A whole heap of Ferraris and Maseratis and a few Bentleys. Economy picking up maybe???

Forgot to mention, I saw an Enzo on trader plates around south Sydney ( for the dealership there). Was about 2pm last Thursday I think.

Sounded quiet. Must not have had the wank valve open! :P

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
