Thought i would start this thread on things that are spotted while out on your daily chores. As my job has me on the road quite a bit I do get to see my share of things on the road. Here are a couple to start off..... http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x207/Motiv8or/really/omg2.jpg Check out his ...

Wow, this is amazing! That rollcage is a work of art, must have taken you forever to make? Not really, just a pair of side cutters and you're away As I have numerous models and quite a few 'double-ups' of some, I decided to pull apart one of the V8Supertaxi's and utilise the roll cage and interior ...

Thanks John, currently having a muck around with a 429 Boss Mustang and a special Corvette Racer (kit) for one of my good friends. Havent done a kit in over 20 years I reckon.

Cheers

Time to show the man himself as I won a ride package in the Porsche at Sandown (which was absolutely fantastic to be in a car with a talented driver) http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x207/Motiv8or/jr%20project%20sprint/IMG_0643.jpg ...and then for the 'promo/poster' shot with the transporter in ...

Strip off the old paint and get it ready for a coat of jam http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x207/Motiv8or/jr%20project%20sprint/CIMG1175a.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x207/Motiv8or/jr%20project%20sprint/CIMG12011.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x207/Motiv8or/jr%20project%20sprint ...

As I mentioned earlier here is my first attempt at modifying a 1:18 model and building up a Jim Richards Sprint. From what started life as a nice blue road car http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x207/Motiv8or/jr%20project%20sprint/CIMG1102a.jpg That needed to be stripped out and all body moulds and ...

Sorry Steve is packed away at the moment as we have run out of room for all of our stuff - need to buy a bigger place or build a cave upstairs.... We have the set signed by Morton, Allison and Brock (the top set in the photo below)

Yep went along to this one as well and also went to the previous event in 2003. Only running one car at a time per pass took a bit of the gloss off it campared to previous events but was still a great event despite a few startup issues on the Saturday. My wife actually entered the event in her 1965 ...

These are my favourites...the beaut model of the original Cobra CSX 2000 as tested before painting in polished aluminium,the interior is a real standout in this one Totally agree on this as it is probably my favourite in the whole collection - and have been lucky enough to drive a real one on ...

Was working in WA for 3 months about 6/7 years ago and a friend of mine came over the for V8SC round at Barbagello. Anyway on the Friday night we went out for dinner with Rosco McGlashan as Al (my friend) knows him. After dinner we were in the carpark and Rosco asked if we wanted to go to his place ...

Great little models these ones as have them both as well as the 'signature' 3 car set as well.

I also forgot to mention that for the past few years I have also been involved with volunteering at various motorsport events from club level all the way to F1's in Melbourne and have also amassed quite a few photos. Bit hesitatant about putting them up here at the moment as there are still fairly ...

Thanks Steve, not an overly big collection at the moment (and truth be known most of them are my wife's) but at the moment in the garage we have 63 Datsun 320 ute, 65 Prince Skyline GTB, 66 Datsun Fairlady (and another parts car), 2x Datsun 1200 'club' racecars, XD Falcon then the daily's are an XR8 ...

Seeing the photo of the Darracq reminded me of when it was brought over for the Phillip Island Classic and just wondering how Anne managed to stay in the vehicle when going through Turn 4.

This is a shot of the March 741-1 when it arrived in the country earlier this year, even at 6'2" I can still get into it.

WOW... great collection of images just makes me even more eager to get there this year with a couple of great friends.

Hi All, My name is Sean and more than likely a few of you may know me or vice versa. I am an avid motorsport tragic and probably for the last 10 years or so with more of an interest in Historic racing - as someone from the sidelines at this stage. I am nearing on the 'middle' stage of my life and as ...
