WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Im in!!!!!

This place is the bomb!!!! $10 steak, choose you cut and cook yourself! Plus copious amounts of beer, and all within 2 mins of my place!!!

All said, everytime it is here, we get a huge turnout, normally 10+, i think a few months ago it was about 20+

yeah i think we need to start looking at some different places. the whole thing of the monthly dinners was we used to try lots of different establishments in different areas.

You just dont want to be hit up for beers! :D

Yeah, i think at this dinner, the people who attend should pick next months destination, and keep using that rule from now on. But to avoid having another turnout like last month i thought here would be ok

meh. the dinners have gone down hill a bit sadly maybe that's why i'm being a weener and moaning.

12 months or more ago and the dinners were great. always a good turnout. we had lots of people suggesting good places. always a few beers. most of the old crew have stopped going and now not many people show up.

still i will probably come. i'll do like most people do these days and say that i'm coming, but reserve the right to not show at the last minute :D :D

haha, i am a bitching old prick.

Yeah I agree :D

The whole "lets try different places" thing has gone down the drain. I could have sworn that we were at Great Northern not 2-3 months ago. Everytime we can't decide where to go, we always seem to just revert back to Great Northern or Orchid Thai. WHERE'S THE SENSE OF ADVENTURE??? They're both great venues, but I would prefer to try somewhere new each month.

Having said that, none of us have gotten up off our asses to organise anything different, so props to Steve for keeping this monthly dinner tradition alive :D

Yeah i agree with everyone... variety would be great but it has done a little down hill lately with attendance.....

These regular places, as already seen, always gets the #'s together..... :D

As for Joy's well i do believe she offered herself for a seafood buffet..................... :D

The reason a few of us have gone a little off the monthly dinners is the number of people that regularly say they are "in" but never show up. Anyone that doesnt intend to come along, shouldnt post in the thread.

And echoing Merli's post, good work to you Steve for starting the thread :D

As a side idea, we havent done Mexican or Teppanyaki for a while :D

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
