yea I would have loved to get the roadsters but the price is nearly double (well at least when I was looking and I could only find one seller in Aus Clicky)
as for the white seat, it does look umm interesting, not sure how comfortable it would be if it wasn't moulded for your shape though

ok well haven't updated this in a while
clear indicators and reflectors are on now

and a fire extinguisher in passgener seat

bracket for fire extinguisher was made by using a cardboard template to get shape, size and bolt locations then copied onto some 3mm aluminium, cut with hacksaw, smoothed edges with sandpaper, holes drilled, rivets to keep fire extingisher bracket on and then installed.
didn't take half as long as expected

Yeah. I too was admiring this shot. How did you remove the florescent light blueish/green hue? Did you use filters or used Photoshop to correct the lighthing?

What do you tell girls that get in your car and ask, "why is there a fire extinguisher here?"?. "Its just incase we crash and burst into flames."
I think they'd get out.
haha, if you explain it the right way it makes the car look more hardcore.
haha
thing is..
he doesnt let ANYONE in his car, so there is no explaining to be done.
then he ends up lost and left behind at servos when we all go for a cruise.
(though apparently it was all going to be my fault if the car caught fire and everyone died on track day.. go figure??)

I don't just let anyone in my car, I at least need to know their name

It's actually there to remind me to get a passenger, just so I don't forget
search has been going on for a while but it's hard to find a good one, Alex kept on freaking me out when she would try grab the non existent handle near the top of the window everytime I turned a corner

argh you suck
well you try not freaking out after you've been in a head on collision which landed you in hospital..?
I don't do it anymore, but you wouldn't know that.
Ask wei wei, hes taken me out for a few runs lately on his new tires.
Although I worry I'll end up against another wall on old pac, I dont move.

and back on topic
I have made up an aluminium cover for my pod filter, I'll install it soon then take some pics
if you are making stupid remarks to me..
you really need to fix your phone..!
I sent you about 3 txt yesterday, cause whatever you sent me yesterday morning, merged itself with another txt and made no sense what-so-ever..!
soooo
naturally I harassed you about what you wanted, and got no reply.
so thinking you were sleeping, I went about my day, expecting to hear from you later.. but no.
the cover sounds kinda bling, it'll be interesting to see how it looks
