Was back in Sydney over the weekend for a wedding. Anyway when walking from China Town to the Rocks at around midnight these are the following cars i saw, in order that i saw them

- Yello Dodge Viper , 1st one i have ever seen on the road

- Yellow 355 Convertible,

- Yellow Lotus Espirit S4

- Yellow Lamb Murcilago (Spelling???)

... all yellow and all worth serious bankroll, have to say is take the Viper then the Lotus, but wouldnt complain if i had any of them.

I honestly think that part of owning a Ferrari is just enjoying that motor spin up.

I mean I honestly would have a better day at work if I could spin up the 3.5 litre v8 every morning and frighten the kids at the bus stop and annoy the neighbours.

Wonderful sounding motor.

I wouldn't bother with Porsches and Vipers.

T.

in my area, which i thought was predominantly students & the like, i see an alarming number of diablos & the occasional 360. dont know what they're doing in the newtown/stanmore area..

phat sounding cars though. 1st gear seems to go forever

I work close to the Westin Hotel in Sydney. Whenever you are in the city, take a walk past there and check out some of the weapons parked in their driveway. There are often 2-3 brand new Ferraris there - I think some Ferrari dealer must put people up in the Hotel for the night and deliver them there.

I have seen (parked in a row)

Red 355GT

Yellow 360 Modena

Red F50

Other cars I have seen there:

Red/orange Porche GT3 Turbo

At least 4 different Porche GT2 Turbos

Several Maseratis

Aston Martin DB7

Nissan Skyline R33 GTST M-Spec (mine) :)

Other less interesting cars like Bentleys and big RR tanks

....the list goes on

The guy in the 355 was by himself doing laps, man if i had that car id be going up Bells Line of Road or Putty Rd etc, not at 5km/h down George Street.
Their are no women walking up n down the Putty Rd, I'd be doing what he is :boobies2:

    • I might just check it out.. A Q among all those skylines.. lol
    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
