C-Red

We actually stumbled across that bit of the show by accident while we were looking around the side streets for cool cars. We actually found last years G Corp Sileighty parked along the canal. Jash

I recently had one of the guys from Garage Thrash out. He was a big Wangan runner in Saitama/Tokyo and has maxxed his T04R'ed 32R out at 3 bucks on the Wangan near Saitama. He was saying that the Garage Thrash demo 32R tops out at 3 bucks 20 on the Tokyo Bay Tunnel which apparently is the wangan of choice in the Tokes area these days. He promises me some full on Wangan action in Tokes next year. Also Shibata from R31 House promised to hook me up with the Masa Motorsport guys for some Winding SPL action. Jash

Ta Dude, They all get regularly abused too. Although I really do think for the show to become more relevant to 90% of the punters they need to have a judging criterea based on the everyday streetability of the cars. Jash

There was 1 DR30 on display DaiOni - The Tomica DR30 Touring Car was on display on the Bridgestone/Nismo stand in the carpark on the far side of Makuhari. There's a pic of it in one of our galleries. Jash

You still got those Turbs? You should have taken my 3k 6 weeks ago. Jash

The 14 has a Satin Black roof and bonnet, and yes its the POS I got from Riaz. Not much is the same though. Jash

We were all bummed out when we heard about your loss at the shop dude. Keep your head up and a smile on your dial if you can... Jash

Verging on toe - you musnt have been around at the right time dude... Jash

Dude, Take the little J girlies to Universal on Friday night, then on to the Mustang Bar or similar. The Queens is also quite amusing on a Friday night. Also I've taken a couple of batches of Js (East Bear, R31 House and Garage Thrash) for a bit of OBH action. It spins them out that you can have a fat arse steak and a few tubes in full view of the ocean. Jash PS Hey Rezz for a laugh check out Shibata's diary at www.r31house.co.jp - his description of Uni Bar and The Red Windmill is classic.

The Batty Boys are OK, I find the fooly sick mayte crew to be much more annoying mayte. I highly recommend the tall blonde chick that drives an A6 on 18s, very cute and very surly... Jash

Watch your arse at that Zest mate, particularly at beautiful people time. Good for your strike rate though if you're the only guy in the gym that goes for the opposite sex. Jash

You'd better: a) Find a real good genuine low k R32 GT-R and pay upwards of 25 for it on-road or: B) Get real chummy with a local workshop as just about any "80,000km" car from a broker will require some work... Jash

Did a 12 flat at 124 last time, mainly due to me being soft and not wanting to break the box. I've got an OS Giken Cross Mission now which *should* handle it. Honestly couldnt say what sort of times it will run. Jash

Dude, I didnt recognise you, I think I've only met you once before. As for the AAH we're prepping it for Fag Combat rather than Auto Salon. If it makes it to both well and good. Jash

No, I've got a few coming though - not for another few weeks though. Jash

TJ, getting the AAH ready for PUS isnt a priority - we're starting, but its not high on the agenda. Jash

Sumna, My Hard To Get Blue Cef is Euro Vip Style. Dishy Dishy 18s, DTM Exhaust, On its arse with a bit of AV action. Basically its more or less stock - 2510, GT-R Coolah - usual stuff. Jash

Paul, Probably not, I dont think we'll have the box built in time. We're prepping it for Fag Combat though. Jash

Cabin is the larger, better run of the two shows. We'll be debuting two new cars at this years show. I also have a dark blue A31 that will be there, mine is far from rough though. Jash

How about posting it up here? Based on your previous comments it should be a hoot. Jash

Yeah bugger ya - 300. Can you drop em off? Drop me a mail before you come out. Jash

I'm interested, and I've got plenty of S14 stuff. Drop me a mail - [email protected] Jash

Give ya 250. Jash

Humans, The last of our car based J Galleries are up: http://www.c-red.com.au/gallery/index.shtml The Race Queen galleries - complete with amusing captions will be up over the weekend. Jash

The fact is that NONE of you have the balls, inclination, time or energy to take leadership and stand up against this bullshit the government is handing to us yourselves. Where the F*CK where you when they screwed RAWS over and changed it to SEVS? sitting in a Maccas car park smoking your ciggas and looking k00l listening to your rap music? probably. I have no respect for you little turds, and a LOT of respect for Geoff and anyone who's trying to help fight the governments anti-grey attitude.. because in 5 years from now when grey imports are so overtaxed and impossible to import due to over regulation, you will be the one feeling the pain, wishing you had done something, you useless, pathetic little morons. Pentae, DRIFTT and I both know a decision has been made, if the feds were really concerned about input they would have had more than a 6 week consulatation window. Its not about having "balls, inclination, time or energy" its about picking your fights - if I know that a decision has been set in stone, why fight it? And as for "screwed RAWS over and changed it to SEVS" well the less said about that the better...Facts are I and others fought long and hard to retain the old low volume scheme, spent quite a bit of money too, but the facts remain that the government bureaucracy in this country doesnt want grey imports, nor for that matter do many governments worldwide. Deal with it. Its not going to change. Everyone in the industry has known that the 15 year was a loophole that would be closed - I'm actually suprised they've taken so long doing it. As DRIFTT said the 15 year rule was legislated for enthusiast and club vehicles - real old shit - MGBs, Austin Healeys - Old Mustangs etc etc - Not Pajeros or Dynas. The legislated unworkability of the RAWS scheme has led to 15 year old cars coming in unprecedented numbers - thats fine RAWS was never meant to work in any volume anyway. I hope that your reasoned, informed writing style isnt indicative of the standard thats being generated for this campaign, if it is the 15 year rule is doomed for sure. Jash
