Not very happy Jan!!! I got informed today that Im required to officiate and report on the Full Throttle meeting at WSID this Friday......well that just stuffs that idea then..... I was really looking forward to this run.... Sorry I cant make it guys, would have loved to have caught up with everyone.... Hope you have a great night and thanks to Rob for organising it... Ill be sooo bummed if it rains at WSID on Friday and they can it......

And one more Rob..... My daughter is bringing her XR6 ute as well.....will meet us at the lighthouse....

Bring her anyway... I was just going to come on my own but my wife said she'd love to go too so Im bringing my missus and 18 yr old daughter as well so at least she'd have someone to talk too.....

Come on Rob..make up your mind mate Heathcote maccas is only small and its a real pain to get in and out of.....would have thought Sylvania would be easier is all..... I wasnt suggesting we meet at Audley turnoff....just that some may want to go that way and meet up further along the route that's all.... Ernie...that BBQs a great idea Im sure everybody wouldnt mind chipping in a couple of bucks to cover the cost....but, as Senna said...make sure the buggers tied down securely in the ute ok.... Really looking forward to this......

Hey Rob, would it be ok for those of us who chose ,to leave the cruise at Audley turnoff and wait for the rest of you at Waterfall weir or Stanwell tops? Oh, and those who have them...dont forget to bring your CB's ok....

Just me and you so far Robbo...

This XR8 belongs to one of my friends who has serviced my cars for the last few years, Its the real deal, underbonnet Vortex blower, intercooler system and a bucketload of other mods, it not only goes like stink in a straight line, but handles and stops just as well. He built it for circuit work..... Remember when he first got it new, after he only had 1400kms on it when out came engine , gearbox and entire rear end....I dont think theres much he hasnt stripped, checked,modified or replaced with something tougher.....for a "street" car...its a very impressive package.

Sorry guys....thought "someone" might have gotten a laugh out of it......

Made into an even bigger headache because good ol' George W.. decides he wants to lob two days early.... Theres no getting away from it either....despite what you think...its a necessary evil, 22 countries get together with the grand poobah (the afore mentioned) and yack on about important stuff like trade...you know...the stuff that makes our economy go round.... They hold it in a different country each time...just has to be our bloody turn... Watkins moaned about when it was announced, as he should have, then Johnny told Morris to slap him up the side of the head...nows hes all positive about it,,,haha What I want to know is why couldnt they have it at Port Douglas or somewhere like that.....plenty of accom, good communication and easy to secure....and OUT of Sydney...

Jesssus...come a long way since fluffy dice havent we....... With what that would have cost I could have redecorated the inside of my house

Sorry to hear about your clutch dude, But with a little notice I'll always be up for a night cruise...... Did'nt I see your no. plate in Taren Point last week?

Thanks mate.

As the title says, why is it that a lot of turbos have supply lines that are only about 3-5 mm ID.( Ive even seen some with restrictors sleeved down to about 2 mmID.) and yet the drainback tubes all seem to be in the 14-19mm area. Whilst I realise that a ball bearing turbo really only needs a steady stream(not bucketloads) why does the drainback have to be so big?

My biggest wet weather stuffup.... Its about 2.00am, Henry Lawson Drive,had driven down from Scone, bloody tired, raining, just want to get home, 70' Falcon GT with 9in wide Mickey Thompsons on the back, too much power, hit a stream of water running across the road and away she went..... Spins out and turns around, backwards over the median strip and down the opposite side of the road, drivers door is heading straight for a telegraph pole, no point trying to brake so I just floored the accelerator, breaks traction again and pirrouettes neatly around the pole( more ass than class, couldnt do it again for a million bucks), spins up over the gutter, through a picket fence and straight into a public kids playground, missed the slippery dip and parked it in reverse right between a set of swings ...... The damage bill. Whole right side exhaust system,2 bent wheel rims,2 tyres,one snapped rear spring,front sway bar,right hand lower control arm and right hand rear tailight lens (on the swing) Lessons learnt...... Dont gas it in the wet with 400 odd HP and Detroit locking LSD.... Dont drive when your too tired.....

Yeah, I know where you mean Sly, but this happened further up the hill..... Often let my car have a leg stretch up Ousley or Bulli Pass late at night...guess that's what boredom does to you

Im coming up Mt. Ousley about 11.30pm last night, doing about 100ks round this righthand sweeper in the lane next to the dividing wall when this dude coming down the hill on the other side into what would be a tighter lefthand bend just over cooks it and belts the wall right beside me........man, talk about a wakeup call .....didnt even see him coming....then, just out of the blue... "BANG"...sounded like a shotgun going off.....then the sparks, could still see em' in the mirror after he went past... Talk about myself......

And if your after a truckie size feed.....try the Central Cafe in the main street of Queanbeyan.... Last time I ate there......swear I almost had to carry my stomach to the car..... The schnitzels are the size of a dinner plate....

Who's getting serious.??.....just correcting Para on a couple of things is all, no offence mean't

Blocks are SVO or GM Performance....not factory Gearboxes are all Holliger......not factory Bodyshells......stock to start with, then sent to the bodybuilders to be fitted out with roll cages,chassis connectors and all sorts of barwork.....in short, it's like kangaroos and mice........they are related, but it was a long time ago.

Err, sorry.....the link only refers to wether people would rather change formula of V8 Slotcars with a poll to get their thoughts......nothing to do with Darwin or what I was talking about. Me thinks it's better here...

Allright, you asked for it...... Bignose is as cunning as a rat,....... he serves up young Winterbottom at turn one after the stop, on the right rear mind you....just enough to take the edge off the aero at the back of the car and not turn him around, comes together with him again and gets past, thinks to himself that Wallyman might not see funny side so he lets Winterbottom past to redress, knowing that he can easily catch and pass him again cause hes already crippled the Ford drivers car ......you can add this to the giant economy size electromagnets that GM as had secretly built into the tyre walls One thing I was pleased to see was a few people saying what they really thought for a change, I read that V8SCA has been reviewing its rules on what exactly "brings the sport into disrepute". We saw drivers actually getting animated and stuck into one another for whatever reason, then the Handbag has a grizzle about the safety car deal and has a shot at the people up in the tower....... Now normally you'd be paying a pretty big dollar figure for coming out with that on TV....I'll be very interested to see if he gets penalised for it.

God, it just gets worse......7 fatalities now

Queensland racer Troy Critchley, now based in Texas,was involved in a fatal crash in Tennessee yesterday. While performing a burnout routine to aid a children's charity Troy's car went out of control and into the crowd Our hearts go out to all involved. http://www.wmcstations.com/Global/story.asp?S=6668755
