    Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

    It looks like those wheels are different from the ones in your avatar, are you using slicks for the track? Or just some really aggressive street tires?

    How did the weekend turn out for you? Compare against any other cars or was it a domination for you?

    6th fastest out of 60 cars on the day. Now I know how to get the tyres to work, I am hoping to be in the running for fastest next time out.

    Hey Stephen, Great to see you and your 550 on the track. Your car looks great but the steering wheel is on the wrong side!!

    How much have you lowered the car and it is stock suspension or another?

    Man, that car is gorgous. Do you have a pic standing still? love deep dish rims. Old school and all that.
    Heres my number 77 with some similar meat on her.

    Thanks, good to see your car getting a work out too. I'm sure you could fit at least another inch of rubber under your front guards though! :)

    The car is looking great, black is definately a great colour for the 550 :)

    Any chance of getting the pics in high-res (1600x1200)?

    Thanks :)

    Thanks, there's a few on the board, my favourite colour by far. Lots of fun for sure. You shouldtwist your dads arm to take you out in the new 360.
    Here in Victoria, you need to be 18 to get your drivers license, as a reward for getting decent results and into University, we let my son take his mums M3 on a couple of track days and recently bought him a WRX so he can use his own car now.
    Great fun, especially if you get the family involved. There is however a serious side to it all as the families of Ben and Corey will attest. RIP :(

    The 550 is definitly a great car, especially in black :D ...like mine
    I guess you can see it on http://zeshark.blogspot.com/

    Prices for Fcars is a tragedy in AUS. You should do some kind of demonstration against it ;)

    Yes. The red car is the one for sale. It just had proper F1 Fluoro paint ($2500/litre) in this photo, now it has the road car equivalent Fluoro lookalike colour.

    The Silver photo is Teds current GT, not his old 360C, also for sale with Mark.

    Just to clarify you meant that Ted's silver 360C is for sale with Mark, not the 360GT.

    Just to confuse further...

    Teds GT was just bought from Mark, using the yellow 360C as trade in, and now his old 360C is repainted back to it's original silver. Mark also had an Identical GT, now sold to the guy that traded the ex F1 flouro now std flouro red 360C back in, and Mark also still has a F1fluro red Veloqx spec GT for sale.

    Clear as mud.

    Here is Teds 360C when it was yellow, and also the 360GTC as comparison
