How I wish I could have that sort of money to pour into a car :(

TBH Matty they are an insane waste of cash. That motor and fuel system on that car was circa 55k. best way to do it...save up for a house deposit and factor a really nice gtr that someone has already built up into the loan price.

Have I forgotten a public holiday today or something?

My works dead aswell very strange for a Friday

Fellows - it's the start of school holiday as term 2 finished for most (private) schools yesterday and think parents have also taken time off

Traffic was a breeze for me this morning compared to most other days

So they have released the inmates...apocalyptic

I checked on that Ants but shcool holidays for state schools at least don't start until after next week.

I didn't realise private schools were a week and a day earlier :S. That's bizzare. Oh well, hopefully it means 3 weeks of good traffic :)

Yup. Private schools have more time off than public schools - so you pay an arm and a leg for your child to go to private school but they don't stay in school as much as public schoolers do - go figure :blink:

Maaan I wish, not that I ever hit traffic but business as usual here despite wishing it was already Saturday!

My solution to this is not have kids to have to put through private school... I went to a VERY public school and I turned out surprisingly not as bad as I could have!

My mum also said her work is unusually dead today, only she lives in Canberra... Pretty sure there is something the rest of us have missed...

I always thought the same thing but I've learnt being in any kind of professional type job the private school kiddies have a major advantage based on who they went to school with and who's parents they know lol.

Unfortunate but true, if I ever have kids they'd end up in a private school.

I can vouch for ^ this

It was my private schooling that made me obtain my current job - not just qualifactions or experience counted

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
