Tell me about it, we spend so much money on video conference rooms and voice conf gear and no-one uses them.

that said certain cultures do very much prefer Face to face so you have to work with that.

Preference of face to face meetings with the Chinese aye

I really know your motive

I'll inform you as to the subtlety of my missus when I acquire one

I think there was more subtlety that you don't have the old one

I present to you.. gtst getting spanked by a mobility scooter

Haha awesome

parked in CBD... return 3 hours later: gates closed, carpark shut. errrr. sign on the side with a phone number for after hours access $125 call out. slip under gate as a random car leaves, go to pay for ticket: $79. eat a dick carnts.

there was a small sign next to the terms and conditions saying carpark closed at 9pm. no signs out the front, nothing on the ticket, nothing in the carpark. lesson learnt

would like to see how it goes against this astra :P

Like to see how that Astra goes against an R1 :P

That thing is seriously f**king quick though. R6 would have biggest okay.jpg

Ash when are you going to measure those buns of yours?

Next week - been under the hammer, busier than expected in the shop (which is a good thing)

granted, however what price cars are you buying? Also I guess im lucky that i can claim car expenses through tax so softens the blow drastically.

Even if you got 100k laying around you wouldn't buy a car with it as its a waste of the opportunity with the money, better to invest it and just make the necessary repayments.

I think you'd find majority of people with late model cars don't own outright either through mortgage or car finance etc.

Same here - I'm claming servicing and all sorts given the car is used for mostly work related purpose.

My GTR - 30k - outright, and then the 20k in 12 months on it. Ok the commo was around half that but the money went elsewhere etc.

Yeah totally agree, most of them probably do not - but again it comes down to choice. Do you "need" or "want" to own a late model car off the showroom like most, or simply buy one thats 3-4 years old with service history?

if you are implying my parents have helped me in any way at all your completely incorrect brah. They are nowhere near rich never have been never will be.

lol... you took the bait a bit easy there. Same boat for me, been outta home since 18 and worked for every cent, never been given a penny... although none to be given so kinda sorts itself out.
I get a LOT of younger generation working in the shop, the work ethic across the board is far below that of the people 25+. They just don't want to work hard at all, think it's literally a free ride, amazes me really

Got 2 of these on the way:

(Comes with small mic you can put in your helmet too) should make rides entertaining talking shit upto 1.6km away from each other and have upto 9 paired devices (4 conference at a time though) fellow SAU riders should get one for rides :D that and good for phone / music over the bluetooth. Pretty nifty things IMO

    • 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... 😅
