luv your work! got a gen5 with your name on it when you return to melb
oh and white interior just doesnt work when you have kids and two dogs

Easy, don't let your kids or your dogs in the car.

Or get one of these http://www.milford-auto.com/products/ca ... rty/705575
And some of these http://www.leaderproducts.com.au/produc ... out-chains

And chuck them all in the back together. They'll have a blast.

That 1M looks delicious.

On the XR8 though... how do people achieve such craptastic buffing trails? Do they try it without polish? Or too much/too little polish? Or wrong pads?

Rotary tool + lack of knowledge = buffing trails and risk of strike through or burning the paint

Unfortunately not, wouldn't mind the v8 Biturbo as a daily though. Might ask them for a spin in their R35 race car one day
