Mando,
they are 18's, made for Shelby by American Wheels. Fully polished all aluminium. Very, Very nice.
Toyo R888 - 275/40ZR18 Rears and 245/40ZR18 on the front.... Lovely tyres, they performed well in all situations and wear was better than expected.
They are horribly expensive, but for today only, I'll throw in a free car 
Here are some better pics.
Cameron

Cameron,
Yes the motel owner has three Corvettes in a garage there.
Did he show you them?. Neat late '60's with a 427. Also a nice '89 convertible.
Now the Great Ocean Road is my run back to Geelong. It is fun. Especially early in the morning...  ....
Talk soon.
Bernie

I'm sure he would have shown us the Garage, but we were too busy testing the temperature of his bar fridges
It's a thirsty drive from Adelaide...

Mmmm wise decision to stay out of the air on the July 4th day.. 
You will be there right in the middle of the auto events.. 
No doubt we will catch up over there.
Now I'll leave you to your wish list of cars that you will build or purchase over there....
I hope they pay in US dollars..

was reading the NYTimes, came across this and thought that the map seemed to gel with my own experiences of people I know of going to work in the US.
Camerons move seems to be perfectly in line.

I was playing around on the weekend with some new software for image processing and ended up with this from a photo. Looks kind of like a painting, just thought I would post it for the group.
Ahhh, the Great Ocean Road
There is a larger version in my gallery.
Cheers
Cameron

In interesting online photo editor is at
www.picnik.com
I think your are limited in resolution but some of the effcts are pretty neat (and easy).
Gimp is a reasonable photoshop clone and its free! Find some online tutorials and learn about layers or youll be stuffed trying to figure it out by yourself.
Great photo Cameron by the way.
Cheers

Sorry for the delay, just back from Austria....
The effect is a combination of Photomatix Pro and Photoshop..
It's using three bracketed photo's to combine into one image and then using the inbuilt tools you can get a all sorts of results from bringing out the details in shadows (like inside the wheel arches) and maintaining details in the lighter areas, like the clouds.
If you can't be driving, you may as well be playing around with pictures from when you were driving!!

My better half is a Photoshop expert - seriously clever with it!
Its not the easiest Program to use at its full potential, but when you see a picture of say a Cobra in the relection of some ones eyes then its pretty imppressive.
CS3 (4 now) is pretty expensive, but Elements for $150 is good value and simple to use - I can do it 
Cameron - Good job mate

The rise and rise of the Aussie Dollar
As many of you know I am relocating to the US. Since I posted the car for sale, the Aussie dollar has staged a comeback, by something close to 20%
As my goal is to have a replacement in the US, or just ship this one over, I am working on a US cost base.
So, long story short. I would like to see $US80K for the car. the Aussie was at 65cents when I listed and is now at near 80cents.
If this creates a greater level of interest, let me know here or via PM.
If not, no worries, I have plans to ship the car in December to the US.
Cheers
Cameron 'currency trader' Parsons

Hi Cameron,
Your SPF for US$80k is great value with the current FX rate making the AUD$ cost under the $100k mark!
Someome should get themselves a bloody good SPF Cobra for under $100k Aussie.
Regards.....Paul
