bronzee

About time there was one in this section, even if it is one off the yard. Go Railgun!!

Very shiny.

There's a blue one that I see on quite a regular basis. The lovely vibrant blue of the 370 really stands out, in a good way. There doesn't seem to be any other current cars about that are that hue of blue. The 370 I had for a day, running with the Bridgestone Potenza RE050's, it gives off a lot of road noise, so much so that my co-pilot commented on it. I'm not a fan of the RE050's on a 350 either for that reason plus more. It's a personal thing, as others don't mind them. If it were me, I shoe the car with Yokohama Advan Sport V103. Quieter and they handle better and hold on to the road better and don't upset the traction control at the drop of a hat. (I'm presuming in the UK that the 370 comes out stock with the Yoko's on, as they're supposed to do in NZ?)

When the groom has a much war paint on as the bride. Have a great day!!!!

Lol, for those of you that are thinking, gee that looks overcast it was very. Threatening to rain most of the day, and blowing a howling gale the whole day. That gale that upset the rubgy on Saturday night.

They're always a lot of fun Martin, you guys should definitely set up something like this. The reason they put questions to find answers for is to keep people's speeds down, but it adds to the noggin power required and keeps your co-pilot entertained an very busy on the day, which is a good thing. Keeps you sharp as a pin. There are ways of making it a bit more interesting too. So anyone that wants to set up a trial/rally like this, just let me know and I'll fill you in on the fun/evil tricks we play on our club mates. Depending on who's organised the rally, sometimes we'll work on race tulips, or rally style notes, plus a few other different style of rally notes. Here's a few pics, now that I've downloaded some.

Welcome to the forum. Keep an eye on the for sales section on here.

Looks good with the Azure. Nice rims too.

Just call them gluttons for punishment.

You never know. Dan Carter and Richie McCaw are out of our team with injuries, high profile players. Hopefully the rest of the team really step up to the plate. It is a team game after all, not just two people carrying everyone else.

Thing is, if we all started being more community minded and did the right thing (obviously sometime it does make you wonder), would quickly nip these types in the bud. At least you're ok and so is the Z.

White is supposed to be purity, hence white wedding dresses, and red is romance apparently. It also depends what colours the bridal party are wearing? Congratulations by the way for the big day.

Nice economic tidy up there Andy.

We had a Zclub rally Saturday. Really pleased as my co-pilot was a complete novice (nothing to do with car club) and did extremely well. Anyway, with a novice co-pilot we came second. Only reason I think we got second was my average speed was 4kms slower than I anticipated. Which is my doing. The same good friend is going to co-pilot for me next time. Much easier when you've teamed up with someone before you know how the other works, and get the flow going even better. Hopefully 1st next month's rally. Was fun, as there were two stages, similar to our big Targa Rally here (hundreds of all sorts of cars compete - closed road rally race). First stage, they nominate your average speed, everyone is given the same average speed - was 2kms off that (you don't know what it is though at the beginning). You have questions to find answers for, and instructions to find fantastic roads!!!! Then we got to the end of the stage at our major race way in Auckland, Pukekohe Race Way, and are given the second lot of instructions and questions and then you have to nominate your own average speed. Quite surprising how it averages out, if you go through 50km areas and 100kms areas. Was pleased with our second place, as my novice co-pilot, had never done anything like this before. (Usually get 1st, but my average speed was 4kms under my estimate. So my fault). My co-pilot loves cars, but never had any exposure to car clubs or anything like that. Anyway, he did extremely well, had the map out referring to it and checking against the instructions, so I could hair on, and have warning before our next turn, even managed to negotiate a road detour for road works whilst the other cars sat at the side of the road looking confused. So having started last, we didn't arrive at the end last. My co-pilot is competent enough that he could learn to professionally co-pilot. I'm quite lucky as I have two good mates in the club that I can and do call on to co-pilot both having been professional rally co-pilots for quite a few years, one on an international basis. Poor co-pilot nearly lost his breakfast over a few fast dippy bits of road though, so I had to button off a bit after that. Pictures are taken at our end point for lunch at Castaways, a restaurant on the very wild West Coast, most southern end of the city.

Nice cats, nice car. You might need some filler to the damage to your wallet that's about to happen.

What are the plastics like inside the boot? Anything out of alignment? Never good thing to see.

Driving along the motorway yesterday morning to the start point of our Zclub rally, we got a big wave from another car passengers and thumbs up. Fast foward 1/2 hour jump back on the motorway to go to the next motorway off ramp 1.2kms away, and same again, massive wave from another car driver. My co-pilot waved back, think quite tickled that they liked the car.

It wasn't too bad here yesterday either, just very windy. But nothing deterred us yesterday. Zclub rally. Yeeehhhhaa!

You must have been melting.

Was extremely windy here yesterday for the England v Scotland match. Well done to Samoa. Lol, Blacky, now, now.

Welcome to the forum. Easy enough to get rid of swirls. Even the very worst. I detailed a black car a couple of years back that seriously looked like it had been washed with a brillo pad! It was awful, not after I'd finished attacking it with all the detailing goodies. Shiny and swirl free as a super shiny thing. The owner was slightly overcome, had never seen his car look like that. That's a great idea. Obviously depending on locality for him.

Welcome to the forum. What spec and colour was your 260?

Welcome to the forum. So would the Celica go in favour of the proposed Z? The Temper was also a limited run colour, 2007 only. It's definitely Temper Orange. Few subtleties.

Oh nice another rusty pumpkin.
