  1. I thought the previous car was a gem, but this one takes the cake. Can't believe I forgot I had this on my phone. Once again, in China. Even though I have no idea what the base car is, he's probably tripled its value with the bodykit and stickers. Note the TRD, Citreon, Honda Type-R and Nissan GT-R decals. I know China's the home of rice but this is a bit too far lol.
  2. Saw this in northern China recently. Modified cars and sports cars are extremely rare in China as the rich people mainly focus on luxury/prestige brands. Thought I'd share. Sorry for the low-res iphone pic, but the badges say BMW M3. The bodykit is probably something some guy knocked up in his garage. The exhaust pays homage to the 100kw under the hood lol. The base car is called a Brilliance BS4. I think the name says it all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brilliance_BS4
  3. LOL. Guess paddle shifters means one-armed people can drive manual. Seen that car a few times. LOL first time I read that I thought an R33 had ploughed into your wagon.

  5. Hi guys, just wondering about the system that parkin inspectors use. Apart from a few bastard councils who can afford nice photo technology for their parking inspectors from all the fines they've cashed, parking inspectors still mainly use chalk on tyres I think. My question is, does anyone know how the chalk system works? Does each parking area score a different colour chalk? Does the inspector chalk a different tyre depending on time of day? etc How are they sure the car they've chalked hasn't gone and come back and parked in the same spot? Must be cuz of the position on the tyre yeah? For example, if I am parked in a 1 hour zone. I get in the car at 55 mins and move a car space forward. Does that mean I get another hour? How about if I get in at 55 mins, do a U-turn, then park in the SAME spot. The chalk on the tyre is obviously not in the same position anymore. I've never been caught out doing these things. It sure as hell beats driving 5 blocks for 20 mins trying to find another park.
  6. Hey I saw that stuff on Beyond2000 like 2 years ago. They were trialling it interstate in Brisbane or somewhere. Not sure if it was the same, but it looked like these round reflective discs embedded in the ground.
  7. "Have the Party you and all your friends will be talking about." "The seller will not accept returns for this item." LOL
  8. LOL I am pretty sure those private carparks like CarePark will not chase you up for not paying fines. They are owned by private companies, not by councils. I think speed/red light camera fines, the domain of VicPol are the ones you only need to worry about as you can't renew your car registration without clearing them I believe. With outstanding council fines that may also be in the worst case scenario. If you have thousands of dollars you may be asked to do community service. But fines from privately operated carparks probably won't haunt you. It is really not worth them trying to get $60 off you by going to VCAT or whatever. I could be wrong, but that's what I've heard.
  9. I just got an infringement notice in the mail. It says my car was photographed parked in a bus zone a few weeks ago. WTF? I haven't parked illegally for years. I hate paying parking fines. I don't even remember the event happening. I must have stopped there to drop someone off or something. The first time in my life I got a parking ticket in the mail without meeting an inspector. Do the bastard council workers stake out the bus zones with their telephoto cameras and snap whoever stops there for a second? Has this happened to anyone else?
  10. Damn, yeah that car was nice. Unique ride on the GOR cruise. So a total write-off? Hope he was properly insured. At least he's ok.
  11. ROFL Love how they list "Sunroof" as a feature when it's an F430 spyder

  13. LOL
  14. I lol'd Fark man. Your brakes are worth more than most cars on the road.
  15. http://jalopnik.com/5271247/scary-caterpil...ack-honda-civic Sorry if it's been posted before. If I just came back from my holiday to find my car and whole street like that I'd be freaking out.
  16. SAU-Vic stickered Burgundy R33 GTS-?T near North Williamstown station today at 6:10 pm.
  17. Yeah the pure density of European supercars in, well, Europe is staggering. Saw a huge Porsche club when I was in Switzerland. Had about 20 Porsches, including 2 Carrera GTs, 5-6 GT2s and turbos and some RUF pron.
  18. WOah! Awesome Do they have a firing range too? lol
  19. Lindsay Fox went to the same school as me. If only I was 30 years older and his good mate. I'm sure he wouldn't mind building a half-decent race track. Heck, he already owns the Phillip Island track.
  20. Can't believe I forgot. Saw a blue TVR convertible driven by middle aged guy on Melbourne Rd, Williamstown on Friday around 3.30 pm. Had yellow standard plates - think thats SA. Not really up to speed with my TVR models, but I think it was a Chimaera. First TVR I had ever seen in the flesh. Was one of those initial "wtf is that" experiences while driving.
  21. Saw two Ferrari 360s this arvo, both with standard plates starting with W, one red and one yellow around highpoint.
  22. Black R35 GTR on Toorak Rd, Sth Yarra around lunchtime. Driven by white-haired guy., Plates were WYP*** White R32 GTR parked in same area with standard plates as well. Had aftermarket bonnet with vents.
  23. If you want fastest car for that price range, 2003 Evo 8 pwnage. Still has 4 doors. If you want space, practicality, (relative) luxury how bout a Stag? If you want more luxury and don't care too much about reliability how bout an E46 M3?
  24. Black R35 GTR Dynon Rd around 7.30 am, plates were [WY****] Black R34 Gt 4-door driven by asian guy city bound on Vic St around 5.30 pm.
