Lol, their AWD would be quite helpful on some of those corners. What model BMW do you have if you don't mind me asking?

This is certainly one such road. I'm keen to get some new suspension and brakes next. While the FG's standard handling is acceptable with decent tyres, it's still too soft for my liking. I know I could take some of those turns much quicker with a stiffer setup. I was initially looking at getting Bilsteins with King Springs but people have been saying Shockworks is the go, so I'll have to look into that.

Yeah that's one of the prerequisites for me as I don't want a lot of power if I can't make use of it. It's mainly going to be a street car with the occasional track day.

It's quite an enjoyable road with a bit of everything. I haven't done the entire length of it yet but judging from google maps it looks the goods. Seems to be more twisties towards Singleton way. So there's a BMW cruise happening? I know there is a Skyline cruise on that date as well on Putty Rd.

Think in the 300's will do me. Mate wants over 400 so it should be interesting to see how they compare when everything is done.

Damn, that kind of makes me reluctant to venture towards that end of the spectrum. I would imagine having that amount of power would be awesome on a race track though. Right now my car is completely stock with 275's on the rear and it still breaks a bit of traction but getting to 100 is generally fine.

Fair point. Should be interesting to see how it performs after some big money.

What kind of 0-100 times can be expected from a worked FG XR6T? A stock F6 does it in 4.9 apparently. I'm under the impression that even with heaps of mods you'd struggle to get traction getting up to 100km.

Any members on here in the western suburbs, particularly near Blacktown area? More to the point, would any of you be keen on a Putty Rd cruise sometime? I'm in Kings Langley driving a black FG XR6T sedan with gold stripes. Seen a few others in the area but so far I've only met one F6 owner who I catch up with every now and then. We have both been on Putty Rd recently and enjoyed it, although we did not venture all the way to the end but are keen to do so. If you're interested in this let me know.

This thread requires a picture, so I'll just leave this here

Well I've been putting it off for a while. I initially wanted to quit riding a couple of years ago after selling my old bike. I had hit a brick wall at the time and was not really progressing anymore, having sustained a big wrist injury which required surgery. I ended up buying a new bike hoping it would be the key to getting back into it and I did so for a couple more years, but riding now is more of a chore rather than recreation. Having said that, I've gotten more into cars now and that's going to be my focus. Even if I do sell my bike, I'm still proud of what I've managed to accomplish, being someone who came from no prior bike experience and jumping straight into the deep end by taking on the most difficult and dangerous discipline. Most of the people I met through riding were all naturals, either coming from BMX or motocross backgrounds, so trying to keep up with them was a challenge indeed. I had to work pretty hard to get to where I got to, and it was no where near the level I wanted to be at but eventually I became content with just riding for fun. The trip to Thredbo really reaffirmed my feelings towards the sport as I did not really enjoy it. The Snowy Mountains cruise on the other hand was great fun. I'm hoping to attend as many cruises as I can and do some track days at Eastern Creek next year.

Haha, well I may or may not be selling it. This trip to Thredbo was meant to be my last as I've been contemplating on quitting the sport. Just don't have the time or drive anymore.

No worries. I was under that impression so good thing I confirmed first. I'll PM you the links then.

I've got all the footage uploaded in two parts. Do you guys want me to post the link?

Haha nah we can't touch that

Cheers, I just wish I had mounted the camera inside the car with the windows up. I'll know to do that for next time though. Also lost some quality cutting that footage and saving it as avi then uploading to youtube, but what can you do. Keen to see how yours turned out.

Some footage with the convoy. Sorry about the wind noise, camera was mounted outside. Will upload the entirety of the video when I have time.

I'm tempted to use the ol "business ain't good right now therefore I can't afford it" excuse lol

Just a relaxed drive down to meet the rest of the group at Khancoban. That double apex was pretty cool.

Haha, damn!

"Guess who's back, back again"

Been a member now for close to 6 months, had a few ups and downs on the forum and realise that some of the things I said were out of line, whether they were taken seriously or not. I just got back from a cruise with some of the members on here and I must say it was an absolute blast. Everyone was quite friendly and I'm grateful to be apart of a community that share a passion for these vehicles. For the others on the forum who I may have upset with some of my comments, who I haven't met and who I probably will never meet due to location, I apologise for anything that was actually taken to heart. I'm sure you are all genuine down to earth people like the group I met up with. I hope we can move on and forget about that particular thread, which again was merely nothing more than a time killer for me. Who knows, perhaps some of you also got some laughs out of it. Anyway, hope everyone has a good one! *Buys everyone a round of beers*

What a cruise! Can't say I've had that much fun behind the wheel before. Will definitely have to do it again next year and the whole thing. Hopefully get my mate to tag along with his F6. Cheers guys!!

You know what? This is getting old now. I've expended my laughs from you clowns. Let us call this checkmate. I'm happy to know that I'm the first person who actually got under your skins and made some tempers fly. Now as a last request, how do I go about deleting my account? Here is a parting gift. You all know who you are in the video Peace!!

Well I offered. Any of you other guys want to go out on a date? Nothing gay, just spending the day doing intimate sh*t with our cars. Maybe a bit of hand holding depending on the mood.
