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.

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]

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • 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 .
