Looks like a great day out. Makes the weekend sacrifice all worth it :)

Wow I'm envious guys, rock on and smoke it.

I normally dont work on weekemds as i know the value of time and relaxation. But today and yesterday i started work at 5:30am! “I normally only get up before 5am if im going fishing” was ringing through my head.

The positive is that I got to drive the Ferrari F8 Tributo to motivate & remind me why i was awake before the birdsong! It’s all about what comes out of hard work - the privilege of greater life experiences!

Passers by pop over and check the car out all of the time. I love the smiles they get just looking at it.

I’ve posted this to highlight that most people only see the “results” of hard work - not the sweat, hours and sacrifices that people make to get ahead in life. Sure, enjoy your weekend but ask yourself what sacrifices you’ve made recently to create betterment in your and the life of those around you.

I have a simple philosophy …no pain:no gain!

It is not as social media too often portrays!

You need to have focus, discipline and work bloody hard to get ahead both financially, spiritually and emotionally! I once read as a young man - “the world owes you nothing” and I knew in that moment, we all need to get off high horses and make it happen ourself!

As much as I’d have loved the weekend off, I’ll now be able to spend tomorrow with a great group of our Club members at a race circuit.

I’ll be in another toy and will head there knowing i sacrificed my weekend, time with family, catching up with people and a real painful one - not being able to fish on a sunny, flat water day!

I’ll really enjoy tomorrow and people around me will have little idea of the sacrifices I’ve made to create an experience for them. They shouldn’t have to think about them either - they have their own story and I’ll have little idea of the sacrifices they’ll have made to get there. The important thing is being in the moment and sharing an experience that easily surpasses the pain everone took to get there!

That’s the point - everyone has a story. Everyone has made sacrifices.

I stopped doing a lot of social media as too many people are misled by it. It’s not about the car you drive - it’s all about values, hard work and learning the drivers story!

Get out there and make sacrifices. It’s hard at the time, but creates better outcomes, memories and awesome stories!

New Pirelli rubber going on the GT2RS today.

Chris and his team do an incredible job. The teams attention to detail and ensuring the rims remain in top condition throughout the process is first class.

Man, I get nervous about the rims on my old Audi when replacing the rubber - but a GT2 RS! I might need medication.💊

If you’re into technical builds and learning more about how an engine, transmission, gearbox, clutch, suspension, etc… work, this P1 LEGO technic build is such a cool way to pass the time these holidays. 3,893 pieces of fun.

Loving every minute of this build! Who needs to spend millions to appreciate the engineering prowess of a McLaren P1 😆🤭

Merry festive season everyone! It’s important to take a break and do something out of your normal, busy routines each year.

That’s one reason why I get a Lego technic model each Xmas. Great fun to build, relaxing and you really can appreciate engineering and design when you make these models. From the engine build (yes you create 6 cylinders that function), suspension, aero… it’s all something different from my daily finance world and SoNZ activities yet somewhat related.

Enjoy your Xmas break and do something different. Bring on 2025!!!

A bunch of our SoNZ Driver's Club members kindly brought their cars along to AutoFest on Sunday. Thanks to them, Pirelli & the lucky bidders who enjoyed rides around Hampton Downs, we managed to raise $5145 for I AM HOPE. It was a great day & we'll be back in 2025! ... See MoreSee Less

That’s awesome. I had the privilege of riding in 3 of your cars, & loved them all. Your members were very generous & put on a great show.

That was so much fun and glad we raised that much 🤩

If you like cars, Hampton Downs was the place to be today. Great weather, the noise, smell of race gas & a waft of tyre smoke adding to the experience!

Regardless of the car you drive, they are levellers & bring people together from all walks of life.

A few of us picked up passengers waiting as “hitchhikers” during the controlled speed laps. Imagine a GT2RS, Lambo STO & Tecnica, and a Porsche turbo, GT4RS all turning up as track Uber rides and giving some unexpecting members of the public an experience.

Their smiling faces, thank you’s and handshakes of appreciation made all our drivers glad we use our cars and remember back to when we dreamt of having a ride in a nice machine - let along getting to own one one day!

First time I’ve had these two as stable mates. Gt2RS heading to Hampton Downs tomorrow to AutoFest.

All my slots have filled for passengers to have a spirited couple of laps as we raise money for I AM HOPE. Looking forward to seeing their smiles 💥

Just had a great day at Taupo with a some incredible cars attending!

We experienced mixed weather, but that allowed us to vary things and have a few wet exercises before heading into more serious dry laps.

We scheduled “ladies only” sessions for our newer, club members and it was great to see them swapping seats & learning some driving skills in a safe, uncompetitive & fun environment.
