Babs’ immaculate 964. I could really fall in love with the lines of this car. Loved sitting in it too, otherworldly!

What a beauty.

NA sitting so low, looked so tiny next to the WRX next to it.

Hey nice Falcon!

Always so nice to see an RX3 off the drag strip.

Dishy Work Meisters on this VR6.

Toyota Serra. A rare sight.

Track spec S15. My fave S15 on the night.

Widebody Honda City.

NA running a fat set-up with lots of neg camber.

My fave STI on the night, so low, so right.

Fresh from last week’s Drift GP!

Gorilla Supra still donning time attack warpaint.

Ryan’s Cressy.

R34 GT-R looking more and more track spec. Love the Z-Tune front guards, lots.

Decent meet last night at EQ. So many really nice cars, heaps more photos here.

Put in a huge order with Nippy, should last a while!

Oh dem Porsches.

Ultimate Whale Tail!

A bygone era.

This BMW took the cake.

SUGA – eating grass.

Stanced MKI.

Clean MKI.

Loved this K1.

Fat C 63.

Simmons Wheels, still love them.

Trophies.

It’s impossible to get to sleep at 8PM. I tried, and failed. Still managed to somehow get up at 3.30AM though and make the drive to Canberra for German Autofest. Had a great day despite feeling like I was overdosing on caffeine. Got home in a hurry, luckily I didn’t get done speeding, but driving at 110km/hr would have just sent me to bed.

Heaps more pics here and I’ve also written up a feature for Zen Garage. Visit: http://zengarage.com.au/2011/09/19/german-autofest-2011

911 – she’ll be mine, one day.

With the help of the JDMST, VWG and Cars Move Us community I’ve put together a bucket list of 10 semi-affordable must have cars to own before you die. I’m pretty happy with how the list turned out. I’d definitely have included a Lotus Elise, or Exige though. Maybe even an open wheeler like a Caterham too.

In putting together the list I was reminded of all the cars I’ve owned and modified:
– Toyota Celica
– ALFA 147
– AE86 Levin GTV
– MX5 NA Clubman
– MR2 ZW30
– BMW 318 E46
– EF Civic B16A
– EG Civic x 2
– DC5 Integra Type-R
– DC2 Integra Type-R
– Kia Sentra (bahahaha).
– Evo 6.5 TME
– Honda Jazz x 3 (one with K20A swap)
– S2000
– Nissan Skyline V35
– Golf MKV GTI
– R32 GT-R

That’s 20 cars. Pretty crazy huh? Looks like I’ve settled on the Golf GTI though. Stuck on it actually, it’s such a great little all-rounder.

143.4KW at all 4’s.

Awesome day out today at the Sydney VW/Audi (VAG!) Dyno Day in Revesby. My full write-up on the day can be found at Zen Garage.

The car that got away.

A few days ago I put a bid down on a BMW E36 318is (that lowercase “s” makes all the difference) on eBay. Not that I need a 3rd car but it was one of those spare of the moment, late at night, red wine and internet moments!

I’ve never bought a car off eBay before but in this case I doubt the seller had ever sold a car on eBay before! Her listing was awesome (view it here), you could read her frustration. Poor lady must have been hammered with stupid questions, low ball offers and hate mail!

I was winning the auction until someone sniped me last minute and beat me by a measly $50. I was pretty devastated for some reason! At $4k I would happily have paid $5k for the car.

This morning I’m still feeling shitty about it. An E36 might still be on the cards, would make a nice project car for Zen Garage I think. Lovely lines, always have loved the shape more than the ‘little too boxy’ E30’s or the ‘tubby’ E46’s.
