A Haunted Celica and some Haunted Hills

I had dinner with Tony last night and asked what car he was taking on our Sunday drive. Imagine my shock when he said he was taking his Celica. Yes the one with the suspected blown head gasket. Everyone rolled in at 10am. Brett had some delicious novelty gifts for me from Singapore. And then as […]

GRAPE KINGS: The Amazing Race

Tony, Charlie and I all had a birthday a few weeks apart so we thought we’d gather our friends around for an epic party and hired out a skid pan! However, due to some council restraints, we were no longer allowed to use the facilities and had to come up with a last minute plan. […]

SYDNEY: Remembering the Buster

It’d been a few months since I’d last been in Sydney so when Pete messaged that he was throwing a party for his 15th year relationship anniversary I was more than happy to fly up for the festivities! On Saturday morning we hit up Narada’s cafe, John Montagu, with John, Simon, Phuoc and Pete. As […]

Sydney: Track car roulette

Pete had been trying to organise another outing for us at Marulan however, he had a slight conumdrum. He was now the owner of two vehicles that he wanted to track but could only drive one of them down. Being the generous friend that I am, I offered to take one of his cars for […]

Sydney: Marulan track day

Monday 11th March, 2013 I was originally meant to return to Melbourne on Sunday night after the Top Gear Festival however, after a quick phone call to the airline I had my return flight pushed back. Why? Well, it just may have come to my attention that there was a track day on Monday and […]

Sydney: A temporary citizen

After being offered some free tickets to Top Gear festival, I decided to head up to Sydney to work for a week and catch up with the usual suspects in between. Sunday starts with a rainbow and an early morning twisty run. The rainbow was an entirely appropriate omen as the vehicles we were cruising […]

Sydney: Boost, Bunyips and Butterfly Farm

29-30th December, 2012 After Marulan track day we were all exhausted from the drive back. It was decided that the best form of relaxation was to go karting at Revesby. The karts here are already awesome as they are two speed and postie bike powered, but things are going to get a whole lot more […]

Marulan track day: A mighty Blue Turd

In late December last year, I was lured to Sydney after receiving an email from Pete: “Marty and Ben and I are heading to Marulan if that impacts your Sydney travel plans in any way…. :)” Admittedly it doesn’t take much to lure me to a track day. Next minute, flight to Sydney booked. We […]

The Great Ocean Road-ster: Day One.

After Jarrod purchased his NB, plans were made to up the ante and go on an epic road trip to Tasmania. We priced up how much it would cost us to get the cars over there and back and were surprised to say the least… Jarrod: WTF it’s like $1200!? Me: For that price we […]

EXE Track day: An overview

21st October, 2012. When it comes to taking photos at track days I’m driving at, I’m pretty damn slack. After going through my photos yesterday I realised that I only have photos of two out of the five groups out on the track. Whoops! Anyway, lets start with the most important cars. Because everyone knows […]
