No sorry Norman, the reflection from the mirrors,lap dancing
pole and the water in the jaccuzi messed up camera flash.

Hey Pete
My car is angry with you for that stretch impression, in fact it's added you to it's hate list: Porsche, Ferrari, Pete, etc.Not a good Idea to come to Melbourne in the near future it may eat you.

Been awhile since I posted.Coz nothing to report [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
My car is in the body shop being prepared for painting.
I can only hope that the bloke doing it is as good and thorough as he is slow. Very frustrating. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
Had a look at Flatchat punting his yellow GT40 at Queensland raceway Sunday.The sound it makes at full noise down the straight is very very impressive. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] | |

Thanks Denis, everyone who knows Graham speaks very highly
of him and his work.Graham rang me after reading my post and he seems like a real pro. I guess I am just an impatient bastard!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] | |

Just doesn't get much better than seeing the paint go on. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Just noticed the other day that Mazda Velocity Red has a mica fleck through it. Unusual for such a solid colour. Probably what makes it look so good. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I noticed Mazda also has mica in their solid yellow colour as well...interesting.
Hey, have you decided about pin stripe colours? | |

Thanks Guys,
I can't wait to see it together either.
Craig I decided on the blue stripe it highlights the silver
better than the black. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] | |

Glad you went with the blue pin stripe, it will have more flair.
I also can't wait to see it(and hear it), once it's together. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] | |
