DO IT.. Do it now lol.. Keen to see house. Would be awesome if you could do some light painting with it or perhaps get star trails in the background.

Nice pics guys.

Do you know what kind of trees they are Jay?

Speaking of abandoned, I came across these on a trip out to La Perouse yesterday. Bummed that I didn't have my SLR with me but took these with my iPhone (they have been worked over a fair bit with PS). I love this stuff.

There are many other buildings like this one which are being destroyed in the name of new apartments and land releases as part of the Little Bay estate - was inevitable really with such amazing views over the bluffs/ocean and four A grade golf courses right next door.

Awesome. Abandoned buildings are so fun to shoot.

I remember walking into an abandoned house around here a few years ago and as i opened the front door it creaked really bad and then next step i took, my foot went straight through the floorboards cutting my leg to shit because i just yanked it out screaming like a little girl and ran out.

It got demolished a week after that when i went back with an arsenal of friends :(

whats going on in the first shots Nick? Hippy convention?6202564331_c5132a62ba_z.jpg

Thanks Kory - yeah I reckon you'd have to watch where you step, not just for termite-eaten floorboards but also used needles, etc.

Thought you'd like the building Matty. There are a couple around there, and you can get some pretty nice shots of the coast from the same location.

You mustve found it real hard shooting those stags on sunday, it being so wet and slippery and all. good thing you had a mate holding you up while you stood on that pole...

:P

Seriously though should've brought a ladder in the back of the 260 to get some height for the group shot. Looking forward to the PI article.

murray river red gums.

Took the kids bowling today and then for a walk on the beach. Found this mossy rock.

this is what you can see behind the rock, shot from above (and shot dark so its a bit easier to see)

That was taken at a friend's magazine launch party for issue #2. The band were, ummmm, interesting (lots of "experimental" noises very occasionally matching up to a beat of some kind), but it was a good chance to try some gig photography again, and I enjoyed it. Unfortunately I needed to head home before the acts I wanted to see/hear were on...

Oh, and stop posting dodgy photos of me, I don't need to be reminded about how fugly I am!

Revenge:

    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
    • The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
