Here's a few pretty little automobiles I saw during my travels in the Côte d'Azur during my honeymoon.

There was so much money around, you could smell it! I was soooo in my element :mellow:

1. Porsche Carrera GT with Rolls Royce Phantom parked behind.

2. Maserati MC12.

3. Mercedes McLaren SLR. Oooooo I sooooo want one.

4. Carpark outside Monte Carlo Casino

5. Ford GT

6. 2009 Ferrari 599 GTB Mansory Stallone. 1 of not many. Supercharged 6.0L V12 with LOTS of carbon fiber and go fast bits.

7. Aston Martin DBS. Sounds so secksy.

Red HSV R8 Tourer with black plates [R8TOUR] trailing me off Dynon Rd. Wanted to race me at the lights next to BP Whitehall. I think this is the car that some motor mag used to do the R8 tourer review. Absolutely love that car - if only it came with as much cargo space as a Stagea....

HSV W427 at Monash Uni on Wednesday - those thing look so much meaner on the road than they did at the motor show!

I'm pretty sure I saw a silver Walkinshaw supercharged HSV Clubbie R8 last week in the city (or a good imitation). Had the bonnet scoops and what sounded like a supercharger whine.

For those who don't know what this is, google it. It blows the W427 out of the water, is done by reputable HSV-affiliated WP, and costs <100k. The only reason you would buy a W427 over this is as a collector's item, but seriously, I don't think it's worth 50k more (or will ever be in the future).

My next family car will be an R8 tourer with the WP treatment :down: Goodbye RS6!

Warning: This car might be better than sex

Saw this walking home from uni (Monash Caulfield) dont know the name of the road I walk everyday but it's straight under the bridge from the roundabout in the uni....things i would do just to sit in it

I don't know if it's real but if it's not the guy really pulled out all the stops to make a replica Shelby GT500 Super Snake IT'S HOT!

Hi there. This Mustang actually belongs to me and my father. Yes, it is a real Shelby SuperSnake and is currently the only one in Australia to be driven regularly. Good job on spotting it! Someone has finally posted pics of it been seen in public on the net :P

Is there any polite way to remind someone just what agricultural crap Aussie built cars are? And how inappropriate they are to mention in a Supercar thread?

Despite what the Mythbusters might think, you can't polish a turd.

My link to my photos from the Supercar Club QR Trackday. Enjoy. http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/GTR...?albumview=grid

and how inappropriate they are to mention in a Supercar thread?

Geoff, i'm pretty sure the mandate for the thread is "things you don't see every day" and when they only sold less than 200 (i think) to see one actually being driven is quite a surprise. I'd have expected the majority to go into mothballs once bought.

An for a piece of "agricultural crap" the inside of a new Calais V is quite a nice tractor to be in.

seen this on Hallam-Pound Road intersection just before ;) wanted one of those so bad for a first car, seeing it today makes me want on even more now

Sorry, my knowledge of classic cars = fail. What exactly is it? A mustang of some sort, yeah?

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
