Then after getting out of the way of an ambo near the end of the ICB, I find myself cathing another red one outbound on Coro drive, just before I had to trun into Graham street for work. Too far away to see if it was sco's plates, but I guess it was. :wave:

Finally spotted this post after a hint from Hymee.

Yeah it was me all three times... had to take the other car to Clayfield for new tyres then drop the better half at work at Taringa.

Hehehe. I think he needs an award for finally working out how to do that!

He should know this is a public forum and he should try to hide his real identity and not publish pictures of himself.

2 velocity reds in Sydney

Saw two Velocity Red 8's this morning as I travelled from Neutral Bay to Hunters Hill. The first, on the Pacific Hwy at North Sydney travelling towards the city at 8:15am; the second, on Northwood Rd at Wollstoncraft travelling towards Crows Nest. I waved to the first but the second caught me by surprise at the crest of a hill.

Gosh, they look cool cars (…moment of reflected narcissism…) You guys -- if you are here or not -- have great taste! :p

Greetings All,

Spotted a Winning Blue RX-8 on the Tuggerah Westfield roundabout last sunday afternoon at 3:40pm - it was heading west (presumable towards the F3 ramps) and I was heading east - not in our RX-8 though - it seems funny to finally see 'your' car coming towards you doesn't it ? I was in my other car as I don't take the RX-8 to Westfield (or any other shopping centre) carparks - especially in the busy shopping times.

Saw a Titanium on Burns Bay Rd Sydney yesterday - both of us travelling towards Chatswood. We stopped side by side at the River Rd lights and rolled down windows. Titanium exclaimed "how about this f*&^%n car! Have you ever driven anything that goes around corners like it?" To which I agreed, absolutely :D

Saw a Velocity one this morning (7:30ish) on the Gateway heading north at Boondall. Red and white plates. Please identify...

Timbo - if "Titanium" joins the forum, will he shorted his nickname? Tit

Cheers,
Hymee.

There is a titanium grey RX8 in my hospital. I don't know who that is and most of the residents and registrars does not. It has a sticker of a private hospital parking permit. I guess it belongs to one of the consultant.

I am tempted to write a card to him and introduce him to this site. I could tell him we are up against a sexy plastic surgery registrar who drive a touring version of 350Z

Hee hee -- it's a wonder someone hasn't taken it already -- possibly some lady who subsequently receives the (unwanted) attention of L&L :D

Not an RX8 , but,

saw my former car on the way home tonight. Black 6 speed
2000 Celica with the same plates. Being driven by a middlish
aged woman (hard to tell with the dark window tint) IMPROPERLY.

I used to always give that car stick. The VVTI engine loved to be spanked and she was driving it sedately. I feel like stealing it for a while and taking it for a lash through the hills to make it feel better.

I sold my car (a DC2 Integra Type R) to an middle aged guys who calls me now and then to ask me questions - stupid one really. He loves the car, fixed all the dents and resprayed all minor scratches. Also realigned the car frame and put a new air filter in. Lucky Har Gao is being look after ( that is what I called my old car)

"Har Gao" was the last one, what does than translate to?

So what is the '8 called?

I used to have a Har Gao (Shrimp Dumpling) which was a white Integra Type R DC2 (lightweight ver.) with red Recardo seats.

Most of my friends have Yum Cha dishes named after their cars..

Compare to my friend also has a white Integra Type R RSX (DC5) also red Recardo inside - heavier and his car's name is Cha Siu Pao (Pork Bun)

Someone has a grey Boxster S look like Yue Chi Gao (shark fin dumpling) it is expensive dish as well!!!!

One friend has a Yellow MR2 which is a Dan Tat (Custard Tart) and how has a R34 GTR which is white with black leather so... Tong Yuen (Seasame ***** - a Yum Cha desert)

A black 200SX with strange green tinge to the uphostery - his name is Pei Dan (preserved Duck eggs)

I have a black RX8 and I call it "Gee Ma Goun" - Seasame roll (black outside and red inside)

What we call ourselves? The

Yum Cha Club
