oor33sky_ Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 really? unreal, would have loved 2 see it on the dyno - i was setting up our display 'til about 10.30 on Fri. nite - musta been too busy & missed it as 4 the driving bit i meant more like not the sorta car that u would see go 4 a Sunday drive down the coast etc. - but then again i could be wrong maybe he is often out cruising in it down his way???

jlnewton Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Yes, but lets be honest with ourselves. . . . The cars which feature at the autosalon are not really drivers now are they. Never seen so many cars getting pushed in, arrive on trailers and get reassembled just for the display. But that is cool, that is what autosalon is all about, they are show cars afterall. But I liked the fact that our stand was full of cars that you will see REGULARLY at Q.R., Willowbank, Darlington Park (before it closed), on cruises, dyno days, parked at the local shopping centre, hell mine has even made an appearance in Sydney, and they still cleaned up ok. Modded with a purpose, not just for show. But that is just what I like.

Eug Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 i'll have to agree with jason. cars are made to be driven - you dont throw in adjustable coilovers and slotted rotors along with xxxRWKW just because you can. that and also while walking around some of the other cars, people made comments such as "its not low enough" or "it doesnt even have a paint job/bodykit/etc" that said, each to their own - some nice showroom quality cars, as well as driver cars.

But that is just what I like. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> agree with ur comments 100% i too drive my car everywhere including 2 the shops... i consider my car a show car but also a race/dyno car just as much - i have tried 2 concentrate on both areas - which i'm proud of - most ppl are just 1 or the other... but in saying this i was 1 of the car's that had 2 be towed/pushed 2 the show due 2 car problems only - totally beyond my control - unfortunately missed out on the dyno too...
