pinstriping..... On my car.
It's usually so dirty you can't see the handles let alone pinstipes!

Best at Rob Roy with the new car was 25.73 which was a little disapointing seeing as the old SC got a 25.9
But old car did have semis and the conditions at RR earlier this year were terrible, 42+ degrees or something ridiculous.
Not sure I'll ever go back to RR, Haunted Hills and Ararat tracks are so much more fun.

Who says MR2s aren't family vehicles? Family can help clean them before the Nationals.
Hopefully next year I can pay her to do the whole thing.

Videos from Ararat Hillclimb, awesome event, ended up with 2nd in class behind a monster FD Rx7.

Some wonky interior footage, I couldn't work out how to get the mount stable enough.

Nice adub mate.
I agree, 250kph would be freakin scary in one of these, 150 feels like your ready for take off

Bought some wheels off maxmod.
Debating whether to try and get them refurbished or just make them track hacks. 16x7s look like someones attacked them with a grinding wheel [:(!]

Went for an epic drive yesterday with some mates down the GOR and into the Otways. Shame we'd forgotten it was a long weekend and the GOR was crawling with tourists and cops.
