My 1st lucky take was an invitation to cruise around the City on Channel[V]'s & Billabong's own touring bus. This comfy beast included:

a full set of Cromie's

Full black leather seating.

2 Plasma Screen TV's

Too many speakers to count + 3 Sub's

Gamecube & Xbox

DVD, CD, TV, AMP the works

Microwave, Fridge, kitchen

and a lot of cup holders.....

It was quite fun driving around and having everyone point and stare at the bus as if there was some big band behind the tinted windows. But you could imagine the look on their faces when we got the bus to pull into macca's and we all jumped out... :headbang:

I offered to sign autographs, but there was no takers

My 2nd Lucky take was after the bus cruise and driving home in my younger brothers VP Commodore. Got pulled over on Elizabeth Street.

now this car included:

1 Working brake light

2 Missing side indicators

2 Differnt coloured headlights

Got away with it clean, no canary check or anything. Just a breath test and off we went.

The Luck spree continued as I was pulled over AGAIN about 1 hour later this time in my Skyline down Flemington road. I don't even need to list the defects as im sure most of you know a Skyline comes with unlimited EPA's and Canary's from the cops at any given time.

Amazingly I was let off again after a short breath test!!

Now all I need is for my syndicate lotto ticket to pay off for that night, still waiting for the results on that. :cheers:

    • 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... 😅
    • 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.
