Can't believe I forgot. Saw a blue TVR convertible driven by middle aged guy on Melbourne Rd, Williamstown on Friday around 3.30 pm. Had yellow standard plates - think thats SA. Not really up to speed with my TVR models, but I think it was a Chimaera.

First TVR I had ever seen in the flesh. Was one of those initial "wtf is that" experiences while driving.

We had a drive day today - but no Maserati.

Would have been black Ferrari, yellow Lamborghini, orange Lotus, grey Aston Martin, grey R8, grey E63 and black RS4

ah k nice nice, wasnt 100% sure on all the cars I saw, they all drove past pretty quickly.

You drove past the tank ride venue on boneo road. Hidden behind the trees was this roaming around :)

Red Ferrari (looked like a current shape, I have no idea on models) and a yellow Lambo Gallardo parked in Coldstream and then following me into Lilydale at about 11am today. Reasonably young lady driving the red Fezza, guy driving the Lambo.

So I was in Cannes a couple days back enjoying the south of France on my honeymoon when she caught my eye going down the other side of the road. Glammed up coz it's Cannes and the film festival was on.

I ran across the road to catch a better look and whipped out the camera quick smart to grab a shot of one of the biggest celebrities I'd seen on my trip. Alas, by the time I got there, she had left her space not to be seen again. What was it that I ran across the road for with camera ready?

McLaren Mercedes SLR in CHROME paint job!!! Uber hotness! I think I pee-ed a little in my pants when I saw it but certainly needed a change of undies when it roared off down the road. All was not lost though as I saw 2 more that day along with a 430 Scud, Aston Martin DBS, Bentley Brooklands, Lambo Reventon, countless Bentley ragtops, a new Z4 (one of the cheaper cars there), other Fezzas and numerous other exotics. Photos to come.

I've been truely humbled.

Was in Monaco yesterday for the GP too and saw some nice examples of motoring but it had nothing on Cannes. Going to Monte Carlo Casino today to play James Bond. Will certainly have camera in tow to take some shots of the cars parked out front.

Performance forums are putting together a fund for a group buy....

BTW, been hiding under a rock there Geoff? Coming back to Melbourne some time for beers?

Almost crippled mate. Nerve damage gone haywire. I can't drive a lot of the time from pain. I'm up for a computer implant trial monday to see if we can control the pain.

If things turn around I'll be trying to get around to make a nuisance of myself.

Army caused it, but the medicals are covered by the biggest bunch of 2 faced scum in government - Veterans Affairs. I heard over 40 ex-service members took their life out of frustration from trying to deal with them last year. I can understand why.

They can take their piddling pension and shove it, I just want to be able to do what I like, including getting back on a 6 figure income.

Nope, it's real alright. Check Here

Mustang Motorsports is somewhere around where I live, so i see a few of them infrequently.

They're also a Saleen Dealer, had the "POLITE" one painted up like Barricade from the Transformers film.

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
