Went to go get lunch today, and on the way I nearly had a collision with multiple cars after the sight of, yep you guessed it, a Ferrari and Lamborghini parked outside a factory. But on closer look, it was a 2 storage rooms chocka-block full of high-end cars! The guys at this place were nice enough to let a commoner like me go through the place, take a tour for my lunch break for over half an hour and drool over everything there. Here's some pics (sorry about the quality its my Nokia mobile)

Have to say though, my favourite was the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 parked right in the back, all hidden, like it's some Commodore or something.

BTW that's 2 Rolls Royce Phantoms... yes only two.

where was this by the way?

I'm going to go past there again next week and ask if it's OK to publish their name online, if they say it's OK then I will publish it, otherwise I think you will know why I won't say so...

Yeah - Moorabbin.

Probably best not to promote the name Dave. They like being a bit out of the way.

The yellow GT Speed is hideous - but the owner likes his cars a bit different.

FYI - the main business is a prestige wholesaler, who looks to be doing well out of the current credit crunch... but some cars (including the stretch H2) are part of a private collection. The other half of the collection is in an unmarked garage in the city, and is amazing to say the least. Such a shame to see them not being driven, but that's the way he likes it...

There's actually two H2 stretch Hummer's, one black and the other white (which sits outside on display). And yes I agree that yellow Maserati is a bit, well, disappointing, I'd rather the Audi A4 2.0T behind it in this pic to be honest.

Funnily enough, it was raining Friday when I took those pics, and what I found odd was seeing those two amazing cars sitting out in the rain. One wonder's if the Lambo out the front will cop a defect for its wing :)

One guy (in customary suit) rocked up while I was leaving in a green Bentley and parked it outside, so I snapped this one just as I was going...

I assumed that guy was the owner or something, the other guys inside seemed pretty cool to let me wander around, but this other guy wasn't one to mess with, I would say! :D

      S15 Spec R

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
