Old fart? mate I'm 41 and that in anyone's language is an old fart :)

Back on topic. I have had the pleasure of the 300kmh ride. 1000hp Supra on Calder raceway.

LOL even old Bob launched it off the line, but backed off. A great day I'll always remember ...

How long did it take to get to that speed? Was it pretty much full throttle the whole way? Any cars overtake you? :)

Well I was cruising around 200-220 most of the time unless somone was in front of me. And then it took what felt like about 2kms from there with my foot flat to the floor to get up around that speed. I reckon to get it up to its max, which is 305, you would need a fair bit of space. However 0-100 4.7 and 0-200 is 16 sec and takes around 600m at a guess, and with lanch contoll I believe its even quicker. Officially I think its 0-100 in 4.1sec with lanch controll. That was insane.

And no cars overtook us at all. THere were a quite a few that were cruising round 200, but we didnt see any super cars out that night except for going the opposite direction. There are some amazing cars on the streets of berlin though. Ferrari 599gtb, Mclaren SLR, audi R8 v10, cl63 amg, 911 turbos everywhere........to name just a few you will see down the main drag of Mitte.

Yeh, i gota do this...

ppl dont understand how crazy that road really is, i watch a tv program on it, and its amazing the technology that is used to make this road operational. Its the safest road in the world... btw

i still think going 230 on aussie roads is fast tho... bmw 335 ftw!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
