Hey all...

Call me a nutcase because thats what i am... im working on thursday but flying down to melbourne at 3pm to pickup my mates VC Brock Commodore 1981, and drive it back for him thursday night arr in syd fri morning!... its been in the hands of some apparently "restorers" for about 14 months now and they havent touched it one bit, just assessed it! thats ALL..

pretty upsetting as they were meant to get rid of the rust and respray it (friends of family long story)

Anyways... im just wondering if i can give a semi shout out incase the SHIT hits the fan bigtime on thursday night.. i cant take any tools down as im flying, and a towie would be expensive back to syd...

So kinda wondering if any of you fine melbournians want to possibly lend a hand (only if the shit breaks down of course) in getting it going or providing a backup... Im very mechanical minded so there wont be any probs, and the car has been driven and started recently so it should be all good no worries... but im just asking for a backup backup if you get me...

Anyone interested or able can you drop us a PM with your number? it should be 95% no problems but just a backup backup like a spanner or wrench might save the day at 11pm on the highway! you get me?

Thanks all

Hope someone is good hearted out there:P

Hey guys, sorry just found out myself...

Picking the car up from South Melbourne.... Heading back usual Hume Highway...

So where ever the GPS takes me from South Melbourne to Sydney LOL

will prob have dinner in the city before i start the drive back!, i thought i was picking it up on the outskirts...

Hey mate.

I'll be on the hume too but I'll be behind you by a few hours. I'm leaving melbourne at about 10pm thursday night and driving up to falls creek (Turning off just before wangaratta). I'm going on a snowboarding/moto riding trip coming back saturday arvo. If you have any dramas and need tools etc give me a call on 0421332860.

5L and its had a supra 5speed conversion done to it....

Very cool

you'll be pleased to know that my crew going to the snow will be in a 6 cyl VC wagon and my 253 VH sedan. Plenty of Commodores. I considered the supra gearbox conversion but it was too much money. I hate the aussie 4 speeds. Worst gearboxs!

Its getting a new battery chucked into it today so it should start ok... this is my if the block falls out on the highway backup plan....

not 100% sure on the name of the workshop ill find out soon though...

mmmm year old oil... nice!

Hey Guys

thanks for the shout outs... lucky i didnt need to use them... car was in the condition we left it in 14 months ago (like exactly the same) needs an oil change though! it got us back.... disintegrated the rubber shock cover protector things doing 120 was making some weird noises but ripped them out good!.. otherwise hung with the truckies all night for an easy and efficent run... 3 tanks of petrol

shitloads of red bull

a steak before we left and a perve on some girlies in burwood did us well!

lots of cds

and pointless conversation + listening to truckies on cb radio

damn its an eaiser drive then i keep thinking

time for bed been up since 5 50am yesterday!

Night all! Untill Next Time!

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
    • This is going to be a mid week evening cruise. Come along and join us for a drive out to Palm Beach. This is a change of event plans after talking to some of the older members of the club. SAU NSW is planning on hitting Old Pac again shortly, stay tuned for details. When: Thursday 26th of June Time: 7:30pm meet/8:00pm departure/10:00pm finish Meet: Spit West Car Park / Spit Rd Mosman NSW 2088 Destination: Palm Beach Public Parking / 16 Ocean Rd Palm Beach NSW 2108 Up to date information as always can be found on the events page of our website, the link for this event is https://www.saunsw.com.au/events/palm-beach-cruise There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • Good time for a carbon roof  
    • Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
