    John left Melbourne this morning I spoke to him about 2:30 pm, he was North of Sydney by then...making good time John :) He said it was raining very heavily and the car had "Only aquaplaned a few times!!"

    Anyway, he seemed to be enjoying himself very much, which is great, he deserves it. Here are some pics of his car. I'll post the pics of the dinner later, so you can see what you missed out on.

    Regards,

    Carl.

    I suggested to Larry who owned the car at the time to go that way, it would have been about $4,200 for a set of new 16" wheels with correct Pirelli P-Zero's. But he was fussy, he wanted the original tyres. I had the wheels blasted and re-painted and the new TRX tyres were $660 each. The car drives beautifully on the fresh TRX's but obviously it limits your choice for track days.

    See you in 20 minutes Gil!

    It's in pretty good shape now, this one drives as good as any I've driven.

    It still needs a silencer and a radiator before it goes to the track though....

    and yes, those TRX's will destroy themselves on track... so he'll need some 16"......

    Or how about those 18" Simmons Jonesy/Moretti?

    sure do. they're just such a classic shape. everything looks in proportion. might have to trade the 356 and move up to something like that. i'll have to start my market research.

    since we've gone off-topic already I might aswell ask you (scud) this here.

    Have you heard from Mark (gekko) lately? Any idea when he is getting his F430 delivered?
