Been a while since I've been in here.
I'm selling one of my companies to a French mob, about 80% done.
Going to go a bit crazy then on cars and boats....

GT3 manual, AMG GTC, possibly a classic and maybe a f8ck off Sunseeker...

Hopefully El Nino fades and I can enjoy.

In other news, I seem to have come across an incredible rich guy, who rents a warehouse next to my local gym. He's got an amazing collection of cars and bikes: F8 Tributo, new DBS, 1967 Shelby GT500 (genuine) 765LT arriving this week, 1971 911s, etc..

Good news is, he regularly rents out Eastern Creek Raceway for his mates to enjoy... big thumbs up from me. Hopefully can get on that friend list to join them.

Still here ..

Completed the pre-build part of my house, currently have a slab and a load of bricks. Brickie should be on site this week. About 12 months before completion.

Nothing else really changed. Waiting for the borders to open so my brother-in-law can get out here.

Rarely on here these days as FB is the place now.

Car wise I picked up a lovely E30 325i, with only 100k kms and 1 owner. I also got a 1 owner Gen2 Pajero and fitted it out for basic off road and beach duties as we recently moved to the sunny coast.
I’ve also been able to follow my passion and bought a car detailing business. I’ve been busy expanding the services and business has boomed.
I’ve also been able to set up a Barbershop which has been awesome fun. It’s Motorsport themed of course ao if you’re ever on the sunny coast pop in for a cut and polish!

Great news to hear about the new business ventures, best of luck with both.

Will definitely give you a shout if I'm up that way.

Great stuff. Love the BMW! Best wishes for the new businesses.

So I managed to smash up my right shoulder and left elbow trying to dodge a suicidal bunny while cycling just before Christmas. Spent pretty much since then with both arms in slings so not much of a holiday, especially for my wife dealing with an armless husband, a three-year old AND a new kitten. Recovering now and in physio, glad to be able to actually move at last!

On the flip side, we got a new car, a Golf Alltrack which is surprisingly good. Nice turn of speed, good engine note, spacious and for a jacked-up AWD estate, quite good fun to steer. Oh, and the new kitten who is a bundle of fun.

Christ, that’s no good. GWS.

I did myself a serious mischief just over a year ago - it seems like forever when you’re incapacitated but have faith it’s soon forgotten.

We've just moved up to the Sunny Coast and I've been quoted a fortune to detail an old heap I've bought for my daughter. I'll be in touch!

I've started a small business, selling 4WD accessories all designed by me and manufactured right here in Perth. It all began with someone on a FB asking how others had mounted a dual battery and I posted a photo of mine - Lots of enquiries later I have a small business selling different variants to people in Australia, NZ, UAE, South Africa, USA

Good to see a couple of businesses up and running - wish you all the best thumbup

Looking for a replacement for the 928 has led me to the conclusion that I’m getting a 944 Turbo. Can’t find manual, RHD, S4/GT anywhere and I can’t be arsed to wait for one to appear.

However local stock of 944T are pretty sparse, so I’m trawling the UK market for one to import. Should be an experience…

Ro-ro costs don’t seem too bad in the whole cost scheme of things - it’s about $3k UK to Aus, but containers are a different matter… Trying to get a handle on timing at the mo.
