I think Trouty got banned for doing burnouts in a laser at some cruise. He isnt on the forums anymore.

Ohh, yeah my cousin Ishmal owns the S2000, he was telling me about this guy with vaders and a beanie who drives really well. They call him VB (vader-beanie) on the Laverton drift circuit. He's no Gaijin down there!

OK I got the inside story from my mate who was in Tokyo with Jack, he lost the Eunos to the Triads after he got friendly with one of their girlfriends, then he came back to australia and got another EA, after this he was coming home from Laverton drift circut and was passed by a VL BT1 who dosed him, Jack couldn't resist the sound so the next day he bought a BT1.

There's more rumours about Jack's car than there were about Tom Cruise's baby.

If so I think that was the last time I saw it driving.

Hmmm already onto page 2 when one word (no) would suffice.

The EA is still in pieces with an extremely uncertain future and my (and Jase's) hands tied; I've sold the Laser, now driving a 5 speed '98 Eunos 500, the 800 is currently getting lowered and then I'll have the fun task of choosing one of the 3 remaining cars to actually keep. I'll make a proper thread when I'm ready to decide.

I admit it was a pooch-screw and I should have kept it as it was, but that was several years ago now so we all have to move on...
