Michele

oh damn... I didn't think of that I'll post some photos when I get a chance, even if I am hijacking threads again

woohoo

hmmm me thinks your puters playing silly bvggers on you, my avatar is still the hillclimb launch, well for the next week or so at least. Try refreshing, its pulling cached info. and... I thought we were the last at the markets, I looked around and couldn't find you in the crowd

Are you coming out Mick? I wish I had photos of you coming in the commonwhore

Yes, top 40 is pretty impressive. Well done!

If you'd invited me to your birthday I would have shown it to you *pout* LOL j/k It was a friends, he was drunk and didn't want to drive.

will you be here on Friday night? we meet up at the museum Friday nights. I was supposed to be in Qld picking up my new car, but someone is trying to talk me out of it (need a smiley on here that cries) so I might be there on Fri too. oh and goooo the 4 doors

I think a group shot in front of Parl house (if someone I know can arrange it *nudge nudge wink wink*) might be worth looking at before we finalise our decision. Then let Mick loose in photoshop with it.

ohh I forgot the bit where he said I must have been speeding because he couldn't keep up in his 280 something KW V8! WTF?? Edit: may have been the black smoke?

hehe you would love to get something on me, wouldn't you? Its a long story... but for those who weren't there, here we go. I was accused of doing something I didn't do (I know what you're thinking... they all say that?). I was pulled over for getting a 4x4 3.5 ton truck with huge nobby Mickey Thompsons "sideways" between Lonsdale St and Mort St lights (from a standstill) and for speeding. I politely told him that while I'll admit to accelerating and getting up to speed quickly, I didn't once break traction, or speed and there was no way I had the truck sideways. I told him I was watching my speedo closely and know I didn't get over the speed limit. I was stopped at the Lonsdale St lights and had to stop again at the Mort street lights... thats the length of the servo there, what 100m? You make your own judgment as to whether I could get the truck sideways in the dry with a heavy tray on it. Better still, ask Mang, Donnan, Mrs Donnan, SteadyEddy and Titan who all witnessed the so called fictitious event. If I did, then I must be a sh!t hot driver He would not back down and said he had RTA officials in the car who also witnessed me getting the truck sideways. He took my licence sat in the car for about 5 minutes to where I hopped out to avoid my vocal passenger from saying anything further to jeopardise my case and stood beside him while he and his RTA officials (who couldn't look me in the face for obvious reasons) checked licence, rego etc. He then he got out and said that he wouldn't give me a ticket if I admitted that I had the truck sideways and was speeding. I said that I simply could not admit to something I know I didn't do. I asked him if he had seen the tyres that were on the truck and questioned my ability to get the 4x4 sideways in the dry. He said he was upset about the black smoke that poured out of the truck when I took off to which I agreed it does do, but explained it is a diesel, he stood there for a few minutes telling me about how many Summernats he's done and then let me go. So I guess deep down he didn't feel right about pinning his false claims on me, especially since its been about 20 years since my last ticket. I was polite and respectful at all times, but inside was frustrated and fuming at how powerless we are when things like this happen. You can't argue or you get yourself deeper. Actually, the whole thing reminded me of a joke... Officer "Here's your ticket" Victim "you fu<kin low life dirty c#*t" Officer "you can't say that, I can arrest you for saying that" victim "oh" *pause* "then what if I think it?" Officer *long pause* "well then, I don't suppose I can do anything if you think it" victim "okay, then I think you're a fu<king low life dirty c#*t"

ACT is in the process of organising a Skyline vs Supra day which may extend to other clubs to make up the numbers. clicky clicky for Skyline vs Supra thread We are looking for approx 40 cars to break even on costs. We're looking for some interesting fun prize/trophy/certifcate ideas to make it interesting... see the ACT thread for more details. I'll keep you posted once we know what is happening.

FYI Mark was using a Canon 300D for our main night shoots and only purchased the 40D recently. Difference between the three cameras is really worth a look http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_po...0d&show=all

it was great

Thank you to John for organising, it was a great day, so many cars on show in the arena that I didn't feel the slightest bit worried about the car. FYI-Shannons told me that we are insured when we are at Summernats or any show n shine type event unless competing in go to whoa, burnouts, motokhanas etc. We went as a family with Thomas and Reece as our kids

They are still happening by the looks of it, but I'm not sure if its the same 'Wakie' licence.

7:30ish

yeah, were going, we didn't get to Nats today cos visitors were delayed but going tonight, might cruise in the F250

Hey I got my boost controller didn't I hehe

Cool, I'll bring some photos of my new car tonight

No, but heard so many good things about DECA last year that I was insanely jealous and plan to go this year. I'm guessing the Nationals will be similar?

Bestest $95 you will ever spend *nod nod* my accelerator foot is twitchin' now just thinking about it LOL

:laughing-smiley-014:

I can't help you with the parts, but would like to say welcome to the forums.
