Fliders Street tram stop on Swanston Street near Fed Square at arround 7:45am today.

Saw a Ford V8 Supercar on a tow truck and the Toyota F1 car on the tow truck right in front of it, heading towards Albert Park I guess. I was too slow to take a photo, its 2 early in the morning :down::P

That matte black Aston is sex on wheels. Saw two normal Astons yesterday on Bourke St at lunchtime, one after the other. A black coupe with normal plates and a red convertible with custom plates.

Was the F1 car towed out in the open? How odd...

May have been an 08 car doing some promo work...caught a quick glimpse of the BMW or Williams (didn't get a good look at it on TV) that did the King lake demo, and it looked like an 08 spec car...

yeah, thats how they transport them i guess. i saw the McLaren F1 car last year on Hoddle street, it was also sitting on a tow truck. I had a great view of the car as I pulled up next to it and took a couple of snaps on my phone. :P

I guess it may also be a way to advertise and attract people to F1 by making more people take notice that the F1 is in town.

Nice spot! Saw the Redback Spyder on Beyond Tomorrow before. Wonder if anyone actually bought one. I think the owner owns the two in existence?

Props to the builder, but to be honest 350k is a bit steep for an LS1 in a carbon chassis. I think the Joss Supercar looks so much better and is faster, for around the same money. It's also built by an aussie in his "garage". Some of you may remember it from previous motor shows.

Great job spotting the Redback though. The only super-spot that can top that I guess is of one-of-a-kind car. eg., if the sole Maybach Excelero ever comes here . Not sure what other one-of-a-kind road cars there are :blush:

it's not a AC Schnitzer car, his just got the bar on it, it's not a M6 so it's either a 640, 645 or 650, it's a individual color from BMW, did he still have the black wheels on it?

well had me fooled...

It had full rebadged AC Schnitzer on the boot, and also side skirts along with the bonnet badge..

The wheels were labeled BMW which were chrome / Yellow spoke...

It also sounded tough as!!

Not sure what the real deal should look like

saw a gunmetal coloured Aston Martin DB9 heading down the M1 towards Narre last Sunday... DB9 007 was the number plate from memory.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
