The new baby... (well not really that new...)

[Stephy]

Soooo not going through the trauma of car sales ever again, they cause too many tears... If i had the last one for 6 years - I'll try to keep this one for 12!
I was thinking purple - it is one of my favourite colours. But then i saw this light blue colour and i think i dribbled in public... Oh well - i have to wait for the gtr to land before i can go without her whilst she gets a new outfit... That's going to be a fun daily driver (that's sarcasm...)

I'm going with pearl white on my VR, going to just go with the 'Crystal White Pearl' colour from Mazda. If I were you I'd just go into a paint shop and ask them to give you some samples of pearlescent paints with different pearl colours in them to see what you like best!

Thanks - i'll let you know when i make the decision... I'll start looking now, because i think it's going to be a massive job and i have to be sure before i choose.
Oh well - cant go wrong with whites really - it always looks smart on cars

I like the colour the car is now! Car looks sick even though it's a bit ratty. What suspension is it running right now? The VR6 must be quite a rare car down in tasmania...

I know it's not a bad colour - i just can't have another silver car... it's all in my mind!
i've just had a look - it's come with D1s... Not the best - but i'll ride with them until they fail - it's got a fair bit of body roll still, how do i stop this, or would this be caused by the cheaper coilovers? (don't want to fork out for sway bars if its not going to make things better)

there are a few floating around down here, not too many though.

Oh oh oh!!! Got news my tyres came yesterday - just waiting on wheels now, hopefully here on Monday!

When it comes time for them to ship it, make sure you tell them to pack it extra carefully, even put some foam or something inside the actual headlight casing. If you don't do that, this will happen - as I found out:

Thanks for that info - i'll email them in the morning and make sure they're packed properly.

I'm starting to get excited - one more sleep to my mags arrive!!!

[Stephy]

Well my mags have been held up somewhere between here and wherever they are coming from.
I decided to clean the car up a bit, and even with the missing parts it looks OK... Just had to take some photos so enjoy

Car looks sick as does the scenery! Thank you for not taking pics in your driveway, at night, from some obscure angle as most seem to do.
