Hey Champ. This post should be posted in the spotted thread located here

I am happy you got it back. I hope your insurance will cover what was taken. Don't be surprised about the Police not contacting you sooner, you were lucky. A car of mine was stolen a few years back and the PoPo found it 3 days later. I didn't get a call. 3 months later I woke up and thought that I had better contact the Police just to check and wouldn't you know, they found it. Popo: "We contacted you to advise you that the car had been found" Me: " no you didn't, I gave you my home number, mobile number and my mum's home number all of which have message bank, no messaged and no missed calls on any of those phones" Popo: "Your car is here and ready for collection, goodbye" Cost me thousands in holding yard fees on account of the Police.

I am interested in buying the whole car. Please PM me with your suburb and contact number and times that you are available so I can come over and inspect. Cheers, Ben.

Have you sold off anything from the car since your initial post on the Silvia forums?

If the car is insured then I hope the car is stripped enough or damaged enough to be called a writeoff. Nothing worse then getting a badly damaged car back because after insurance have fixed it you almost always have problems with it.

you need an option for those people who download their TV shows in HD from overseas without commercials. When I do watch TV it is the channel 9 morning news show and that is purely because they have the weather and the time on the screen.

Spotted a blue 32 GTS-T on Old Cleveland Road at Coorparoo this arvo, waved and got a wave back. Good to see a female driving a Skyline, I don't see it nearly enough. Also spotted a Gun Metal Grey 32 GTS-T on Hale St heading towards city this arvo. No chance to be able to wave to you though. Licence plates ended in IZJ.

Hey Mate, I think that was me. I thought I saw a movement in your arm as I passed you. Nice ride.

Everyone round to Troy's place for Pizza!!

number removed. Hey Troy.

I have 2 Karen. Please SMS me and I will arrange to get them to you tonight.

Guys I understand that people will have good and bad experiences with any workshop/company who supply any service for that matter, but please keep in mind the forum rules before passing comment. If in doubt, contact a moderator before you post. I'm not saying that you can only post good comments/stories, but please just think about what you're typing before you hit Submit and keep your comments civil and factual. Badmouthing or slandering a business, regardless of how valid you feel your complaint is, is strictly against the rules and could earn you a warning and/or a ban. I realise this isn't ideal to anyone who may have suffered a bad experience with a business, but it is better than having SAU shut down by lawsuits. Cheers, Ben.

Hey Geoff, Congratualtions on the sale of the house. I look forward to meeting you and I hope you find a base of operations somewhere close to the CBD so that you can easily attend the regular dinners and other club events. It will be great to have another QLD club member onboard and you come highly rated in the knowledge ranks so expect everyone to hang on your every word 'joking'. Have fun on holidays and see you when you get here! Cheers, Ben.

Count me in! Anyone care to give me a ride to dinner? I always end up drinking at this place

Nice price from Mercury! I don't see how you can beat that deal. PS. if anyone gets a tough single from Jim Berry can you please let me have a small drive even if it means just in a car park. I would like to know first hand how they feel. I have only driven lines with stock or double/triple Jap clutches in them so I have no basis for a complete comparison.

On the Gateway Motorway Northbound between MtGravatt onramp and the Gateway Bridge itself, it is advisable to stick to the left hand lane as there are a number of large potholes in the right hand lane which could cause damage particularly at night if you don't see them coming. Cheers, Ben.

got more problems with it? How did the clutch change go?

Its not great, but for $8 who can complain! You definately get your money's worth.

I have considered offering him that service. Back on topic though. Ian, if you have the $ then get a OS Giken triple plate or double plate. Just make sure that if you plan on upgrading power in the near future that you get a clutch that will cope with your power output. I think the doubles handle 600ish and the triples can do up to 850hp.

congrats

It wouldn't be the first time Mike, don't sweat it.

sms me if you go Andy. I will try to make it along too.

Still keen on the steering wheel. Let us know if your still keen to sell it.

I don't know how true it is but here goes, correct me if I am wrong. I was informed the Police will soon be using a system which you will not be able to listen in on, well it will be garbled to your ear. Might be worth researching that before purchasing a scanner which is often more expensive then a basic CB/UHF.

count me in for dinner.
