    Talk about dreamers! :D

    Anyway, your cars look good - I particularly like blue ones ;)

    Nice to see them being driven in anger, albeit slowly!!!! :D

    Love blue ones.

    Only looks slow because it's a photo. Video's (or Filums for you old blokes) make the cars move. :D

    Or the fact that one car (not blue) had the world's fastest (self confessed) 308 driver

    And the other car (not red) had a poor old pensioner, with failing eyesight and a heart condition, behind the wheel.

    :D

    yeah, that old guy in the (not red) car was driving very smoothly while that lunatic in the (not blue) car was driving very ragged

    I reckon those tyres were worth about 2 secs at Symmons, it's only a small track, plus mine is steel (240hp) and yours in fibreglass (255hp) ...... damn, I am faster than you in real terms !!!!!!!!! :D

    there would only be 3 corners where the Hoosiers would be of benefit plus small track

    the hairpin is where all the time is made and lost because it has a big solid barrier on the exit that makes it harder to push for that extra time saving when you are so far from home and you want to leave the track with the same car you came in ... know what I mean ?

    Great Theory, but Aussie glass cars only had 240bhp.
    Sorry :)

    Actually it's a circuit where a bunch of grunt is a big advantage, It's hard to carry much extra speed out of the hairpin (because it is so slow) and that is followed by a loooong straight - another 30bhp would have been handy!

    I hear a lot of Ferrari's come up to Terrigal (1hr North of Sydney) (the town I live in, just moved here from Northern Ireland) in the summer time, anyone ever make the trek up here?

    I've had 3 vastly different readings off 3 different chassis dynos - IMO only good for comparison of changes on any one dyno on the same day.

    On topic- spotted a yellow 430 Hairdresser spec at 1am in the shell servo at Taylors Lakes. I think I have seen it before in the area.
