You get Sin's son's Evo? Please tell me you got that beast.

Nah, I couldn't arrange a time with Matt to go and have a look at it, because of his work, before I went up to Sydney to have a look at a few. Ended up buying one that I had pre inspected before I went up.

Now just gotta get it through rego!

rofl Richard saw that, pretty retarded huh. Sounds like something I'd do.

Farking.

Cold AND foggy. You guys have it all!

[Trozzle]

hahahaha you love it mate

[RosieR34]

Fog is da best ! The thrill of driving in it and not crashing !

[Trozzle]

I love it when we're overwhelmed by fog in the morning, it really feels like you're on another planet. Kinda takes away the feeling of dread as you're driving to work lol

Going a bit off topic from the current topic of fog - but is there many youtube vids of "Godzilla" racing around Bathurst? I saw one video where the GTR creeped from x postion to 3rd or something in a matter of flattering laps, but the video was only like 6 minutes or so long. I would have loved to seen more of a AWD, V6, Twin Turbo rip it up in the days before the FIA got shell shock and wiped them off the scene.

Also - how did the R32 / Skyline (?) Get the name Gozilla? I know most of these questions can be answered from Google but I like to strike up a conversation every so often Also, does anyone know if the R34 is being used to race? I did a Youtube search and found one R34 but, lettuce be honest here... it didn't look like a R34 with all it's wings and fender-benders.

(I swear I'm not bored at work).

I've watched one in particular where it was in the wet....my god!!!

[Anfanee]

look up 1992 bathurst highlights on youtube. there is like a 2 hour long video. It was known as godzilla because it was the Japanese monster that won 29 out of 29 races. It was so far ahead of its time. If you have not watched the full 1992 bathurst race i suggest it. A lot of history behind the car.

Edit: ill also add that the r32 was removed from the race because of its advanced 4wd. nothing was quicker at the top of the mountain. The only cars that came close where the sierra cosworths, however they where running much higher boost and where designed more for straights. To make it a more fair playing ground they also removed the turbos.

If you watch the 1992 race you will see why a lot of people really hated the r32 GTR. It won that last race after it crashed out because when a race is black flagged they take the winner of the last completed lap (in this instance Jim+skaife).
