Were 30/40s cars ever considered as high value, to the extent that middle 20th century cars are now? I never really took any notice of their prices until recent years.

And those of us who are too young to have enjoyed the cars now commanding high prices back in their heyday are now left to watch as the generations that came before us snap them up. We can barely afford a blardy house.

One good thing to take out of that is, those old buggers will die eventually, and the next generation will inherit their wealth and belongings.

Are old car prices going to keep climbing? Car prices can (sort of) be tracked based on the age of them. So are cars from the 40s/50s/60s still climbing? If they are, there's a good chance that 70s car prices will continue to rise for a while yet.

Although, we're getting due for another worldwide financial 'adjustment' soon too.

Here are some dates for upcoming Playday on Track days at Taupo (full circuit) for $150:

23rd July (Sunday)
13th August (Sunday)
8th October (Sunday)
26th November (Sunday)
16th December (Saturday)

How much were they?

Like all but wheels...

Do they not know of Hotwires in Japan or something?

What sort of time frame are you guys thinking? Say, 2 months away, to give us time to organise the track day and get are cars ready? That's right in the middle of winter, so we run the risk of getting rained out or freezing to death, summer's too far away to wait, I reckon.

I was just thinking about starting a thread last night for some sort of OS track day event. We can either tack ourselves on to a Playday type event (saves the hassle of trying to organise everything and stressing about numbers), or maybe do another Taupo Track 3 hire, like Markku suggested.

5 slots for the win.

Phuket?

Yep, I took the spare wheel off, folded in the mirrors, and took a whiz just before I did my fastest time.

No ashtray fitted from factory.

155/65/13 radials on a non-prepped track. Could possibly crack a 20 if I wear less clothes and have the wind behind me.

Do it, Brent.

I didn't realize you were after a Series 3 turbo. I could possibly be persuaded to sell mine if I knew it was going to a good home.

I've wanted another one ever since I sold my Series 3 back in 2008, but that money went towards the Cosmo instead.

I would like it very much.

I think so. I didn't find the FC pads I was looking for specifically, but I found a brand new set of Hawk pads that are for my FD. Either you or I can have a look at the Hawk brake pad database to see if they're the same, but they look like it to me.

Also piners, has anyone got an old set of front pads for an 86 onwards RX7? supposed to be DB416 I think and look like this

Don't need anything usable, just mocking up a brake setup and want to see how well they would fit.

I think I do. Remind me tomorrow night if I haven't reported back.

Funny, I was just thinking about this yesterday. Can I attempt my own challenge?

Perfect timing. Your Series 3 is worthy!

I better get some purple neons for the Doozimobile asap.

Free delicious food? I'm in!
