    sandown drive day

    On 26 Oct there is an Events O'Neill drive day at Sandown. Two RF's will be there along with the usual GT3's Modena's etc etc. This is a great day and I have been to several. I note there are still some places left, and you get all the track time you could possibly want. They have instructors on...

    John and Maude made a pack as they grew old that whoever died first would return and inform the other about life after death. John died and a couple of weeks later Maude was watching TV when she heard a noise behind her. "Is that you John" "Yes Maude " he said. "well what's it like? said Maude...

    Birthday present...6 speed box

    I can't believe my car is now 4 years old, but for it's birthday Robert installed a brand new Audi A8 two wheel drive 6 speed gearbox. Not cheap, but it has really transformed the car. It now will do about 1850 revs at 100 kmh and third and fourth gear are a delight. Well worth a thought as it...

    Statistics and damn statistics

    The official IOC olympic website has a medal count which is the same as the Aussie news sites and others around the world. But when you have a look at the USA sites such as CNN, MSNBC and USAtoday the format has changed. USA to equal 2nd from 4th. Funny about that. The spin doctors at work? Regards

    TYRE SHELF LIFE

    It appears that some guys building 40's are buying high performance tyres close to the start of their builds and not as one of the last things to buy. It may be wise to consult with a tyre expert before purchase as these tires normally have a short shelf life and can be very dangerous when they...

    Two GTDs

    A mate of mine bought two GTDs the other day at a very good price and sold one to a friend. One was a "factory lightweight". Spent last Thursday comparing the RF and the GTDs along side each other. The GTDs are in need of some TLC but will come up very well. I was surprised by the amount of...

    Bidding war for GTO.

    Seems the new FORD GT is not the only car where buyers are paying for a delivery spot. The OZ built Holden Monaro to be sold in the US as a Pontiac GTO has it's fans. In Nov. Ebay had 16 listed and at least 10 have been completed with one party handing over $US6200. The unions over there have...

    Do your research.

    Anyone looking to buy a kit/turnkey should have a good look at this site and the various websites of the manufacturers and then work out the ones of interest and go have a look at the factories. The cost of an airline ticket is small in the overall cost of a GT40.It is cheap insurance because...

    Internet access

    This is really directed to OZ users . I use Telstra Cable at home and it is near useless. At work they use another provider whose name escapes me but we have no downtime. Ziggy seems to get the money and I get the crappy service. I'm not against change.... any suggestions? Regards

    Thanks for nothing Ferrari

    One of the highlights on our great trip from Oz was a prearrainged visit to the Ferrari factory. During the Monza Gp we were told that "luca de boss" had banned visits to the factory as there was a new model coming down the line.This seemed a little strange as I am sure their planning would be...
