Well its coming upto a long weekend, and i wanna go away somewhere but im stumped for ideas. Im sick of the typical places like Philip Island, GOR, Lorne, etc, and was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on something a lil different? Nothing tooo expensive tho...

Anyone else going away?

Any of the ski resorts are really nice and cheap this time of year, if youn like going on long walks and what not.

Falls creek and Mt Buffalo will have crazy bike riders on them this weekend doing the alpine classic, could be fun to watch... maybe

I just spent a week in Merimbula (about 2.5 hours past Lakes Entrance) and it was awesome! we rented a holiday house with a few friends on the beach... just cooked bbq and drank beer all week... definately good going southern NSW coast, bit of a change from the usual GOR etc... however it takes pretty much the whole day to get there, plus another to get back so not really long weekend material

O/T: was overcast one day too so me and a mate went into the local toy store, bought a Tamiya RC car and spent the rest of the day building it and drinking beer... only to find the next day that we had missed a bunch of stuff and had to rebuild half of it... this time sober haha

go the Frog, 1980's are back!

The whole area around lake king is great. Lakes Entrance, Metung, Loch Sport, Paynesville, Raymond Island, Bairnsdale. Quite a few things to see and some good beaches. Nice laid back area and if you enjoy fishing its perfect. Bout 3-4 hour drive from melbourne for most of those places, so you can even head up on a friday night after work.

however it takes pretty much the whole day to get there, plus another to get back so not really long weekend material

Teh trick is to leave at 4am, that way you've arrived by 9-10am and have the whole day to sleep on the beach

Plus, you miss all the traffic :(

My mate had the grasshopper and I had the grasshopper II. His one came in the nasty yellow colour while mine was white but repainted (poorly) by me to deep blue.

I have an old Tamiya magazine here from the 80's, should put it on ebay!

Sorry not really long weekend ideas though :P

if you want a good offroad buggy get the DF03

they can put up with a beating lots of aftermarket support :P me and friends use to go skate bowls and flip them and do tricks with them got vid some where

none the less good things this weekend

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
