Three cheers for Tosh !!!

Was a great time guys, glad to see there were no casualties (considering the truck incident) ....

Good to see some old faces I knew and new faces I didn't. Thanks to all who made it a great event and especially to the lovely ladies who donated their leftovers to the "Food for Jim" campain :) You know who you are :)

Sorry to Tony and the guys we lost on the way back home, seems radio communication was down when the little trip past the servo happened at Tuggerah.

Looking forward to the next gathering :)

Helllooo all!!!

I had a great day today!!! It was good to finally put some faces to names :)

I'm in on the three cheer to Tosh! apart from the route (the extra drive was still fun ;) ) everything was really well organised...I'm already looking forward to the next event!!

And where is that video!!! I know my butt featured alot :D

Yup was a pretty cool cruise.

I left home at 7:10am and didnt get home till about 6:30pm and in that time covered 536km (new record on a full tank of fuel - previous was 512km to Canberra n back). The funny thing is if i drove the exact same roads again and stuck to the speed limt i coulda easily got 590-600km.

The stretch of road from Thornleigh to Woy-Woy was wicked. Full tank of fuel, 4 bodies in the car and on 7psi i was still hauling ass up the Pacific Hwy and braking was good (no fading). I think that is the hardest I have driven my car over a short period of time and it felt absolutely no different from when we left thornleigh to when we arrived at Woy-Woy.

I brought some different travelling friends today (last time I do that) and they were getting mega bored whilst trying to find the Amanda's turn-off and seeing as though we weren't eating there we decided to stop off and grab some tucka before heading home.

Great Cruise Tosh well done.

I think I had the latest arrival back....got home about 8.30 :D Had to stop a few wineries and the cheese factory after lunch, then back down Putty Rd with a couple of other stayers!

Great turn out, well done RONIN.

Thanks guys ;)

hope to do it again soon :)

The video footage is good :)

Mona: Amanda told me that the turn off from the New England Highway was called Branxton Road. :D Not my fault she was wrong and gave us incorrect directions :)

With a butt that size, it's a bit hard to film without having half the frame taken up by your buttcheeks eek.gif

Hey guys, it was good to meet all of you, sorry I didn't put too many names to faces but sure to next time.

Tosh, sorry about lunch as well, I was in a simliar boat as to Lozza150, needed to get 2 cars registered, but for sure next time.

great work and had a great time, I'm looking forward to the next one.

ciao.

Hahahahaha....true true....but then i think tex just had a fascination with them....he kept getting carlo to follow me around...and then there were the sleazy attempts at picking me up..... :bahaha:

Ronin,

Cheers mate for a pretty well organised cruise in the end... so yeah we did a bit of extra site seeing... but hey, I've organised a few cruises and they don't always go exactly to plan. But we made it to everywhere on time and had some laughs along they way!

Good job mate... even if you did leave Duncan, the bloke in the pulsar (sorry forgot your name) and I behind at the begining!

I had a great time coming back down the putty road to get home... I'll have to get to organising a cruise up there in the nearish future.

Good to meet those that I hadn't met before and also to see some faces that I had seen before. (I was the bloke in the gunmetal sky with the SAU forms for anyone trying to work out who I am)

Look forward to the next one.

Sorry, I did it when we were waiting for all to finish refulling at gosford... and totally forgot about it when we got to amanda's... I can email it to you if you like? [email protected]

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
