The Great Ocean Road - Australian content (56k fuck off)

[JamesE30]

A fantastic stretch of road along the coast in Victoria.
Missed the club "cruise" at 5am, so decided to tackle the 5hr trip solo.

Enjoyed having the road to myself at around 8am. (These days it's usually clogged with shit driving tourists, so you got to get in early!)

I Have quite a few pics But I'll just post these for now.

Since Last Pictures I posted quite a bit has changed, Currently the 323 has a nice set or OEM recaros (soon to be re-trimmed ALPINA style), and no back seat. Euro smilies and euro plates, m-tech plate frames. A nice dent in the rear courtesy of thy mother, soon to be replaced (the bumper, not the mother...) waiting for prep and install, m-tech one goodness, lots of interior goodness and some other little shit.

There will be a full thread with new updates coming soon I promise.


Pics.

All have been photoshopped, some more than others.
I personally am liking #3, #4 and #5...
Probably #4 the most, but I might "re-photoshop" it...

Thanks for the compliments guys!

The seats are OEM e30 RECARO's
*Yes, they do exist, no they are not sport seats.

They're extremely rare, and I pounced on them the second I saw a set for sale!
As you can see they need a re-trim (which is on the way), but the are soo comfortable, and extremely supportive. And when they're not torn up lik mine, they look fuking sweet too.

As you can see I have the back seat out. But I have plans for there, in progress. In fact the WHOLE interior is a work in progress right now so no hatin' on it!





This is the tunnel under the city I went through. Unfortunately the speed limit is 80kmph ...What it would be like to hammer through that thing at 180! :twisted:

Reminds me of PCH.

But what is the "P" for?

But what is the "P" for?

"Probationary license" Must be displayed until at least 21 years of age.
Blood alcohol content must be ZERO at all times, can't tow trailers, some other small restrictions apply to me.

Recent laws mean new "P-Platers" have many more restrictions on speed limits, passengers and other driving rules, with different coloured P-plates as well, some good rules, but some unnecessarily complicated ones on the most part.
Thank god I got in before those laws.

It's a fantastic drive, and yes, there is some lovely scenery.

Nice car. And seats.

There is nothing wrong with having no back seat! I dont have any seats in my black car right now. I just sit on a box when I cruise around in it.

Who ever said there was!?
I have no intention of putting one back in (unless I find an M3 rear seat, but that won't happen)

I love the sound and feel of a semi "gutted" car!
