Mate, i do Exactly the same thing! I have a few beers, then get all clucky over my car. I will have mates over watching the footy, then at half time we will all just go to the carport and look at my car and talk shit, ill start her up sometimes for a bit of a soundtrack (also makes them jealous!)

When my mates come around and have a few beers they get so jealous. And I get fonder after a couple of stubbies as well

i used to do this for periods of up to 5 hours when i was a bong rat, i once formulated an idea that my car at one stage must of been underwater.

Nowdays high on life, but i love to just look, think & tinker with my cars tools and shit. GF hates me for it

Just noticed your rear spoiler Rob. Mine use to be similar, but changed it.

hey Pat, that is a nice Phat ass you have there. I'm not sure about the rear spoiler, sometimes I luv the LX writing across the back and other times I think I'll put it back to original when I respray it. Cool pics of your car tho I am waiting for you to one day put YELLA plates on it

Yeah totally agree boys nothing better than going into the garage and looking at the Torrie even tho there is shit everywhere half the paints off it still the dreams about when shes done keep rolling in. haha

About my mates yea there all mainly soft cocks in regards to cars, one owns a f*cking prelude and is too much of a nancy to buy a real car, and the other drive a dirty ford but at least its not rice.

But yes although they don't think there jealous bec of all the time and money its taking they will be in the long run when it demands the upmost RESPCETA

I spend so much time thinking about all the work I have to do on my car instead of actually doing it.. so when ever I stroll into the garage for some other reason I get stopped in my tracks as my mind is refreshed how awesome Toranas are.

Heya Rob, thanks mate. Haven't smoked now since February, and owners own ass is starting to reflect the car's. It was like, bang, here's an extra 5 kg's. I was actually trying to loose 10 kg's to get down to optimal race weight. Life's a bitch like that.

I'm the same, I like both. Might get a new rear spoiler, and repaint this one back the way it was, as it is a little rippley.

Plates? I've never been a plate man, would be nice, but not essential. Notice in NSW atm they are up to YEL-xxA plates!!!!! I grin every time I see a new plate, so many Yella's on the road.

Oh, credit where credit is due, Toranavista took the driving into the sunset pics (it's actually sunrise, but meh). I love that whole range of pics, including this one:

Mmm, by the looks of these posts, quite a few peeps knock back a few ales on a Thursday night. :huh:

Must say I am bit partial to the odd "appeciation session" after a few ales. Its great to wander down to the shed and simply sit and stare..... ahh, the serenity......

Yella, love the pic with the leaves blowing up on the road..... great shot, pity about the blur but hey, motion blur is a good effect !!

A9X SS and SS A9X shot..... classic stuff !!

nice pics guys :rockon:

My 2 babies are off the road atm. They are both sitting outside my kitchen window, so every time I go into the kitchen or out to feed the animals they are always in my face saying why are we sitting here.

I am a dreamer and have soooo much in my head I want to do with Ruby, now I am unemployed YET AGAIN!!! I will have more time but hence no $$$.

Getting smashed 2day to put closure to 4 months of hell, so look out Ruby I am coming your way.
