ohhhhh arhhhhh I live 15 minutes from lakeside... Im in for sure... Can take my nephew for free too, awesome...

Ian, long time... Still into 32's eh damn it, first thought.... damn it, again...

id be looking very close at the twin spark system... if you did it at the same time as the vipec...

well im safe again this year... people need to read their monthly statement, cause if you leave it to the last minute you could get royally screwed

yeah i didnt stop, i just rolled through town got enough stares with QLD plates on the car Origin win hurt much?

ummmmm it was beautiful however i over ordered heaps worst part of going to get food when hungry got a spare burger for afternoon tea now... now just waiting for a movie to start i wanted to watch and pour a JB and coke...

im gonna go get me some brodies... steak burger, drive through, no need to get outof the pj's then im gonna watch all my "how its made" & "extreme engineering" shows IQ recorded for me over the last week

That all said if you can get it for half that, then awesome... Happy days... Enjoy your GTR

You want stupid insurance costs... 1973 GTR XU1 (genuine) fully original with 11,000 km on the clock, one owner... Owner is 61, has a clean history & would never let anything happen to his pride and joy... Insurance terms; * Only he can drive the car (no exceptions, or no insurance is given) * Not to be driven more than 100km in a day * Not to exceed 5000km per annum * QLD Club rego (so must comply with all those terms as well) * Must be inspected on an annual basis * Must be locked up in the garage of policy address * A few other little bits, nothing too important Anyway point being, Shannons insure this car... $3400 per year with a $25k excess... My point being, insurance companies all weigh up three things; * Risk * Value * Profit Then put it into a basic risk of payout ratio based on the car, driver and location... From these results a premium is calculated & the excess is negotiated... A car like the Torana mentioned is absolutely irreplaceable, nothing could replace that particular vehicle if it were stolen or destroyed... As such a price has been placed on its value & even tho its a very low risk car for an accident its the apple of many thieves eye, hence dad never takes it anywhere... If on the other hand you had a modern supercar (say a 35 GTR for example) if it gets stolen you can easily get another one tomorrow... That said if its an original Aussie delivered R32 GTR you have in show room condition, well its in the same boat as the Torana mentioned above... To my point of this, regardless of opinions of many in this thread the insurance company's have only one focus... profit... So to quote 5k on a r35 for a person with a fairly poor driving history on paper, well thats probably fair infact id go as far to say as cheap compaired to some other justcar users who pay similar for cars worth less than a third the value... Conclusion: Their here to make a profit and that's what they do well...

Too plain, I need meat... I do go one can of red bull left tho

yeah but shes gone to work... and there is bugger all to eat here, got cheese, got eggs, got nothing else...

i want breakfast damn it im not in a hotel today one gets used to someone else cleaning up my shit and making me food...

politicians, they lie, they cheat, they suck, they take your money... /end lesson in life

I love the pies in Kyogle... I always wanted to drive through Tenterfield humming "time is a traveler tenterfield saddler" Also I really wanted to have KFC in Glen Innes... Then had the urge to speed through Blad nob After that do the most awesome zig zag road in Australia on the Gwydir Highway near Cangai (so beautiful too) * Note 100kph zone, could barely do 80kph most of the way its just so tight and shits on the mountains we have around SEQ) So by then I needed more fuel, s in to Grafton for some juice (and red bull) By then I was going brain dead so shortest way home was to woodburn then Ballina, Tweed Heads & Gold Coast then home... Took me just on 12 hours, with approx 4x5 minute pee/fuel breaks... So probably only stopped for 20 minutes total, mainly to get fuel & more driving food/drink... So would you miss all this fun??? Sounds heaps better than jacking up the car and free spinning the engine for 12 hours...

FBT = fringe benefit tax You have to do a minimum of 25,000km per annum to slip under the 11% tax threshold on a leased car... In short if you do 24,600km for example in a year you then have to pay 14.5% tax for the value of the vehicle... So in my case that's a difference of approx $2000 Meaning if I hit my km's target I pay nothing more, if I don't hit the target I have to pay $2000 extra tax... Ive never had a problem doing 25k a year... However I just came back from 7 weeks annual leave an did not drive the car at all while away... So I have a compiled problem once I returned to work... So I needed 2500km on it ASAP... Now I am within 800km of the disposal target with 9 days to do it... So 100km a day and i'm all sweet now... No can do... I'm afraid the VE wont let you do that easily... When on the dyno at Godzilla we found multiple problems shot out from the computer in relation to the ABS system malfunction... Plus is really unsafe for the vehicle as demonstrated in "Ferris Buellers Day Off"

well i tipped over the km's i needed... i went away for the weekend hence the smaller km's but yeah the car can be handed back now with no FBT bill... and I get $6000 cash sold the SS for 6k more than the residual on the lease... sweeeeeettttt only one more week til my lexus arrives...

well i did 1000.46km today happy with that... only a light 150km to do tomorrow and mabybe 200km sunday and then home...

Yeah its ok, except we you gotta eat and there is noting but a really shit truck stop... I had the most distasteful chicken burger yesterday I lost it out the window at 100 (opps) I also have tail gaters with a passion, I got bum humped all the way from Cunninghams gap to Ipswich by a f**kwith in a suburu liberty... I even slowed down to 90 in the over taking zone to get him to pass, but instead he just keep up my arse... It was highly distracting in the dark al I had was headlights in my face (via the mirrors of course)....

i did 698km today got 900km more to do tomorrow

there is no name on the trophy... could be anyones, could be straight from the trophy store...
