  1. Wow. That's appalling! Bet you walked out of there pretty fast!
  2. Nice shot Serge. Look at all that standing water!
  3. fatz - what are the most common places for rust that you've seen so far? Chassis rails? Underneath boot carpet?
  4. Cars (like all assets) are worth what people will pay for them - we've all heard that I'm sure. Genuine, numbers matching HO Falcons with history have gone for high six-figures. Brock Commodores now go for around the 100K mark or slightly under. While I won't put the Nurs and N1s in the league of the HOs (at this point in time, and in the Aus market), the rare Skylines mean a lot to a certain group of people and to me their prices are justified in that regard. The question is; the Falcons appeal/appealed to the Baby Boomer generation because that's when they had their day, and were significant to that generation - in the 70s. And when that generation could afford them, that's when the demand came (and the prices skyrocketed accordingly). Now, the GTRs mean a lot to both the guys (and girls) who watched Bathurst in the early 90s, and also a second cohort of people who grew up with them on the video game stage (Playstation generation). One has to ask, do these people currently have the money to afford the cars they so love - now, in 2, 5, or 10 years' time, or indeed has the time already passed? Like everything there will be a peak in demand. Just because something is expensive at a given point in time though, doesn't mean it isn't worth it. Cheers
  5. Actually now that you mention it, it did look like alex. I thought he looked familiar, haha
  6. Haha it's a '99 7 series, so it's not gangster but it *is* a bit of an old man's car. He did nod back but he mustve thought it was weird at first
  7. what's the other shit excuse? I'd happily bring the bimmer. would like to know wtf is going on at Motec if they can't figure out what the deal is with the software.
  8. Just saw a nice Bayside Blue R34 GT-R V spec with the Nismo skirts and black TEs in St Leonards - called out "looks great mate" or something to that effect, and thumbs up. I was in the bimmer though, so the guy was probably thinking wtf...
  9. This one? http://www.ebay.co.u...&orig_cvip=true The MNP3 one doesn't say how many units unfortunately. Looks like these brochures come up every now and then; as soon as Wei said he liked to see some proof I immediately remembered seeing the MNP2 brochure on eBay ages ago - just lucked out that there's a current listing for one as well. Shame the brochures are so expensive but it's a nice piece of Skyline history
  10. Nice finds Dale. I've seen that Gone in 60 Seconds Eleanor 'replica' around before and pretty sure there was actually more than one, being used for a wedding. Gorgeous car, one of the few Fords I actually like...
  11. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=251076081396 Brochure for MNP II
  12. Hog all you like Chris
  13. This one looks quite tidy:
  14. I've got tickets though - going out to ANZ! Bummed that I can't make it. But the GTR is still at the workshop, so I would probably have brought the other car anyway. TV would be nice though!
  15. It's the Vominator! Lol
  16. That's no good! Wondering how I might be able to fit in both...
  17. Looks awesome Dave. Edit - I just noticed how you can see the BRIDE logo in the rear view mirror!
  18. Yeah I know hey. Would come along for sure otherwise.
  19. Arrggh guys... it's on Grand Final day!
  20. Gorgeous colour. You start to see Lambo owners tart up their older cars now (like early Gallardos and even some Murcielagos) with carbon bits and the later model tail lights, side air intakes, etc and I think it completely ruins the car. To these eyes anyway, any of the 'last of the line' models, like your LP640, and the Countach Anniversary, Diablo 6.0, and LP560-4, are a perfect representation of each generation and don't need any sort of embellishment or addenda.
  21. Spotted at the Fish Markets on Saturday. Note sticker with instructions on how to open the door
  22. Amazing photo! It's fantastic that a mainstream manufacturer like Nissan actually did a series run in such a complex paint scheme. Have seen Eugene's car in the flesh and it is incredible. The MP 3 is possibly a little bit extrovert for my liking (I prefer MP 2 a bit more), but there really is nothing like MP 3 around, custom paint jobs and TVRs aside
  23. Longz on here has just listed his white Nur for about 70K I believe (on here and also Carsales).
