The black and silver beast that I spotted yesterday was still there today for me to capture this poor photo of it:

That black at the back looks strange, each to their own I guess!! Mags are ok though. There is another starion owner down in Huonville, he has a VR4 head on his car :) his username is starion84, I haven't been on here for a while so dunno if he still posts much...

When are we thinking for a track day? Avandull and I know of about 12 in the state, there's probably more.

Dunno, but I've known there was a black one down here now I know who owns it as well. Its got front end damage but they are repairing it.

Where's that one? I know Avandull knows a guy from Kingston way with a starion, but I can't for the life of me remember what colour it is, have a suspicion black, but I could be making it up.

Ahh it lives on the Eastern Shore now, but prior to being stacked I don't know, I spotted it in the carpark of Bunnings on the Brooker once.

Here are some photos from the Baskerville track day. The photos of the mangled break pads belong to my neighbour's Toyota Celica. He wore them down to metal and distorted the shape of the metal leaving an imprint of the break piston in the remains of the pad.

And the tyres with a bad case of peeling track-burn are avandull's - time for some new ones

Nice photos! How bad were the tires at the start of the day and how long did you guys run them for?

Avandull, does "gal" ever get a run in the Starion? :D

The tyres were on their way out, but they weren't quite that bad. I was going to get a run that day, but because the drift boys showed up the caretaker was around all day and we weren't going to pay $100 to let me have a go (Avandull is a member of a car club, but I'm not). So I just got to be pit/camera crew :( .

Avandull has recently made the seat adjustable so i can reach the pedals and the gears. I've driven it once....home from the supermarket. Maybe one day soon.....

Wow, today was a great day! I took the Starion up to Baskerville to spectate the drift day and ended up meeting a few other owners which really surprised me because I thought I would be the only one there! :D

So now I know:

Matt - On here somewhere, in the process of VR4 conversion
Nick - 'Shiftlock' with a bloody tidy red JA
Tom - White JA, told him about the proposed track day, told him about Austarion.com and also got his contact details. :beer

So we had 3 Stazza's in the carpark and Matts is "on the street rusting" rofl

Anyway, that made my day!
