Haha Wayne, that's Dad. I could evolve into that. Beards and horrid dress sense runs in the family. I haven't succumbed yet. Here he is in Arthurs Pass No firm dates yet Doug. If I have to go to New Plymouth next week, I might come over after that. I'm doing my best to drop it back until after Waitangi day though.

Trip was good. Caught up with Emma and Andrew in Dunedin. Nice to meet them. Got some nice orders. Successful, I guess. I'll be down your way soon Simon. Get Doug and the boys ready. We'll finish with the garage and move to the workshop. The other touring car is being decaled. Lindsay's Begg is being prepped for Phillip Island. I don't know if the O'Donnell Touring car will be at Skope. I think not.

And some more.

Which one? I assume the 206SP. Yes, it's awesome.

Loads of photos. I'll post some more later.

They'd need a bloody big car for me not to use them as a Judder bar.

I was considering it. Having just got in from the South Island, now having to meet a customer on Sunday (up here) counts it out. And then I may need to be in New Plymouth early next week. Lani is down there somewhere. Have fun, take lots of photos.

Given that I don't live there. I figured I was close enough for you to find it. Gary Geeves owns the place. I'd call him, not his office anyway. They may have changed their name in the 10 years since I left Christchurch too.

Very Nice. Ollie, there's no such thing as bad publicsity!

Welcome. Enjoy yourself. Cain

See Gary @ Smart Road Panel & Paint. He does all our race and road cars.

That's like asking when are you too old to go out with a 19 year old. Good on him. Keeping you young fellas honest. Just like Kenny Smith does in the single seaters!

The number plate in the photos was previously on his M3. It has never been registered on that car. However, it has been registered in NZ and can be. However, his method of trying to sell it and the fact that he has f**ked that 535 would leave me to avoid him. Still a nice car though (on the surface)

I hope you get an exciting present! I'll have a beer tonight for you.

I'd say the bright side is that you have a Yellow M3! Glad to hear you have sorted it.

Project racecar!

Welcome, it looks like it's been recently re-upholstered. Who owned it? The Fresh Prince of Bel-air?

Donnington Park. The motorsport museum is great. Duxford Air Museum. Punt on the Cam, see the choir at Kings College (Cambridge) Tower of London. Silverstone, if there is F1 testing on (it's FREE). Dublin. Paris, you need to see Sacre Coeur, the Louvre, Eiffel tower and Arc de Triomphe. There is heaps to do in anll those places, have fun.

FARCKED!!!!!!!! sh*t, I bet that hurt. I hope NZ Autocar have the balls to do a write-up on it.

Valid point Andrew. I wouldn't know. I believed you were the fastest, or maybe that was I imagined it. Good luck. Car is looking good.

Too true. He did wonders for many people. RIP

Schumacher hasn't raced in a year and is still faster than everyone else. So that's not a good excuse Andrew. You'll need to come up with a new one. Maybe "I forgot to turn off my GPS speed-limiter" will work.

Haven't had a problem yet with the V8. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. There is only one better and that has a prancing horse on it.

Never had one and the speeding tickets I have had wouldn't have been worth buying one to avoid. My personal opinion is that they are of limited value and that by being observant, you can spot the cops. Granted with them getting proper mufti cars (like the Honda and there are a couple of different models up here), they are a little harder to recognise. I like the thought of being able to carry a taser though. Does that also mean that I need to lunch on doughnuts to have this privilege?

Welcome. I agree with Simon. I hope you're not suggesting putting that motor into an M3! Enjoy your time here.
