Thank You And Goodbye

[Ska]

This is just my thanks to SAU.

When I bought my R33, I had no idea what a turbo was and how it worked, all I knew is that I now had one and it was cool. I did a search and found SDU, posted in the Austrlia section and got told to come over to SAu, which I promptly did. I was then educated on the many working bits of my beautiful piece of engineering. I cant thank enough all those people who took that stupid noob in and slapped some common sense and knowledge into me.

Over the next two years I would be helped out by lots of different people who are members here, both physically and financially. I wont even try to list everyone, because sure enough I'll miss someone, but you know who you all are!

To show just how nice people are on here, I was driving from Rockhampton to Brisbane, late friday night. I stop at Gin Gin, aka middle of no-where, and grab something to eat and go to put petrol in the car. Went to start it up, nothing, just turns over like a trooper. At this point in time I call up RACQ to see what they can help with, not much, he showed that there was power getting to the fuel pump, it was just not going. Now just having a 044 installed no less that 4weeks ago I was pissed, tired and frustrated. Here I was, middle of freakin no-where, stranded, now at 12 middnight.

So I take a chance, and wake up someone from here, a SAu member who I have never actually met before, but only chatted on msn and here with. He's unable to help me, but knows of someone who could. No here is the thing, he calls a mate, another SAU member, and he has never met me, but agree's to come out with a spare 044 and help me get going.

So after 3.5 hours of fault diagnosing the problem is found and the fuel pump re-wired. I offered this guy money, but all he wanted was something to eat and the petrol costs to come out. Then he tells me that I shouldnt press onto Brisbane, but come back to his place and have a sleep, and in the morning he would follow me to Gympie, (300kms away).

So this guy, who was driving 3 hours to gympie, came out to help a total stranger in the middle of the night.

I really want to express my utter thanks, once again to him. But also to everyone who has helped me like that over the years, like when John helped me limp back home after the island incident, or when Mike towed my car back from QLD raceway, for nothing but the petrol costs, or when Marc has helped me out.

I have now sold my stagea, and now gone back to a VS commodore, mainly because it was given to us, and having a mortgage to pay off and not really needing 2 cars, we opted for the cheaper to run.

Thank you so much Christain for continuing to run SAU, thank you to all the admins and moderators that take the time to keep this place awesome, and thank you to all the people who come here and help out others.

I probably wont be online much, no point, the flanno, stubbie shorts and double pluggahs are on order and I am in the midst of growing the best mullet I can get, that will complete the transformation into true bogan.

Without SAU and all the wonderful people here, my life would not have been the same.

Thank you and goodbye, drive safely and remember, real men smoke rubber.

SLAYAH!

[Revhead]

Awwww so much love in the room

Your positive outlook on, well, everything has helped me on quite a number of occasions, and I don't know whether you were a good (bad? ) judge of character, but you helped me when I needed it... I appreciate what you did to help me but what I'm most grateful for is your friendship, you really are a top guy and one of the few people who has really touched my life. There's a stack of things we should be thanking you for too mate

Best of luck to you, Nell and the kids, and you better keep in touch biatch!!

[ssshonky]

I didnt know you for a long time .. but was a pleasure all the same

its nice to see that human decency and generosity to help others still exists

and its also a thing of wonder as to how owning something ( ie a nissan skyline stagea etc) can cause such a feeling of commraderie between people.

[666DAN]

Later dude......."SLAYER"

[Nismo_Boy]

SLAYAH!

Good times, GREAT BARINA'S!

[Spook's_Skyline]

its sad to seem some long timers go, but god damn it, its hard owning a skyline

just the amount of money they require to stay on the road

im feeling the pinch myself;

[Nissan-r33]

The guy that help ya cyrus is me your welcome you seemed like a nice guy and that gravy roll u got me was just what i needed. Pitty too see that the stagea is gone looked like a nice car. Well till next time buddy take care.

[Stinky Rooster]

Well Cy, as everyone knows we have had our differences in the past, so I would like to say...

Thanks for all your help with chasing up the info on my car, and for all the laughs along the way.

Seriously, take care, and make sure you post photo's of your new mullet.

[Keegs]

Bye Cyrus your the great pleasure you took in your skids is a credit to you

[Liz]

I don't mean to be a complete bitch (actually, I do).. but seriously... SAU helps you out that much and you repay them by buying a Commodore!!!?

some people are beyond understanding!

[Ska]

Did you miss this paragraph?

.....

I have now sold my stagea, and now gone back to a VS commodore, mainly because it was given to us, and having a mortgage to pay off and not really needing 2 cars, we opted for the cheaper to run.

.....

Ah the memories, the skids, Dakabin Railway station, the jacobs well runs, the tambo runs, the fight club, pissing the hell out of adrian by being a complete fcukwit, the island, the chilli nights, driving the R33 with no clamps on the cooler piping after Jason slaved away on it for a whole weekend, deafening Marc on his motor bike with my so called "exhaust" which was nothing more than a pipe, organising mystery cruises where even I didnt know where the final destination was, soooooooo many good times were spent right here on SAu with all the great people here.

My life would not have been the same without all of you.

[Eug]

hahaha... like that time you helped out a fellow forum member, who shall remain nameless, but let him stay at your place.

wish you well cyrus... don't be a stranger

[Ska]

That could mean several people Vinnie, I have let several SAU members temporarily live at my house.

[Wildcat]

Cy you are going to be missed your an absolutely loveable person your presence on SAU has been truely amazing, your friendship and humour will be missed by not only myself but for many on these forums...

Being able to see all sides of your character has been something that will forever last in my memory...from your cheeky comments, your moderator speeches to the sad times of your grandfather and of course finding the rights words to give to your wife Nell on that special occasion.... im going to miss you around here for sure

Take care of yourself, Nell and those kiddies of yours :) Dont be a stranger make sure you come in to the stagea section and let us know how everything is going

love ya heaps :

P.S if you ever come to WA make sure you come and see us
