Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

This thread has been a consistent delivery of lols, very impressed :D

Thinking i might start to Nav, i don't earn the bucks like you blokes, be a fun way to get into it. Plus I'm a good passenger, especially on dirt roads in WRXs ha ha.

I started as a nav for a mate, we had a ball until family stepped in the way. Then I navved for another dude, then he quite it too. I couldn't turn my back on it, so I decided to turn tricks on weekends to help fund it. Kind of painful having to turn Benson away all the time, I told him I don't know how many times that I don't roll that way but he's insistent. Maybe he just sees me as a challenge?

Just one... you're in a class of your own Woo!!

Poof. Aren't you still overseas or somethin? If not, GO BACK!

Your Nav? Hang on! What have I missed? Can you drives withs gears?

Supaloc, new V12 thing innit? Reading the tests on them, they sound absolutely amazing, a huge leap forward from the Murci, the last actual Italian designed one.

Was speaking to Baldrick on the weekend, and he recons that YT has a new Gallardo, and weeks is running Murci and not the Aventadore. But it's from Baldrick so they could still rock up in anything.

But, Big John did get a new Gallardo it turned up during targa this year.

Aventadore, maybe its a hybrid Commoghini?

Yellow Racing - ZR1?? :)

They went to the States recently and track tested a whole bunch of stuff from Ferrari to Vettes..... not sure what the preference was. I do recall one of them telling me that the Z06 was more suitable to racing than the ZR1. Unsure why though.

Same for Z06 though. They actually took a car to my mate across the road who does lots of cages (and many of theirs prior), he suggested that the entire car would need to come apart to do it properly (basically make a self supporting steel cage in and undr the car), but they decided to take it away and have it done elsewhere. Not sure of the outcome.

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
