Cal, I'm sure you had a million things going through your brain that weekend, good job.

When I checked it in the computer yesterday it was set to read only. Might have been the problem. Last year one of the batteries was a dud. Oh the ironing... I spent $500 on the fucking thing for times like this. Last year I missed recording the fastest lap I have ever done (and am ever likely to do) at Bathurst because of it.

Next year I will bring mine as a backup for when you race the Mosler/Gallardo/458Italia

There is a picture in today Auto Action of you leading the pack

**Nafe** · 11-04-12, 01:13 PM

That'd be my pic

**Cal** · 11-04-12, 01:20 PM

Niiiiice, will have to collect that tonight.

Know the feeling mate. Got home from the Morgan Park 1hr last year to find all of 5 seconds of video due to a flat battery. I must have forgotten to turn it off the previous day

Pity you couldn't get the G40 sorted, did Graeme not have the parts or was it too much effort at short notice to get it fixed?

Finally had a chance to watch the QR and Bathurst videos. It looks like a good bit of gear, with great brakes and fairly predictable handling. What was the gearbox like? You reckon this is better than a 2B Lotus?

Is Darren just leasing this car from Steve one meeting at a time?

Reckon he'll buy one or does he want to run something more exotic?

You guys doing the QLD 1Hour?

**Cal** · 13-04-12, 03:03 PM

By the time we got hold of him ie 10pm Saturday night it was all just too hard. Steve will likely have bought something off him this week. Thanks a lot for the trouble you went to from your deck chair!

I reckon it's a lot better than a 2B Lotus. Far less stressed and uncomplicated.

Leased for this round, but he was planning to buy it this week.

I am hoping to do all 4 rounds, but I'm sure my wallet has other ideas.

**TCR** · 13-04-12, 04:15 PM

Nice, hopefully I'll get a chance to check it out up close soon.

Has Kerry bought one or is he leasing too?

**Cal** · 14-04-12, 08:12 AM

Same situation. Leased with view to buy it.

**sirhsv** · 29-04-12, 08:48 PM

Heres a good advertisment for the the strength of the Ginetta. Aftermath of a massive accident at the latest round of the VLN involving the race leading BMW Z4 and a Ginetta this weekend. Both drivers walked away with no serious injuries.

**bigmuz** · 29-04-12, 09:05 PM

Yeah that will really settle Cal's nerves Cheers

Well as long there's no BMWs in the race he should be fine haha.

In all seriousness it was the Ginetta driver's fault, apparently he turned in on the BMW.

Yeah thanks cunt! Especially as I'm trying to justify doing Eastern Creek 1hr in a few weeks time.

**Nafe** · 30-04-12, 09:45 AM

Do eeeeeet. I will be there taking more pics

**Cal** · 30-04-12, 09:50 AM

Speaking of which, I ran a couple of yours through Lightroom on the weekend. I hope you don't mind? Mostly just cropping.

**Nafe** · 30-04-12, 10:07 AM

Do what you like with them, you bought them

Will send invoice later tonight

**Cal** · 30-04-12, 10:22 AM

LOL I like your attitude.

Take your time.

**morerevsm3** · 01-05-12, 05:14 PM

**Cal** · 02-05-12, 09:11 AM

We plan to, but it's probably a few years away yet.

**Cal** · 02-05-12, 10:13 AM

Nafe's excellent handy work at Bathurst.

**bigmuz** · 02-05-12, 10:31 AM

Fucking top pics. The first one is a stunner as is the third. Wow.

**Uncle Arthur** · 02-05-12, 10:40 AM

That Ginetta looks like a Datsun

**Cal** · 02-05-12, 10:53 AM

Pretty farkin good isn't he.

I like a bloke who can take the piss out of himself

**Gammaboy** · 02-05-12, 11:47 AM

Does look remarkably like a 240Z

Side windows peeling out a bit at the top edge at speed?

**Cal** · 02-05-12, 11:54 AM

Dunno saw that. First time I opened the door I nearly tossed it down pit lane. It weighs about 2g.

**Greg Rust** · 02-05-12, 10:33 PM

Not sure if you will be offended but ballpark what did it cost for the lease drive?

>10k < 50k?

**Cal** · 03-05-12, 09:17 AM

PM sent

**Greg Rust** · 03-05-12, 04:31 PM

Thanks mate, very interesting

Done thing. We will be there. Hopefully do all 4 rounds of the series.

**Nafe** · 08-05-12, 05:06 PM

Swet. Unfortunately my old man won't be running. Ran out of time to prep the car before the meeting (still lots to do). But I'm out there shooting for Radical all weekend
