DHC09

BINGO! Now can someone close this?

Yup thats the one. Toyota = Sabre Tooth Cat Old williams = walrus

I'll be out tomolo night. Keen for a drive too. Mt Cootha for ice cream? City for KK? Nebo?

Yup the Toyota one is much better. I think the worst looking car at the moment is Renault And Maclaren always manages to look good

whitestivo: I'm run'in 1ZZ POWAHHHH :P eSEXSIX: Mate, nothing wrong with an auto on track :P Mine is easily on par *if not faster* with a stock WRX (except on the straight) and have surprised a lot of people both on track and nebo :P Just don't don't leave it in Drive. You can still down shift and control the gear your in. A lot more fun than ppl assume ;) On the sprint track I only use 2nd and 3rd, only go into 4th down the main straight, so in a way its not too much of a disadvantage, less gear changes FTW :P PS: Won't be out on the 31st, need to go to the airport.

QR is a fun and exciting (if you push it) track. Its also wide & safe, there aren't any places that will catch you out and send you to the wall. The only time i can see you getting in trouble is over confidence :P so if you haven't tracked much its the place to go. My first track day was on a WET QR, was pouring down in the first 2 or 3 sessions, talk about a steep learning curve, but I managed okay :P Remember track days are for a having fun. Learning the characteristics of your car and improving your driving skills comes naturally ;) Hope this has convinced more ppl to head out :)

FYI (I never used them myself) I've heard from quite a few people who have used aftermarket panel filters, most of them said it was a waste of money and time.

Com'on dave. show'em that video at QR on how its done B)

Wonder if he got fired :P or sent to direct traffic.

Please wait a few seconds for Video to Load! :lol: :lol:

For the people that missed it or couldn't get a connection. Please wait a few seconds for Video to Load!Considering the rule changes, I think its looks pretty good B) Then again it will most likely look totally different once its on the grid at Melbourne. More videos on the site too.

Wont be out tonight... have fun boys and girls

I think its safe to say that none of us here will ever be invited to attend a F1 car premiere, so this is our best chance :P plus its Toyota so you just gotta :D http://www.tf109-premiere.com/

I'm sure some "testing" can be arranged tomorrow night ;)

I've only done a little bit of photography but bearing in mind he's willing to fly up (if there's enough of us) and then there's the editing (i imagine) involved in getting his shots to the standard they are... $50 is quite reasonable I think... I'd be happy to give anyone $50 for pics of my car (especially of that standard), as I know the cost, effort and time that goes into producing such a pic... But each to their own :) Oh I fully understand the amount that he is asking (see above), and I also think its fairly reasonable. To clear things up, I wasn't implying the $50 for tangcla's work is a rip-off, not at all. Just that some of us can take decent shots for free ;) (obviously it won't quite be the same :P) btw. he doesn't edit his photos I'm happy to come along and see how he works, n perhaps learn a few things :)

Please wait a few seconds for Video to Load!

Yeah its about time we had a photo shoot of the current group of cars we have now in brissy. No offense to Tangcla, your work is superb and will need to fly up here n maybe spend a few nights, but I'm not too keen on spending $50. I think we have enough skill and equipment here to do a decent job :)

No way near as bad as the Japs tho :P

Since there has been quite a few posts of Japanese game show videos, I'd thought I would even things out with a French one. Enjoy! Please wait a few seconds for Video to Load!

Don't know if you guys remember, but years back there was this reality show on 7 called "Australias worst driver", basically the show found a whole bunch of drivers with really doggy records where they have to complete various challenges and tasks. The winner (most improved) won an Alfa and the loser got his/her car crushed. Anyway the producers must have thought the idea of crushing cars would get peoples attention and entertainment value, well..... it totally back fired with a when the middle-aged mum who lost the show started crying on live TV while watching her car getting crushed, even the host felt it was a bit harsh and didn't know what to say lol. More importantly, this followed with a flood of bad reviews, ratings, and complaints. Needless to say the promised 2nd season never came. So IMO... Australia says NO to car crushing :P

Please wait a few seconds for Video to Load! -This post was sent from a MackBook Wheel- :lol: :P :P and it only took me 15mins

Un-breakable and idiot-proof are two very different things :P

Wow good work! And nice list of gear too :D When I said photoshop, I meant post-shot editing and enhancement of levels, saturation, etc... (with photoshop or other softwares and camera)

Hey this sounds interesting. Might be up for this. Any other rollas going?
