Fat lip fat lip!!!

I was scraping it on absolutely everything on the way home HAHA.

Our little baby (hehe) has turned 1. Check the celebrations here

Der Rieger!

Yeah how fat is that lip!

I’ve finally sourced this Rieger lip for my MKV Golf (was 40% off!). It’s very very deep and I’ll be scraping the shit out of it on everything out there, but hey, it’s going to look damn aggressive! I can’t wait to fit it up.

Our R32’s.

Christina’s interview.

Andy and Herman shooting the GT-R.

Lumix in video mode mounted outside my GT-R.

Yesterday we finished off the 2nd day of shooting with Herman and Andy. They came over at 10am and already the sun was bitey. It turned out to be the hottest day so ever and being under the sun from 10am-5pm took it’s toll on Herman’s face which was ridiculously burnt. I also lost about 5kg in sweat as the GT-R has no air-con, nor any lining so I was basically sitting in a tin oven sweating like I’ve never sweated before! It wouldn’t have been so bad if I could have had the windows down, but with them down I couldn’t hear instructions over the walkie talkie so I had to have them up!

Talking about cars in the interview was so much more enjoyable than talking about design and I thought both Christina and i did really well in the interviews. Also really chuffed to see the boys use a Lumix GF1 for some of the on-board footage. I love my camera and had no idea if was good enough to shoot film for TV!

It’s all in their hands now. Bit nervous and hoping we don’t come across as idiots in the final product!

The two R32’s. Suga and I got there at 6 to have a word with security and sneak a dinner in.

Apples and oranges but both cars share the same badge, 6 cylinders and 4WD.

7.30PM the carpark is filling up.

The cycle crew!

Babs’ Hako is always a hit.

Last night was JDMST’s first EOMM (end of month meet) for the year and it was a big one with 70+ cars. We decided to have this one at The Entertainment Quarter (Fox Studios). Despite everybody paying $6 to get into the carpark we’ve been kicked out before (for loitering!) but this time I did a little ground work by calling the security office a week before to let them know we were coming, and also getting down early to actually speak to the security team on the night. Everyone was well behaved which blows my mind. I mean seriously, asking these kids to restrain themselves with strict rules is a big ask (no engine revving, no burnouts, respect the surrounding community on the way in and out and no loud music). Put yourselves in our shoes…if you’ve got a hotted up car that sound beast all you want to do is let everyone appreciate it by revving your engine, and of-course, do a filthy burnout on the way out!

Spotted in Bondi. What a burnout monster. Someone had left a note on it with contact details in case the owner would ever consider selling.
