If your in Timmers and need some tools and extra hands I am sure my father would happily help. smile Hes pretty clued up for stuff like this smile Let me know G
That would be cool and much appreciated if it comes to that. I'm stopping in to a Suzuki dealer in Alexandra tomorrow on the way to Timaru to see if I can get an error-code check. The original hayabusa dash and the kitchen sink were about the only things I didn't bring with me rolleyes

Crown Range Road is "O" for awesome. Didn't take the Westie, but the SS Commy liked it driving

If that ever becomes hillclimb I'm coming back.


More rain, drizzle, and yet more rain frown
You useless bugger. You must have driven right past my front door with not even a toot nono No free pies and coffee for you coffeeranting
Jeff's Transporters could have stopped in for a pie with the XTR2 on it's trainer but I was passing at 20,000 feet wink

Spotted on the side of the road in Blenheim. Georges former elise. Looking very dirty, though the new darker wheels look good (yes I know theyre the same ones)

Nice to know it was still running under its own (non-headgasket) steam even after a heavy week of tracking! Yeah the Anthracite wheels look ace... the colour I didn't have the balls to paint them smile

Last night in downtown Auckland I saw a dark green Lotus Espirit, number plate was either NICHE or NICHE1. Belong to anyone on here? It was the first one I had ever seen, ended up missing my turn so I could catch up to it.

Post post post smile Nice to see it getting used and getting dirty smile (hell, I won't be the one cleaning it!)

Just spoke to Paul tonight... he raved about the car, ran faultlessly all tour, so he's rapt. Hit a hare on the way home which has buggered the front clam, but he's not too down about it. Gives him the excuse he needs to pull the clam off and do a few jobs he's been meaning to get around to and also the required impetus to get the lion's share of the car's stone-chips fixed at the insurance company's cost! smile I'll have to be there next year.... if my car's running then.

On my way home from work i spotted a nice looking burgandy S1 Elise on the state highway, heading towards Petone Nr Wellington last night.

Flashed and waved but was undercover in the legacy.... they probably thought i was some sort of nutter (they might be right wink ).

Unless there are two of them it was at the Northern Car Club's Ruakaka sealed sprints this Sunday.
Others of note
Steve Millian's Orange GT40. Sounding wicked.
The yellow TVR race car, Clubman Lotus 7 style, M3 CSL BMW in a nice shade of charcoal. Heaps of rally weapons from old school Escort Mk1 to EVO's and WRX's
