thanks for the heads up shonen! i would'nt have found this thread otherwise! heya all! some familiar faces here! erik (of course, the sucker who bought my car hehehe j/k!), mr wakefield himself duncan! nick aka pin up boy for sau! =) good job on the research akeenan, yup, that looks to be the part for the wing. unfortunately with imports you dont quite know what to expect! that was a top car, only thing left was to squeeze more power out of it but i didnt quite get there and neither did erik, maybe dr_mafia will! that car was brought in as is with the exception of the front bar which was replaced with the top secret copy (and all the hypo bits of course which was all part of so called my "investment") this is what it looked like originally from japan, that front lower lip (all beit with a terrible paint match) lasted all of 2 weeks before succumbing to a petrol station driveway where it just completely ripped off! =) http://www.markpakula.com/~franks/gallery2...?g2_itemId=2290 dr_mafia, what do you have installed for its 3rd generation in oz!!! hahah no i dont have a h2 hummer, although i wish i did! i just rented it whilst i was in miami =) the h3 will be in oz in 2007 anyway! my only association with cars these days is with the r/c kind ie. my tamiya =) that'll change soon. back in oz by december!

haha, indeed btw, just to keep relevance to the thread, i have no idea of any girls cruise, however, i would believe benm in a wig pretending he was a chick in order to pick up chicks

thumbs up for CarMate, great price for the supply and fit of my front bar for my old R34 GTT. on time fit perfect. service was fine. but, i think you'll find good and bad experiences with everything...

benm, how did i know you'd be fully into this thread you man whore somethings just dont change

can't those boys from nismo think of something more creative of silver car, black wheels and a few red stripes? what would you say best car at the show was? stock enzo???

great pics nick! how does say tas2005 compare to 2004? aside from the array of skylines on show, any new developments with say NA cars? how about the RX8? what has japan got to offer next? oh and by the way guys, t!ts are usless and ugly when gravity gets the better of them!

hahah yeah, totally wicked... excuse my girlish shrill and wobbly hand in this video of Nelly performing movie encoded with XVid: http://franks.goldsend.com.au/gallery/albu...26/MVI_0901.avi

happy new year!!! a shot of Sydney harbour and the bridge and the fireworks made a front cover of The New York Times this morning (they have multiple front covers depending on which version)! how awesome...we seriously do have the most spectacular harbour in the world! i was at a nightclub in NYC called PM. pretty exclusive club, somewhere id never be able to get into on a regular night!!! Nelly made an appearance and sang "Its Gettin Hot in Here" which was more spectacular than that silly ball dropping in Time Square

was awesome! totally unexpected! he came on at about 11:30pm on a monday night. apparently a few famous comedians do guest appearances to practise their material etc. people like jerry, robin williams and ray murano...i was very lucky. i know people in the office at work who have gone there several times without someone dropping in hahah clothes & accessories, camera gear & most electronics shopping is crazy good ... food and drinks dollar for dollar is on par with sydney, except that you'd earn less here than back home... have been here since June 05 will be here till next December. lived in Charleston, SC for 3 months, now in NYC for 15 months. have been to Charleston, Miami, Las Vegas, Chicago, NYC. hoping to get to a few west side states! haha, yeah...was in Miami a few months back and Winter is now upon us in NYC. time to get some boarding in! like basketball? madison square garden my mate mark and his wife are staying with me atm, nba champs the spurs came to town (and also went to town on the Knicks) more pics at http://www.markpakula.com/knicks damn, Parker has it all...plays in the NBA, mulit million dollar contract and then goes home to shag Eva Longoria every night ... bastard

The Jordan statue! The Hummer H2 we rented and Key West, Florida one of the bridges on the way down to Key West south beach, miami. ocean drive. central park, NY's first snow. looking back into NYC from the park a familiar face! happened to drop into the comedy bar i was at for a set!

my X friends X cars...

TAS 2004 nowra, nsw pain. my nephew

yup, i did it with a powerfc

when my old 34GTT came over from japan it had the stock front bumper with east bear front lip (technically it was IN the car not ON the car). it was damaged during transit (in 2 pieces) and i wanted it fixed and put back on the car because it did look amazing. amazing - but at a price. its far too low and my car wasn't even that low. i went up a driveway at an angle which obviously wasnt fine enough and it snapped off as easy as taking a lolly from a kid. make sure its plastic or dont even bother on australian roads....

sorry to hear, thats aweful news... what hummer? H1? 2? ... 3? apparently GM australia are delivering the H3 in 2007....?!?! that'd be cool!

brazen, that sounds farking awesome. i wish you all the best on your new arrival and i say "sufffffer" whilst you wait in anticipation silver-arrowz, currently in charleston, south carolina. moving up to new york city in 2 weeks. will be back in syd-a-ney next december. i rented a H2 Hummer last weekend hahaha... i met some friends down at Miami for the long weekend and there are Hummer's everywhere!!! but it was still very fun cruising south beach in "just another Hummer". Its nothing like a Brighton Le Sands scene, cruising south beach is THE thing to do! We then took the Hummer down to just shy of Key West, through the Florida Keys. this was a 6 hr round trip and the Hummer was averaging 11 miles/gallon which worked out to be around 20l/100km hahaha, freeway driving i think it suits me.

hey dunc! you can just call me some "US dude, yo" if you want i havent come across a super chiller yet, but i saw on "myth busters" that an esky full of ice and salt will get a warm beer very cold very quick :) i guess thats what a super chiller is! Hahaha...
