Roll Call! - Who's Reading?

It's occurred to me today from finding my stats on blogger that more people read this than I thought. I don't get a large amount of comments on here, but I always love to hear from new people.

So with that in mind I'd LOVE to hear from as many people that read my blog as i can!

Definitely keen to hear what car you drive, where you're from, where your local mountain is, whether you have a blog... Whatever you wanna list guys!
Especially keen to see some links and pics as well :)

Spread the word, and hopefully I can hear from quite alot of new people!!

Cheers

iPhone

So I FINALLY found an app to blog through my iPhone!

Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!!!! *party*

This is my first post with it so technically it's a bit of a test. Anyway here's some photos from before our hill run last night. Nick came all the way down from Brisbane and Jase brought out his 86 despite it dumping more fuel than BP while at idle.

Unfortunately as well we also had some of our mates Jayrad and Luke Fink get pulled over and fined in their s14's *sad face*

Cusco

Ive had coilovers in my S13 for about a year now, Cusco in the front and Tein in the rear.
Interestingly enough, the noblet who owned them previously decided that when he wanted to paint his engine bay covering up the camber tops wouldn't be a great idea.

So for the past year ive had Cusco camber tops with cracked purple paint peeling off them. Im not sure why its taken me a year to do something about it, i think i assumed it would be far easier to do it with the tops out of the car and just didnt want to bother until then.

Anyway, this afternoon i got stuck into it with a stanly knife and got most of it off. If i ever pull the coilovers out for a short reason ill do a better job, but this is pretty good for now.

This is how they looked before

And now after cleaning them up a bit and a decent wipe down.. Still scratched as fuck but at least that beautiful Cusco blue is all you can see now.

New QR photos

Thanks to a mate of mine i managed to find some more photos from the other QR morning.
Quite happy because they are the photos of me sliding with Nick that i have been looking forward to... I was hoping there was some with us in more closer proximity, but maybe there are some floating around somewhere.

If not there's always next track day!

*New Member*

So i have some very exciting news that after much consideration, various hill runs and multiple track days we will be adding another Midnight Mechanic to our ranks.

I won't divulge too much information until everything is set in stone, however i can assure you that this person is more than worthy of the Midnight Mechanic name.

For now i shall leave it a mystery and let all you sharp minds try to work out who it is.
In the mean time, enjoy this photo of snow

Peace

Nath's Corner

Yesterday afternoon i went for a drive and photo shoot with fellow old school enthusiast Nathan McKenna, who has been asking me recently for some photos of my car for his blog.
Always being up for photos and drives and with yesterday being the perfect weather i was more than happy to.

Check out his blog here:

This is Nathan's Sunny which is quite a damn cool car, and a very clean example as well. I've wanted one of these for a while now (among like a billion other cars) but they are quite hard to get... But i guess you have to expect that for anything when you like cars pre-80's

Here's Nathan getting some shots of my car, we just went for a bit of a drive around Hope island which made for quite a relaxing Sunday afternoon.

Obviously i decided to bring my camera as well and couldn't help getting a few shots of my own. I might have to return Nathan the favor of a photo shoot some day with his car, or his new project. But more on that later ;)

Also, this is the view we had at the end of the day when we were just wrapping up the shoot. God i love L glass so damn much, there is absolutely NO editing in this shot, not even cropping. I did the slightest unsharp mask and that is it!

Literature Of The Orient

I absolutely love Option, Drift Tengoku, and particularly G-Works magazines, but not as much as i absolutely LOVE my girlfriend who picked all these up for me when on a trip back from Sydney without me even mentioning a thing.
I gotta say I'm pretty damn lucky to have a Girl that knows exactly what Japanese car mags i love without even asking me!
