that'd be Simon Hackett who owns Internode in your woods, nice guy and a real Ferrari nut (308 from memory) and the Agile would refer to the DSLAMs he uses to get the ADSL2 link to geeks
actually i did wonder that... i'm on adsl2 now, and just last week i saw his name alongside some other notables with exotics at the heard of some board.
I spent the morning in Cotteslo and saw some very nice cars - Maser 3200GT, SL55, 2 x E46 M3, Continental GT, and 2 x 996's (one Turbo), but no damn Ferrari's unfortunately!
Spotted a few nice cars outside the Sheraton while waiting for a bus this afternoon! Red 360 Spider with 360 plates - nice split rim wheels as well! Also a Merc SL55AMG. C55AMG and a Bentley Arnage in attendance!
only got a couple pics this morning so i'll just piggyback off the 'spotters' thread... yet another shot of the black GT3... and goober demonstrating his flamethrowing rally weapon.... wot a piece of machinery that thing is, and goober gets an evil grin everytime we pass someone and shoot flames Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
...and here's a short vid of the R5T... crap quality coz it's just my digicam, but you get the idea http://users.on.net/~ashsimmonds/goober_r5t2_flamethrower.avi Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
actually it sounds shat there because the noise of the thing was maxxing out the mic and it's all distorted. it's actually a very smooth rumble, but VERY loud... and the turbo whine is awesome, and the wastegate when it gets too much boost, and the noise when the turbo is winding down is just creepy like 50's science fiction stuff... very few 4bangers are in the same league for sound.
I saw a white Dino GTS today, i tried to get the guy to pull over for a chat, but he didnt seem interested, im not the sort of person with a camera on me all the time, so got no pic, but it was very nice, if it where not a GTS it would have been awesome, i dont thing GTS variants are as nice as tin tops
nice pic ash, we just gotta put that flame thrower on the X and i still reckon the testarossa would look wierd belching out flames. we should try to pit it against a wrx or similar ash have u stuck it on froggy forum?
wow...there's one of those here in melb too! i'd have thought they were very rare...well...i guess two's not common....but i wonder how many there are?
Whereabouts did you see it? I saw a black one (the same I already posted pics of some time ago) heading towards Mandurah today, but never spotted this white one.
TR needs N20! WRX has no 80's cool factor, instant loser. check out this people, awesome vid of R5T's with warpaint so you can see pretty much what me and goober were up to this morning. http://rihadj.free.fr/videos/R5_Turbo.avi (50mb)
saw it in Cot. today. looked like a very nice example, and sounded much nicer than any other Dino i have ever come across also.
Damn it, I was there on Saturday but no Dino - I would trade all those other cars I saw for a single white Dino. I'll try again in a couple of weeks when I get back from Alice.
that 246 that i posted earlier... despite just how dam sexy it was, i wasn't impressed with the sound of it. it actually sounded like an old beetle... which is a nice sound, on a beetle.
i want that black one you posted once upon a time... dammmm... droool. that's definitely got a slot in the stable to park next to the lime Stratos, white X, and gunmetal Countach.
Yep its a beauty, and I've seen it about 3 times since then but always on the move while in my car. Here are the pics for those who never saw them: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
