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

That's my decanter, thanks :)

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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
