Well after a bit of a trek Simon(Blue_Supra) and myself made our way from Canberra to Melbourne, arriving at some ungodly hour at the home of Australia's resident Dutchman, Daan(Sauc3) and crashing.
Rebooting at 9am we make our way to Calder park raceway, avoiding bogan Commodores and fully-sick-mate Civics, a wrong turn down the correctly signposted street we arrived at our destination, a windy and cold Calder Park Raceway. the problem? We're all in shorts and, in Daan and Simon's case, short sleeves t-shirts. ba ha ha, n00bs.
Grooving to the side of the track we get in position, 6 hours of uber awesome drives past - including some corker vehicles. Standouts include:
- a Nissan Pintara wagon having it's nuts driven off, matte black with "SPONSOR ME!" spray painted in gold on the side.
- A n00b in a White Nissan Silvia - nicknamed Special ed. he just tried sooooo hard.
- A Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T - Got bodyroll?
- a white XF Falcon. good stuff.
So this was a fun time......until we get home. Organic Sunscreen that comes out like hairgel FTL - My forehead is bright red - I don't know how the other guys are feeling......
The Next morning we make out way to the new Eureka Tower - 88 floors up we laud over Melbourne, plotting evil. << >>. As an architecture student this made me pretty happy because the building happens to be a personal favourite - and the Edge tourist attraction - an Electro-Chromatic Glassed box which switches the floor clear to freak it's inhabitants out - is a fantastic addition.
Departing from Daan we travel to Darrell's house - almost ending up in Geelong. Not Happy . But after hanging around for a little bit (and meeting his lovely mother) we make our way home.
BTW do you still have my sunnies Simon? I might have forgotted them .
So, onto the photos.
1) BATTLE DORIFUTO behatches.
2) For those unfamiliar with the sport, this should be a good indicator of what to expect.
3)Probably one of my better photos of the day - you'll have to excuse the pixelation, my stupid batch resizer is teh sux0r
4)a Gold R31 Skyline Sedan
5) a S13 Silvia. Also gold.
6) As best we could determine, a completely stock R33 GTS-T. got bodyroll?
