That's great - you must be very pleased.

How fast do you estimate?
Cheers. Thanks for the kind words.

Off the line not that quick as the K04 turbo takes a while to spool up. from about 2500 rpm in third and fourth gear very, very quick.

Non-clinical trials so cannot be verified, but 5.2 0-100 has been timed. The third shift at 95 spoils the time a bit.
Nice! Do the bogans in chav kitted Falcodores try and race you?
The wealthy bogans in FPVs and HSVs have a good run sometimes. But the nature of my car means that I pull them in from about 80 odd but that's getting a bit quick for the road, but powering out of roundabouts I have all bases covered.

I do the Newcastle Link Road most days. 90 speed limit and about 4 good roundabouts. It's fun along there.

Poor bogans in VN 'dores with VT bodykits don't stand a chance. What's funnier is bogan-ettes in Kia Rios who try and race me...
I was wondering if some people would actually know what it is!

I'd race you! Hahahaha

Holy.fking.st.


Spotted this Ferrari 250 Cal earlier today on Cedric Street just off Mitchelle Freeway. Also saw it 2 months ago in Barbagallo Ferrari's service bay so presuming its real. Look genuine and sounded amazing?

Just spotted on West Coast Highway



Aventador in Arancio Argos. Number plate LP 700 CT.

Not sure whose it is but it was stunningly gorgeous.

Spotted: 80s supercarness @ my house. My first Ferrari drive in Matt's gorgeous Mondial. Made my day.

Like that a lot!

So, what was it like to drive your first Ferrari?

I have a serious soft spot for the Mondial due to Weird Science...

Seen my second F150 in a week.

Nice looking truck. Would be nice to replace the Hilux, but I'm not sure I could go Ford.

Nearby neighbour runs BPT in Wangara. Comes home with all sorts of stuff and brought one of those home 2 weeks ago.

Massive. Not big, like a jacked up LC, but Massive. With a capital M.

Sounded awesome when he was showing it off to the other neighbour.

Just some bloke, got chatting, I apologised in advance for my cheek and asked if he'd be so kind as to run me up the road in it.

Very very fast as you'd expect and no discernible lag. Sounded amazing. A mate took a vid, I'll see if I can get it.
That's brilliant - what a kind bloke!

Didn't think much of them from the magazines when they first came out and then saw one in the flesh - oh my god, just stunning. The noise and so much presence.

If the owner of this Chimaera is on here, you owe me a beer for working out how to turn your lights off.
It's a TVR, he probably found a way to get them to work and you've bloody ruined it hehe
