Normally I would consider putting mine in the display but unfortunately no one can guarantee me that peeps wont lean on it or rub past it with their handbags, etc.

I'd hate to take it back home full of sctratches & small dents and nothing to show for it.

ah sorry about the confusion, not sure how i got u 2 mixed up. yeh understandable, but chains and other things will never stop people from getting close, the only thing i could recommend is maybe putting a piece of paper on the windshield asking people to respect ur car and to not get too close. although tbh, i went to a show down at wiglet reserve not too long ago with the Ford GT's, some worth up to $700,000 and they were not using any barriers etc and didnt seem to have any issues so i dont beleive you should really have to worry.

we would love to see the GTR down there, it would be a great addition to the day.

Yeah good point, a sign on the front and back windows may keep adults away but some parents don't know how to control their kids who can run an absolute muck without chains around the cars.

I've had a kid bang his Tonka Truck on the back fender of my bike during Bike Week on the Gold Coast last year, and parents didn't even bat an eyelid. :P What do ya reckon I wanted to do to the kid and his old man? ;)

some important info for those worried about the details:

For those of you worried about giving out your home details on the site, just leave it blank - we should be able to do everything via email/mobile phones anyway.

There are only 5 people who have access to your details - me, Morris850, Mr 1JZ, BillyE and Eyecandy. The information you send will not be sent anywhere else - all that will happen is that we will store it ready to contact you for AJD 2009.

I just put my entry in.

make sure that you write something in those fields (I wrote BLANK in there) otherwise it'll take you back to a blank entry form and you will have to fill it all out again.

Hi guys, entries have now passed 65, so we're moving along nicely. Target 200!

Some very cool cars entered already, although my best efforts to buy a KGC10 to have here by the time the event rolled around have been thwarted, much to my dismay.

I'm getting all your entries, even though you may not get a confirmation on the site - will start replying later on in the week.

Dammit! I'm getting one at the end of the year to be different... please tell me you arent getting a silver one with super deep dish watanabe's aswell :P

Has the entry for my DR30 worked or not, I couldnt get any confirmation from the form when I sent it, its a white/black one with gold watanbe's.

^^Got it! I bid on a dark blue KGC10 over the weekend, if anyone saw it on Yahoo. Prices are mad though - 2.25 million it went for, that's just for a replica. You just don't see them at auction like you used to. First option is gold, and yes must have 15 x eleventybillion Watanabes and flared guards...

sweet.... I think saw that one not too long ago :P very mean machine... goodluck with getting it

when it gets here, if you have a public un-veiling I would be keen for a perve much more exciting to look at then that R35 :down:

car will start being stripped down, sanded, bogged, flared and ready for a spray soon. being defected kind of helped this process a long by getting it off the road so i can do this stuff. hopefully its been through regency by the time, if not i might have to grab a permit for the day.

    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
