Heres a little bit of information about the cars. http://www.vhrr.com/Porsche%20Museum%20Car...Media%20Release I'm really looking forward to the Phillip Island Classic. It should be a great weekend.

If I can get out of bed early enough i'll come. Don't wait around if I'm not at the meet point on time.

Last year they started forcing people to do driver training first if they hadn't done any track days. I assume this year will be the same. It should be in the supp regs or entry form somewhere.

Since GSM operates in 900 MHz & 1800 MHz bands using a maximum power of 2 watt for 900MHz and 1 watt for 1800Mhz, and Microwave ovens usually operate around 2.45GHz and generate around 700 watts i don't think you'll cook much with a phone.

Looks more like 111 points. You've easily got the win. Are the points done differently to the previous rounds. In previous rounds high points was good i think.

Thanks to the organisers and officials. As usual i had a great time. I think the skidpan courses were some of the best we have done so far. Here are some videos of the skidpan from Pete's roof. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MARqjXoi8n0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F4i10f6Hw8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjMcWv7fjfI

I'll be going up in the morning. I'm in Glenroy, so its pretty easy for me to get straight onto the Hume, but i'm interested to see this back way you always go. How far out of my way will it be to go the back way. Where is the best place to meet and how early are you going. I think Roy is going up in the morning as well.

Whats the part number? What car is it to suit?

Insurance shouldn't care where its registered, but you should give them the correct garaged address. I don't know what it will be like with WA rego, but with NSW rego you can get the renewals sent to a Victorian address, so you don't even need a residential address out of Victoria.

I was looking for a PocketPC version when i found that. Unfortunately i never found anything useful for pocketpc. I've been planning to write something for pocketpc but I'm too lazy. I'll let you know if i ever give it a try.

I'll take them if you don't mind sending them to Melbourne.

Isn't there a Maserati day at Sandown on Sunday.

I might come down for a look. Any discount for spectators.

If you've got a palm pda sitting around you could give this a try. http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Business...mer-12090.shtml

Forget my previous post. They should fit fine but be very careful with anything wider than 235 on the front.

They will probably fit but i think you'll need narrow tyres on the front or you'll have clearance problems on the inside. Take a look at this thread for some pics of clearance issues with 17x8 +35 rims and 235/45 RE540s. 8.5 +35s should have 6mm less clearance so you'll have less room to play with than me. Narrow tyres should get you a bit more room.

Gareth, have you got any spare LH doors? condition doesn't matter, i'm just after the lock.

You guys must have a heavy right foot. I've occasionally had around 600km a tank for highway driving. Around town should easily be 400+.

Does driver training count towards the championship? I just noticed Nick had points for Sandown and i think he was doing DT. If DT counts I might do a couple rounds and see if i can learn to drive.

Your thinking of this one.

Where are you?

They should have 11mm less clearance than my enkeis (which have no clearance) so i think you'll need spacers.

No, sell me the front lip. If you find out were the front lip came from let me know. I'd take a close look at the front end for crash damage, thats not a type m front bar. My car is a type m and doesn't have any of the type m body kit so i think there might have been a factory option to get the normal bar, but if youve got the controls for the electronic front spoiler i'd say the bar has been changed. It looks very tidy and looks good with that front bar, so maybe the previous owner just changed it cause it looked good.

That is the dumbest thing i've every read. You say education won't help because stupidity is to blame, but wouldn't education be the best solution for stupidity. I don't know what the rules are like in VIC for getting a license, but back in 2000 when i got my license in NSW i could get it at 17, no driving lessons were required (just needed to pass the test), i could drive whatever i could afford (no power limits) and i was only on my p's for 1 year. I know things have changed a bit over the years, but why are people given a license for proving they can reverse park and do a three point turn. Education will not stop all accidents but could do a lot more to make people understand the dangers of driving and understand how to control a car, it still comes down to the drivers decisions but i believe if young drivers were better educated they wouldn't make the same stupid decisions.
