Figured its time for a warmup cruise getting ready for our winter runs guys.... Meet at Caltex Heathcote (southbound) at 7.30pm for an 8.00pm leave. Follow Princes Hwy south to Waterfall, turning right onto the Old Princes Hwy and follow to Bulli. Rejoin the freeway at Bulli and follow down to Albion Park. Meet in the big carpark behind the BP/ KFC servo southbound on the Princes Hwy at Albion Park at approx 8.45-9.00PM for food and drink break and meet up with those from the Gong. Leaving the carpark,we turn left onto Princes Hwy we travel for 1 km and turn right at Station St. At 1 km, turn right onto Tongarra Rd and follow for 10kms to the foot of Mac. Pass We will slow towards the start of the Pass to make sure eveybody is together before climbing the mountain and finish at Robertson Pie Shop. To add some interest, I have issued an invitation to the guys from South Coast Commodores if they may like to catch up for a run and meet and greet deal... All normal cruise rules will apply and members are asked to make sure their CB's are charged and working. So who's in?.....

Thanks all the same Tobey...but I'm looking at nightime deals that start at 8.30PM not 8.30AM....

Im frustrated..... Whilst I'd love to do some more night runs....I'd like to vary things up a little.. Sure, Mac Pass is always popular...but I think its time we started thinking about other places and roads we might be able to utilise for a bit of a fang The weather's starting to cool down at night now guys....and that means excellent turbo conditions... Im open to suggestions here guys....

With big corporates wanting to peddle their wares to the Middle East and Asian markets, we can expect even more races going overseas too... Qatar and Singapore will probably be next.... To be honest, Im pretty much over V8's....the cars are now too much like Nascar with so many shared components and too many petty rules and regs for anybody to use their ingenuity to build a better mousetrap.

The run up wasnt too bad ether mate....except for the lancer that is..... Sorry I had to leave early guys....was good to see you all again

Got it...but Ive always met up at the BP/ KFC Albion Park servo because its got that big carpark out back.... But no biggy....we'll find ya's.....

By all means....I was actually thinking of asking a couple of the guys from South Coast Commodores if they wanted to get together as well... Since this appears to be more of an impromtu get-together rather than an organised XR6 cruise.....do we have any idea how many may turn up?

Well...if somebody wants to bring the guys from Campbelltown down through Douglas Park...heres the directions ok.... Meeting at 7.30pm in the carpark on Waterworth Drive and Narellan Rd, Mount Annan for an 8.00pm leave. Leaving the carpark, from Waterworth Drive, we turn right onto Narellan Rd. At 3kms, turn right into Gilchrist Drive, through the town centre and right onto Geary’s Rd. then left onto Menangle Rd. At 11kms, turn left onto Camden Rd. At 10kms. Turn left onto Douglas Park Rd. At 6.5kms. turn right onto Wilton Rd. then left onto Macarthur Drive. At 4kms, turn left onto Picton Rd, At 16kms turn right onto Mount Keira Rd. and follow for 9kms down the mountain to Woolongong. When you get to the bottom of Mt. Keira Road...just turn left and come through the main drag and over the bridge to Fairy Meadow maccas.... and if anybodys interested, I'll be leaving from Caltex Heathcote about 8.00pm ok.... And dont forget your radios guys.....

Yeah ok...I'll suck in.... Unless Angel3 comes along....then he can lead...there's no substitute for cubic inches up the pass man...

Ok...if you guys are leaving Mt. Annan at 8.00pm, that's gonna put you at Maccas Fairy Meadow by around 8.40 or so.... So why not the rest of us meet up there at 9.00pm?.... We can head down to Kiama, then in through Jamberoo Rd, Albion Park and up the Pass?..... What do you reckon?....

Im pissed as that I wont get there now...Mrs busted the radiator in her car and Ive only just gotten back from picking it up covered in crap... serves me right for trying to organise something with only 24 hrs notice..... Matt....spoke with Chris tonight.....he's stoked mate....

Yeah Matt....a friend of mine has come down from out west to buy a silver BF from someone on here and wanted to meet some of the Sydney guys.... Might even go for a bit of a squirt somewhere, so bring your radios guys.... Look forward to catching up Jaimie.....

Anybody up for a meet, greet general hangout at Harrys Liverpool tomorrow night?....

Damn....Id love to be in it...but until I get this noisy turbo repaired, I gotta' lie low for a while

Years ago I got a job in the workshop of a Sydney motor dealer.... Theres this other guy working there who thought he was God's gift to mechanics ( you know the type).... We never got on because he was just a tool and I tend to say what I think so we didn't hit it off too well to start with... Three weeks into my probationary period, we're in the changeroom and he accuses me of stealing his wallet?? I'm telling him I don't know anything about it....things get heated and he pushes me so I smacked him in the mouth.... The other guys separate us and the manager comes in to see what the fracas is all about....calls me to his office and says if I don't give it back he's gonna' call the cops!!...WTF!! After I offer to call them for him, he backs down and just tells me to give the tool a wide berth......yeah right... A week later he calls me in again and tells me there gonna' have to let me go because of the friction in the workshop...that's it....I tell him what to do with his job,packed up my tools up and left. Two months later the manager calls me and tells me that while converting the changeroom to store spare parts, they moved the lockers and you'll never guess what they found underneath.....the tool's wallet with his money intact right where he must have kicked it while getting changed!! The only positive out of the whole story was the fact that the manager had enough guts to ring me and apologise.... Stuff em'...I didn't really want to work there anyway.

Quote from a friend of mine...... I had started a new job about a week before this happened. I was walking down the hallway after working late, with my leather jacket slung over my shoulder, and I was pretty tired. My Harley was outside in the parking lot but visable from the hallway. A guy walks up to me and says, "so you're the biker." I said, "my bike is out there." There was a Jap knockoff of a Harley parked next to my bike. The guy asks, "What's that piece of sh*t parked next to you." I told him, "I don't really know anything about Jap bikes." Then he proceeds to tell me that it was his Kawasaki, that it cost less than $10,000, and I was stupid to ride a Harley because most people couldn't tell the difference between his bike and a Harley. I told him, "Well you can go downtown and find something that looks a lot like a woman. That's good enough for some guys, me, I gotta have the real thing." That guy never spoke to me again. Thin skinned I guess. Nuff said.....

....

This isn't an option either..... If you go and apply for a licence in another state....that mean's you would have to make a false statement in order to get it.... If you get picked up and they check, which they almost always do, that's big trouble right there...

I give up?.... Mines got an Earls filter deal on it and oil is 5W50 Nulon every 5000kms..... Only started hearing the noise in the last 5000 ks or so...never was noticable before If I remove the turbo myself..... Can you tell me whereabouts in Sydney can I get this done?.....thanks.

Mines starting to get a bit noisy at shutdown as well..... The wheel isnt hitting the housing but it is whiring for about 20 secs or so when you shut down... The car now has 110kms on it running 12lb boost. Should I be thinking about getting it rebuilt?

Do a search mate....there's no end of threads on tyres here..... Main factors being....price vs grip vs wear.....

These sort of stories give me cause for concern too...... Mine is a Mk1 BF with the little conrods....it's this exact reason that I have stopped modding it.

You could always try Queensland Transport......

Yeah, why not.....I'll throw a rag over the old girl and be there.... Be great to catch up guys.....
