As a very general comment - I personally don't like going to the Parra Rd dealers. I find them quite full on - they all seem to be pressuring you for the sale the moment you walk on the yard. Based on my own experience, my recommendation would always be Powerplay (Victoria Rd, Drummoyne). Their cars are always of the best quality, there's no pressure to buy, if you're serious they'll take you for a decent test drive, and they look after their customers after the sale. Kel

I'll be there- D won't as he's decided to p*ss off and join SAU Vic.

Top driver or not, I don't think Courtney will be getting a start in another AUS enduro any time soon - there's no excuse for fcking it up by trying to hard that early on in a 6 hour race. Plus he deprived us of the chance to see Jimmy on the track! I would have liked to see Lowndes win (yep, I'm a secret Ford Fan from way back). The first mistake was his fault, but the tyre through the windscreen was the worst bit of bad luck I've seen since Jimmy's visit from Skippy last Bathurst! Also nice to see Ambrose come unstuck - I used to be a fan but his arrogance this year has been astounding! Murphy's not much further up that food chain, so I guess it couldn't have happened to two more deserving blokes! Kel

For a different water/bridge backdrop, you could try The Esplanade, near Russel Park, at the back of Drummoyne. There's parking along the edge of the water. You might need to get there early to avoid lots of walkers/dogs/kids in your shots. If you're really keen, you're almost always guaranteed a spectacular sunrise from this spot.

Mine gets washed at a Car Wash cafe every few weeks, while I sit and have a coffee and watch Beats trying to do it with a bucket or trying to dodge the Sydney Water Police.

Great results all round and good to see so many GTRs on the track! Congrats

So are we going to organise a spot to meet up?

Teh GTR is out so I'm out

Sweet - I'll check if I can get the time off today and call.....

I am keen if I can score some time off work.

I thought he was pissed when he got in- this thread now has me convinced. I hope he didn't embaress SAU (too much) tonight......

KEL CLEARS THROAT..... **YOUR 350z** And I am still debating the one kill

I like that shot too, since my yellow GTR is out in front - by miles! Thanks John

Heh heh- teh angry zed made it into a background shot too....

So suggestions for next months dinner? How about a Middle side. Or maybe even a South side?

WOOPS sorry- last time I rely on notres written over a beer at an SAU exec meeting It is on the SUNDAY 4 December. Kel edits post.....

Just letting everyone know now so there are no excuses later!!! Save the day- Sunday December 11 2005 - for the best SAU NSW Christmas Party yet. And remember, if haven't been a good boy or girl, no GTR from Santa this year. But the party will be FREE (yep, you read right, FREE) for SAU NSW Club Members. $15 for non-members to come along.

No vids unfortunately - next time gadget.

1/ Duncan's not a bloody idiot- he doesn't drink and drive. Neil on the other hand may have needed some courage for the trip home having seen Duncan's "driving skills" in action over the course of the weekend. Though a drink could have been in order when Team Curseworx made another appearance on the way home. The trailer lost a wheel near Sutton Forrest - the poor thing has never been the same since that time Pete borrowed it for some reason 2/ No conclusions to be jumped to on the source of the engine noise until we pull it apart (again!). Pete's offer to work for beer though is sounding like a good price at the moment. 3/ We had a bloody top weekend despite all of this!! Duncan is driving really well, the car is coming together nicely and there's nothing finer than a 1-2 Skyline finish.

I can taste the fish & chips already.....

I'll be in one of the corporate tents drinking champagne at the end of the race! PM me if you want to catch up. Kel

I'm in & mixing it up is good. Gotta remember we don't all live on the Northside

Do any of you kids know how to post in a thread WITHOUT whoring in it????!!!!!

We've covered ours in clear contact- works just as well and is allowed by CAMs.

In Dori Princess' defence, there have been occasions in the past where some blokes have behaved in a way which suggests SAU/ people associated with the club do not treat female owners/ enthusiasts the same way they do blokes. Case in point- one of my first SAU events, one guy went around the circle of people there, shook hands, introduced himself, got to me, gave me a quick glance without saying a word, and moved on to the bloke standing next to me. You can imagine how welcome that made me feel! Before everyone jumps down my throat, I'll stress it's a very small MINORITY, but still there. Plus some of the general comments thrown around the forum, like the (yawn) chick driving a Skyline- her bloke must have lost his licence line, along with the "would you hit this chick" threads do not necessarily set a good impression, particularly if you don't know the people involved.
