Haha Fryer you scared he sh*t outa my girlfriend. It was so funny haha. I was going to follow you, but I was late to pick up a friend. Your car looks like such a sleeper as well!

I've also see a yellow'y greeny (I think its called Toxic?) car going around. Its a BA or BF with no spoiler and the V8 bubble. It looks meeeeeeean!

Im pretty terrible with availability haha (im a shift worker).

Im free so far in April :P

Bullet! I did! Haha I saw the car so purposely parked next to you haha.

You'll spot me out there quite often now :) I got roped into joining the gym there haha.

I'm keen for a brodburger. Heard they're amazing!

Yeah was awesome to finally see you around lol, gave your car a good look over :)

Brodberger is super awesome!

I think I've seen the toxic one getting around, I think I've even passed him the opposite way in Ngunnawal.

Lol we're having trouble all lining up our availability.

Yeah, I was just dropping a mate off in Evatt and thought I would give it a boost.

The XR will be even more sleepy in a couple of weeks when I put some FG Honeycomb rims on it. (The missus is currently driving it a bit and I fear she will curb the 20's)

I too have seen the Toxic XR8 sans spoilers, was coming off Eastern Valley Way in Belco the other day. It did have a nice exhaust note to it.

I also spotted a blue Rodeo with YLD-40L plates. From memory they used to be on a Mercury BA Turbs.

I'm pretty sure it lives around the Latham area (or there's one like it there) because I've seen it a couple times. I think I saw it in a video on YouTube at a skid pan day. (the toxic xr8)

I really don't like the honey comb rims :/ I just don't think they suit the fgs.

But to save your 20's then do it haha. I let my jum drive my car once. I now have a small gutter rash -.-

I originally bought the Honeycombs to use for the drags, but now I am waiting until I upgrade the tailshaft. So, I'm thinking of stripping the ET Streets and fitting some Achilles for street duties. Dunno how they are gonna look on the BF, but I'd rather the car look fugly than have to spend coin fixing damaged Vertinis.

With regard to your rash - Craig and co. at Wicked Wheels in Q-town do an awesome job at repairs.

Well feel free to organise something between yourselves in the next week or 2 and then we can do something again when I get back, or at least with whoever's free?

Sorry Fryer but not a fan of Craig's work at all. I gutter rashed one of my vertini's like a week after they went on (yes it was my fault not the mrs lol) and took it too him, took ages to do it and only just got rid of the rash but can still see all the dents in the wheel from the gutter. For what I paid and the effort to go out to qbn for me I could have just got any machinist to take the wheels back a little bit and then just polish the stainless back up or even could have sanded back the rash with sand paper and polished up myself. I didn't do either of these things because I figured that's what he does for a living so leave it to the experts. Next time I'll try a different option

Bellato, I am surprised and sorry to hear of your experience. Things must have changed? I had some work done about two years ago, they had the (3) rims for a week and they came back looking brand new. (Polished and all)

Brodburger meet/cruise - given we all lead busy lives and waiting for every single one of us to be available at the same time, being like waiting for the planets to align. How about, if we get at least four member/cars to commit to Sat'day, 23 Feb. we go ahead?

Yea Fryer it sucked! Craig is the only one working there too so maybe there isn't much of a market for wheel repairs so he's gone solo

Sat 23rd sounds good to me! Definitely wanna do something with mcinnes at some point to discuss FG mods and Gentech. But also good to get fryer's personal experience with ESP
