    There's your average F owner right there. (Fchat members excepted of course).

    He'd rather drive an ML than get his 360 wet. Words fail me.... ;)

    Here is some more ammo for you.....

    That guy with the 360 Modena I posted in the spotters thread had never driven his car at night (its done about 3000km since new), so when it came to switching the headlights on this morning at 5am he apparently took his time working it out. :p

    True story!

    roughly once or twice a month, about 4 trackdays a year and the FNR plus a damn good xmas party .

    When you get here join the Alfa or Porker club for additional trackdays, if ya into that sort of stuff, and you can use my hoist for any work you need done (I just painted it Ferrari red :D so it goes up and down faster now )

    Got all the tools with airguns, torque wrenches ,etc ... just need to find some mechanics to help work on the thing :(

    SFR isnt that organised, we dont have xmas parties, we just meet a strip club.

    BTW SFR'rs I saw JB at the feral fest and i was walking thru bogan alley with Grant, JB wants to put a stripe down the middle of the GT3 and change the headlights to 997 style and to top it all off wants to put a holinger 6 speed in the thing. one thing i cant quite figure out he doesnt like the 997 GT3 -- so why put lights in the 996 to make it look like one and that stripe.......please!

    Ha Ha Ha.......Horse was running perfectly (even the aircon was cold!) but the first time I hit 7000 rpm there was this LOUD NOISE in my left ear. Couldn't work it out, so again I took it out to 7000, this time in 3rd, and once again there was this LOUD NOISE in my left ear.
    Yes, t'was the handbrake.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to quieten down a noisy handbrake?

    I suppose you could just gag her. Might get some funny looks from onlookers though.
