Default Perth (Western Australia) Performance Motor Show (56K No go)

Thought I would share the performance motor show that was recently held here in Western Australia. The show was okay, but nothing flash. Definately not like some of the other major shows that make there way here from time to time. Enjoy the pictures (apologies I only had my camera phone on me, so the quality isn't the best).

The important car first. This is [ant]'s car and looking at it, I really have to make a plan to upgrade from the ES to the GS as soon as I can.

The shifter in the GS looks like a dirty pirate hooker at a wine tasting event.

lol yeah thats my car at the top, and do any of you seriously buy curtains, cushions, tables etc in total seriousness? yes the shifter is a bit of a laugh, and i guess you could say almost my signature thing- ive had many different ones in nearly all of my old cars especially my S13s.

ideally a Garson Crystal is the next step but for now i like the ***** one, better than a worn out stock one imo. certainly got plenty of laughs over the w/end too from on-lookers haha

I don't buy any of that stuff as I think it looks funny on 99% of the cars that have it anyways...but as long as your happy with it, it doesn't matter what I think...though I wouldn't be caught rockin that ***** ****
