Super Cars/euros Upstaged By The Dastun?

Meh. R35 is a great car. When I had mine I got plenty of unwanted attention at servos etc but this was 08-09 before the aus models were released. Its fast as he'll but has no where near the drama of even a gallardo (Audi or not their v10 sounds pretty nice). To be honest I'd be just as happy in and old countach (yes I have an 80s coke dealer complex and I also like linen suits), or give me a fcking diablo. That is a super car. I've drive the new gt40 snowy was talking about. Awesome looks, awesome sound but to me it felt a bit sloppy and boat like. Definitely a super car though. I still reckon an old diablo gets more looks than a r35 but who cares? If getting people to look at you is your thing just run around naked... Otherwise buy whatever car YOU like. Personally I want an f40 a diablo, a countach, a testarossa and a miura please (yes I have a 70s complex too).

You going through another Don Johnson/Miami Vice phase Baron?

i knew you were cool! agree they are fking shit cars and be lucky to outrun a dual amputee in one but they do something to me.

sadly on my list of F40s/countach/diable the 928 is about the only one I can afford!

go tony montana!

I loved the design (the 928 was a car of many "firsts"), but the age of it let it down.

A mate had a very late 5.4 litre GTS I think it was, in red, and I still hanker after one just like it....... I know it would be a disappointment, but they're a future crassic :)

Is that a 924 station wagon? Looks like a z3 hard top lol.

Only 928 I drove was an automatic Hong Kong import one back in the late 90's. I remember doing a 0-100 time at 7 seconds lol, back then the hills area was mostly farmland. Yes it was extremely slow compared to today's standards and even when I drove one. But when they were first released they were actually pretty good cars compared to what else was on the market at the time. Although today a Mazda 3 is just as fast.

The 3.0L CSL is where it's REALLY at! :)

Years ago my father had a loan car from John Briggs cars whilst his was in their for some warranty work. The loaner was an M635Csi. What a fantastic car! Much, much better than I actually thought it would be. Not often something surpasses your expectations. :worship:

Yes, me too. But I'm fussy. Must be either a late 840CI or preferably the very last V12, the 850CSI :thumbsup:

We're sickos Baron.

for sure, 850 is the go. they are pretty cheap these days but the running costs! my god man the running costs! would make a GTR seem cheap to run.

and yes I'd like a 2002 but most of all a really neat, original E30 M3 EVO (later model with the bettter engine etc).

also totally agree we are sick, sick people. still if you're going to be stuck in a timewarp might as well make it an 80s/90s timewarp. there's barely a car I want to own that wasn't made in the 80s or 90s.

maclaren F1

F40

diablo

E30

etc etc.

even jap stuff was at it's best then and that goes for bikes too.

    • Two golds! Struggled to get silver on Gran Valley.
    • Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S
    • I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily  
    • Talked to another R34 GT-T owner, he said bonnet of his car once fell and slammed from full height because of strong wind at a car show and nothing was damaged or broken, so I guess I'm just overthinking some things but yeah, just making sure I'm not damaging the car anyhow cause wanna keep it for a long time.
    • I would say 100% that it doesn't matter at all. I have an Al bonnet and I drop it sometimes, push it others. Have done so for 25 years and there's no way to tell that either has caused any problems (because there are no problems).
