Ahhhhh nine months cold turkey without the doorstop, still miss it when I find a good road (of which there are a LOT and more sensible speed limits here too)

England is fun, the job has some quite awesome aspects, have seen some jaw droppingly cool bits of prototype stuff that will remain confidential for at least a few more years. Driven the odd supercar and of course spend a lot of my time in Lotii which I'm growing to really like apart from how damn hard they are to get in and out of! Diving into 2GR and 2ZR engines feels kinda familiar.

Quite a few SW20s in the carpark and I've chatted to some owners, one guy makes regular trips to the Nurburging. A number of Spyders too but Adubs are rarer than rocking horse ****.

The flying doorstop is now registered up in Sydney so some of you may come across it on occasion.

Miss the car, miss the club, miss the people but can't regret making the move, life's an adventure!

One day I'll get another Adub. One day...

It's back on the road and now fitted with a kiddy seat in the front. My daughter has a great time telling me off for driving to fast (when going like a nana) and that it's to loud! " />

Well it's spent the majority of the last month on stands waiting for me to fix the clutch slave cylinder. But it's hopefully close to being back on the road.

Yeah I should've fixed the plate, it could go back a bit although the IC at the front means it can't go that far.

Favorite pic so far from Haunted Hills 2010. Awesome day.
Hopefully lots more to come from the shutterbugs there.

Had forgotten how great the steering is with decent tyres on, my 90% knackered R1R trackday treads just blow the Federal 595evo roadies to pieces for grip and feel.
