I did manage to run into these 2 lovely ladies not too long ago. Parked in a line and on Chapel St surprise!!!

Maaaaan the Lambo looks awesome in the flesh, photos don't do it justice!

Bah! thumbnails are crap. cant quote with them. this ^^ guy has photos of the same one two pages back.

spotted a red f430 at century city walk, plates 999-430

I've seen the same Rosso 599 about 4 times in the last week. Has a 2-letter plate (WM or something).

In CBD and around Albert Park.

Also, when we had the DB9 at Aston getting brake pads changed yesterday, Lindsay was collecting his Rolls DHC.

Just the thing for Christmas.

A customer has given me his 993 Turbo to drive around for the weekend.

The 993 was the last air-cooled 911, and the first Turbo with AWD (shared with 993 Carrera 4).

Pic is example only - but same colour...

Is pretty quick and good fun, but doesn't feel as solid as the newer cars - and it loves to slide, especially in the wet. Power is strong, especially on boost... but it's very manageable. Considering this is the same age as an R33 GT-R it still fetches about $150k (love that Teutonic resale!) - but if anything it shows how good the Skyline is for the money.

unfortunately when i was in melbourne ealier this year my mates 993 GT2 was down at Auto Art being worked on otherwise would have gone for a cruise in it.

oh well he has ordered a 997 GT2 and GT3 :rofl: can't wait for them to arrive

Not really spotted per say, but...

*sigh...

So your Boxing Day was spent collecting this from the impound lot I take it?

spotted a red f430 at century city walk, plates 999-430

saw the same one today - just after waverley rd on springvale rd (near the mobil petrol station) at around 4pmish. He was waiting for his friend in the yellow gallardo which was pulled over by the cops just after century city on springvale rd. such nice machinery....

Well here is a Lotus 2-Eleven that was in work about 2 months ago:

And this has been around for about 3 or 4 weeks now so today while it was quiet i took some shots.. Morgan Aero 8.. worth above $250,000 :(

Yeah - that's the Sienna crew

You can see a TR behind the Murch and a 355 over the road.

Here is the 997 Turbo Cab Taxi - and yes, yellow seatbelt and yellow interior options were ticked...

Yeah I cant believe the person ordered it like this.

The colour combo (unless you are Age) would wear very thin on you after a few months of ownership.

Thanks for posting up the PICS James.

Cant wait to the new Dealership is complete.

    • Have you tried another indicator stalk? Sometimes these go bad and cause issues.

    • Early last week, I became concerned that the car was feeling....slow. Most of my driving is commuting to/from work and there are few opportunities to get up it and convincingly make boost/power. It drives in vacuum almost all the time. But when you do occasionally get an opportunity, and.... it takes a little longer to start making power, and then there's not as much as you'd expect, and then you run out of road anyway and have to bottle out - it can be hard to be convinced that there's something wrong. But by the end of the week I was pretty convinced. Made an effort to get a decent test run. Took bloody forever to come up on boost and when it did it would only make about 50 kPa of pressure. There was no black smoke, no noise of a boost or exhaust leak, no evidence anywhere of an intercooler hose clamp being sloppy enough to let air escape. So.... not that sort of problem. Brainstorming led to thinking that the boost controller's solenoid might have failed in some way. No active boost control would just give wastegate pressure, which I was more or less getting, and the laggy behaviour could just be "normal" shitty boost response from an uncontrolled highflow. But a little extra 3rd party brainstorming led to the thought that the actuator circlip might have jumped off leaving me with a bluetooth wastegate. So, on Friday, off comes the stock heatshield (which is an annoying enough job on its own) to reveal - yup. WG is wide open. And.... it won't come back. It is jammed in the dump. Put the rod back on with a new circlip and tried driving it to get it hot in the hope that the capture was from thermal effects having been blown into the dump when hot and since cooled. Nope. Won't move, even with screwdriver mediated force when hot. Ran out of time to play. Came back to it yesterday. Unbolted the dump. Was lying under it with the dump jammed up against my guts undoing the bottom 2 bolts. Got them most of the way out and gave the dump a serious heave. It didn't noticeably move, but there was a satisfying "plink" noise from up to. Shuffle out and sure enough, gate is now closed. Nevermind that there was still the better part of an hour after that required to put it all back together. f**ken cars.
    • For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 12 years later!
