  1. I love the outside of your house, would I be able to send you a PM to pick you brain on some finishes?
  2. I hate nothing more than that red dirt, it stains everything it touches, I am going to cover the whole yard with gravel during construction.
  3. Thank you, I have a great crew, we building in OZ. The house has a very solid feel to it, I love it. This house will be quite different from the one I built before, I am curious myself how it will turn out
  4. I managed to find a bit of spare time to add the photos, as I said before the progress is VERY SLOW, I don't have time at the moment to concentrate on the house, I need two more months to complete the projects that we are working on. I will be able to concentrate on the house after that almost 100%, at least that's what I tell me wife I am building the house using precast concrete panels, not sure how many of you are familiar with the process, it is commonly used for constructing idustrial and commercial buildings, I am very familiar with the product and I wanted to use it for the construction of my house. It is a very fast building process, everything you see in the photos happened in less that 7 working days. The completed stages are the basement, suspended floor on top of the basement and the lower floor wall panels, next step is to cast the floor for the 2nd level. The photos are not very exciting but that's all I have to date
  5. That sucks man! karma will get him or her!!!
  6. That's insane, it must have a lot more power than they claim, Japanese cars usually do, when their power output was restricted by law(or maybe still is no idea) they were tuned in such way that you just have to replace the air filter you would gain significant amount of horse power. Who knows? I can't wait for the V-Spec
  7. Thank you very much Jota, I bet it wasn't easy trying to acquire such a rare automobile!
  8. Some unbelievable looking cars! I really like the looks of the Bizzarrini. Pardon my ignorance, how come the Dino is RHD?
  9. Very slow progress, I am very busy with one of our projects, due to bad weather it took a lot longer than expected we will be done in few weeks than I can concentrate on the house, I will post some shots of the progress. My connection is very slow for some reason, I will do it in the next few days.
  10. No, they would rather see themselves driving what we are driving!
  11. One of my friends owns a F430, he came to see me today and out of curiosity I asked him about the questions people ask him, he had a good reply to: "Why would you spend so much money on a car?" His reply is: "I have to quickly spend my money before my wife gets to it!" He always get's a good laugh.
  12. I do have this "gift" of coming up with smartass comments at the right time, I only know how many times my grandmother used her slipper on me
  13. I mostly got nice comments about the car, I did get the usual "How much does it cost mate?" I just say a lot, or too much no idea what else to say but some of them are genuinly interested in knowing. One situation that I will never forget, I was filling up, walked inside to pay an older gentlement approched me and said, I would like to congratulate you on whatever you are doing to be able to afford such an amazing car! It made me feel all warm inside I didn't know what to say to such nice comment, I just blotted out a stupid , thank you. Another comment, gas station, as I was walking out an older guy again said to me; "Wow this must be the new Viper!" I said no it is not it is a Lamborghini! He said:" A what??" I just left laughing. Ok I know this tread is about haters, I do have one: The worst comment I had definitely from a hater, as I was sitting at the lights on a very busy road, a pedestrian came to my window with his girlfriend (quite an attractive girl) she smiled and said to me "What a hot looking car, you must be able to pick up some attractive chicks!" I looked over to my wife smiled and said "Thank you, this hot looking chick is actually my wife!", her boyfriend proceeds to say: " Yes but it is the small one!" implying that I wasn't driving a Murci. I said to the girl: "You must be so disappointed that your good looks didn't work in your favor this time around!" She started laughing, he looked baffled, I heard him ask: What does he mean?" She said "Don't worry he was only joking didn't you hear that was his wife with him."
  14. Love it, drove one and quite enjoyed it!
  15. WOW that looks outstanding. Congratulations and enjoy it in good health!!
  16. VegasSE can you please reply to my PM?
  17. Did the keeper touched the ball? it sort of looked like, I am to lazy to watch the vid again, that and also because that guy talks to much crap, awesome goal but far from impossible.
  18. It would be nice but it is not going to happen!
  19. That is unbelievable and scary in the same time, I hope you got the brake upgrade! What a beast !
