AndyMac Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Saluations AutoSalon, Sydney wasn't as "ricey" as I thought. I thought that it actually improved since last year, still had heaps of bright cars/mega dollar interiors which most people here aren't into, but it had some nice cars too this year...

DLuded Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 when i saw the news it looked a little ricey but still some nice cars. i was dissapointed with "the car that flies" of whatever it was. it was just some crappy ute with hydrolics. i thought it would hav been a done up old school ute but i was wrong.

benm Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 My experience of the AutoSalon.... $2.20 M4 Toll into Homebush, $10 to park my car, then told It would be an hours wait to get into the showroom at the cost of $18, did a U-turn and went straight back home. I'll try and make it earlier next year I think. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15199-autosalon-photoscomments/#findComment-310210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR33 Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 I thought it was ok, although too much repeated from last year - i.e. same cars and even those flirt models performed the same routine!!! some nice R34's though.

Mr Rb20 Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 That metallic black Skyline you are referring to belongs to a friend of mine. He used to have a Supra which he converted to single turbo and got 300kw at the rear wheels. You may have seen it in a few magazines. Well, the new car is a R32 GTR which he personally flew to Japan to select. Amongst the goodies, it has a single turbo conversion (T88). It will hit the tracks soon. I would expect with over 450hp at the wheels, it should easily run 10's The plates are carried over from the Supra and are "FLYBYE". Also on display with this car was another GTR "DARDVL" which was dynoed with 440+kw at the wheels.

Mr Rb20 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Yes, i agree that many of the cars there could not have possibly been funded in legitimate ways and are a bit sus but, i can assure you that the guys in Autostyle do not and have not participated in that activity and are genuine cars.

MrExa Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I find it funny and amusing at times and shitty too listening to ppl say, hey those cars are all from drug money bla bla bla Its a good idea to have facts to back up your statements before you post some shit.... There is your groups who i admit have made their money illegitamately, but the majority havent, have you guys ever heard of bank loans, credit cards, working hard saving money. A lot of ppl can afford to take out loan and pay them off a well as living comfortably, having a well paid job takes care of that, but its annoying to hear ppl generalising and calling ppl drug dealers just becauase themselves cant get off their asses and build a car for themsellves....
