It's been a very busy world these last 3-months.

I pop in here most days, but there's not really that much going on relevant to me anymore, so I don't tend to post very often. Plus it's generally pretty boring :(

So...

Since March I've had the opportunity to tootle around in some amazing cars, whether beloning to P1, customers or just people who seem to think nothing of throwing me the keys and telling me to go for a spin. From this - I certainly have a few favourites... but would I buy any of them if I could?

And the answer is yes, yes I would.

So let's ask the question.

You have a 3-car garage. These are the only cars you would have - and so you would have to live with them every day.

What would they be?

* RULES - need to be available in Australia, so Veyrons are out. Need to be driven daily so LHD and race cars are out.

Here's a picture of a 3-car Garage to help you out:

BTW - for me...

1. Porsche 997 GT3

2. Audi RS4 Avant

3. P1 membership (I'm serious - I could never live with a Ferrari or Lambo, this would let me park something nice and special when I would be able to use it). Or a monster-truck Lada - it's a close call.

Yes, the GT3 - track spec (RS) is something ive dreamed about and heard/read a lot about over the years.

And a good porka looks HOT. And would be given a flogging being the track spec.

Second... that would be an Aston. For a daily :D

And 3rd, a Dodge Viper. Always loved them

I dunno if they are LHD when they get here, but ive seen them on the road before a number of times, so they must be legal if people are driving them with rego plates and stickers etc. That would be the weekender.

Well for me.........

1. New BMW M3 V8 version (even an E46 M3 CSL would be sweet)

2. R34 GT-R V-Spec Nur in Millenium Jade

3. Porsche GT3 RS in orange as the weekender

And if you include near future releases, well the new GT-R V6TT would have to slot in there somewhere :)

oh i like this thread!

1) Lotus exige S (the supercharged version)

2) r34 GTR Nur :)

3) Ferrari F430 spyder

if it was only 3 cars for fun/weekend those woudl be it....

Edit: no scratch that, id mix em up for work/weekend/fun usage! :)

yeah you can drive em lhd for some reason...but you can get places like sports & luxury cars to convert it to right hand drive

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
