Spotted a bunch of clowns and their Skylines at Oran Park.

On my way home from the Drift Day, I spotted a wine red R33 (maybe series 1.5, didn't have time to check properly) pulled over by a cop on the M7. Hope you weren't pulled over for doing anything silly, especially on a Double Demerit weekend. Also, I hope you didn't get reemed just because you choose to own and drive something "different."

spotted a Stagea turning into karalta rd 2nite, looked like it had some front damage was that greeny colour... didn't catch plates or nothing else looked stock standard.

Dude, Stagea spottings go here! Was it dark green or light green?

Man, I love having a wagon - drove into an RBT set-up this morning on my way down to the Drift Day, did the test, then drove out without a second glance from the 10 or so cops there, even after all the exhaust popping on overrun on the approach, and a little rev on the way out to see if they'd notice. I was stunned no-one even looked, especially since my exhaust is so loud!

spotted mikey (i think it was you mate) in artarmon...well you spotted me to be honest, but i was actually behind you at the lights crossing the freeway. Tried to follow you but couldn't pull out in time cause I've still got your tools sitting in the back of my car :O

    • 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.

I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
