Prolly go up to 50ish.. Depending on the car of course.. Don't wanna option the crap out of a Mazda 6 or something to make it a 50 grand car.. Really haven't looked at much yet though..

Turbo charged VW Tiguan. All wheel drive, but not massive. Well kitted and build quality is exceptional.

Ahhh I see, learn something new everday! Since it'll be sprayed off, is it a rough finish or pretty smooth?

Best thing about doing work yourself especially something long term like doing a house/renovating etc..you know it's done right. Some of the sh*t I see on site for peoples homes..poor bastards

It's pretty rough. You scrub the top off so that say 30% of the stone is exposed, so its all over the shop. U trip you'll lose skin.

I hate when they coat that shoite on driveways. I hit it on the postie bike in the wet and I am on my ass before I know it. Even trying to turn away the front washed out.

My back's stuffed so I just let the bike go and the crash bars and foot pegs leave a nice reminder.

That and the huge snake I leave down there lawn cause I ride strait off and not down it.

Yep that's exposed agg, grey Crete with black and white. Bit plain for what I want, but for big areas looks good.

You hose it the next day with a pressure cleaner, then acid wash and seal it. Use bulk water.

Haha xr, yea sealer + wet = dangerous.

yer good thing about exposed agg is that you dont slip on it, makes it pretty grippy. and never dates.

atm the driveway I got is just really smooth concrete. slip on it all the time when wet. the postie doesnt like it hahah

Loving my car :)

Went for a trip to Gosford and back tonight which was also my first trip in the rain (road has been on and off wet all week though). I'd thought the tyres were OK until I gave it a stab at a set of lights...traction on the factory tyres is definitely bad in the wet, lol.

Varying the revs was easy going up, I kept getting stuck behind trucks overtaking people and idiots doing 111 in the overtaking lane. On the way back though I had to deliberately go from 80 up and back again otherwise it just cruised at a steady rpm. Dunno how people run them in on the hwy, much easier in suburban streets.

So far, comments include it has the wrong badge (lol), it's a demon car cause it's all black and that I have good taste in cars (from both a male and a female) so it can't be too much of a grandpa's car...
