Went for a spin today through Geelong....

everyone wants to have a piece of me...LOL


I can confirm that WRX and something called a Mondeo Turbo can't cut it...

I think they got a fright...But both gave me a thumbs up which was nice...

Would you believe it, I gotta get the 1500k service done already...


(It's been 3 months)

Closest Ralliart dealer is in Werribee...oh well, off we go in the morning...

Another fang down the Geelong Road....


Now where did I put the car again?

Im having a nice chuckle, thats exactly how my GTR sits at the moment, under a cover.

Its good at stopping the dust from scratching the paint.

Do you lift the cover every now and then for a romantic, loving peek Zed?

At the rate your driving it, it will clock less than 6000km per year.

Does that mean you will have to take it in for an oil change before the next service is due? Most manufacturers say 6 months or next Km service.

Lifes hard when you own a quick desirable car..... "sigh"

What did you expect zed, you took it to Werribee, i didnt think they had seen cars there yet.

$50 to change the oil and filter is dirt cheap.

Maybe next time ask them to use a full synthetic oil, if you intend to hold onto her.

Tisk, tisk im disappointed in you now.

Why didnt you pull out an outragous figure and say yeah for the right price.

I hope they didnt take it for a test drive after the service without you in the car. Never let anyone touch her.

True...but it was there or Knox City...through that dirty Citylink tunnel with all those diesel fumes on the red paint...

Sounds right if your doing the first service correctly considering they have other cars to do also.

Theres alot of bolts that need to be checked for tightness, fluid levels, brakes, and cables if they followed the book.

Plus they were probably 50% shitting themselves and 50% tugging over her.

Funny thing i use to use Preston Mitsu when i had a Magna and found that they provided the best service from all the other different car manufacturers.

Car washed, sometimes detailed, engine bay always steam cleaned and imaculate.

Could be part of Mitsubishi's customer care policy.

Are those Holden CV8 things meant to have any grunt or what?

First attempt he looked at me funny (when he caught up...)

On his second attempt he stalled it...
