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

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
