Yep, I bought, get the keys on the 15th of July. And I'll have you over before you have me over :P Check your PM's on facebook, I sent you a link

Yeah I DREAM of paying $270pw mortgage repayments .... try nearly triple that. But it is a nearly $1M house, so you have to expect to pay a decent mortgage :rant::D

Shit yeah, would be nice, maybe one day lol

Haha like your avatar Nick .... and where is MY VodkaO? (Or at least a hat)

Had to celebrate, we just won Gold for both rums (white and dark) and with our tequila at The World Spirit Show!

Got a Tequila Blu shot glass for you mate

Congrats mate, no doubt at this rate you will,

barely been home lately, got so much on at the moment between 3 jobs (collecting them at the moment) and family illness

Not good man, best wishes to you :P

I'm not sure on the whole setup but I think you can get adult entry apprenticeships that pay you decent enough money to survive on. Does your missus work too? That would be a big help. My point is, nothing is impossible, difficult yes, impossible no

I just turned 27 and I'm a first year apprentice :P

Thinking about getting into a trade also. Want to work in and around cars as I have no interest in anything else. Narrowed it down to either panel beater or mechanic.

Don't do mechanics. No money in it unless you own a garage that is successful

    • 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. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons
    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • 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... 😅
