Hello from Aus

**lachy87** · 01-24-2012, 09:23 AM

Hey everyone.
I'm Lachlan, 24 and work in the mining industry in Melbourne. I'm a keen target shooter and am building a replica lotus 7 car in my spare time when Im not working to pay for my watch addiction.
Ive been collecting watches for a while now. a few tags,rolexs' etc.
Although I recently bought a carrera 36rs (from trevor) for my brother its too heavy for him, so I'm looking to trade that for a breitling to expand our collection. So if you know anyone who wants a mint condition carrera hit me up

Lachlan

Hi Lachy, great to see more Aussies here!
Those 7's are sweet cars, friend of mine has one

If you want to trade mate, goto the sales section and see how to do it right - pics etc and put up a proper thread. Ask away if you need to.

All the best and enjoy the forum

Thanks guys
louisruby - They are indeed great cars. I've always wanted one. I've gone the sr20det route with complete s15 running gear and rear end. So presently I have the motor wired in and just looking to get the finicky details done. Cant wait for that 400bhp/tonne acceleration!

macshooter - I envy your constitution so much, as I am sure you are aware, we are only allowed bolt guns / pump centrefires / lever shotguns.
Presently they are trying to tighten the belt around our balls to limit us to 3 guns per person, so the shooters here are trying to revolt against that. So we as shooters have to stick together.
Hopefully I can make the treck to the USA and buy some chassis systems and scope in the near future as the AUS prices are ridiculously high and inflated!

Well they are doing thier best over here to make our Constitution nothing more than an old meaningless piece of paper. I wish you luck battling the nanny staters down there in Oz.
