Well with the shitty exchange rate these days savings wont be as much but should still be cheaper. From memory my diamond from the states was over half the price compared to Aus

$15k for diamond? Baller!

My opinion is cut is the most important. It determines the 'brilliance' and sparkle

Clarity and colour. Just go for the best that the eye can see. Why pay for double for imperfections that you can only see under a micrscope at 100x zoom

Then just go for the biggest diamond lol

Make sure to inspect and get a report on the diamond, can get independant along with the GIA report to make sure its not dodgey

lol had an argument with a (Chinese!) colleague about clarity the other day...he maintained it was worthwhile cause if his wife is in a room with other women they'll be comparing diamonds and next to another diamond they'll see the difference in clarity...I said you need to find another woman

Thanks Ric...should have you round for a drink nohomo...did you notice the Versace decanter?

IMO trick is to buy grog too expensive to drink on the daily (am aware I have baileys and midori in there; it's a rule of thumb jack ass). And replace what you do take when you take it.

Haha do it fgt.. I did see the decanter, very nice

That's basically my strategy for keeping it stocked. My henny and patron don't get touched a lot. Been through more Tanqueray than I care to remember though

Will probably do another Dan Murphy's run soonish

Any connoisseur of the rare and exotic needs to visit Nick's wine merchants in Doncaster if you haven't already

In fact everyone should visit regardless, and even if you've already been there

mmm chartruese.

been off it for a while and then had some the other night with lemon cordial. made me remember why i used to rave on about decent spirits. had a few too many beers over the course of last week and felt like crap overall. will make the change.

i need me a decent cocktail making set and some whiskey glasses (im not into whiskey, its for the new front table in the gloria) do versace sell whiskey glasses?

I cracked open a 6 year old bottle of chartreuse 110 the other day

Surprisingly smoother than I remember it...either my tastebuds and throat have changed or that drink got smoother with time, which it really shouldn't given the content

You're damn right they do son

Thick bottomed ones with the Medusa head suspended in the middle

Almost pulled the trigger on them when I bought the vase

You got older

Your taste buds died a little

Your whole body is dying

We are all dying

Little by little

Every day

This is what I explain to people when they turn their nose up at white wine and tell me when you're more "experienced" you'll have an appreciation for red over white

No mofo, you just lost your sweet tooth

f**kin lol, glad my missus loves diamond simulants just the same, and would be happy with a ring that costs 1-2 grand max.

Not entirely... If i drink white it's not that sweet shit. Never liked it.

Yeah but those people usually scoff at the thought of a dessert wine or a moscato

Pretty funny even cellar door people have bagged them out when they are selling the fkin stuff

Nothing wrong with a desert wine to accompany a desert.

The correct way to have dinner is:

While waiting for your table, Belvedere martini (franklin)

Upon besing seated and perusing the menu Draft beer or champagne if it's an occasion.

Order food and request a wine match for each course.

Drink beers in between courses to cleanse your pallate.

if desert, desert wine

If cheese, choose cheese and request wine match.

After desert XO Armagnac as a digestive.

Then elsewhere for scotch

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
