i understand that you cant see black ice, thats why i said i haven't hit any.

im just saying no matter what time the cruise is on that ice isnt that much of an issue compared to rain.

3am or morning run ill be there either way.

I've driven chain of ponds every day for the past 9 years and have never ever seen or felt black ice before and I leave for work at 5:45-6:00 in the morning. But i dont know, maybe I'm just lucky.

But I'm always keen for a hills cruise.

Let me know where and when and I'll be there!

lol see how wide the tyres are on that black 4x4

its also funny seeing human nature in action we all know once your sliding you shouldnt hit the brakes but you find your self berrying your foot harder and harder trying to stop

ya banging ya head against a ice wall sled they only want to hear what they want too hear

:laughing-smiley-014: ha,ha.....you're probably right deano.......they were only love taps compared to this one

Black Ice II

EDIT: Imagine being a passenger in the back seat of that bus.......sea sick anyone :blink:

you sure about that?

Black Ice

Yeah my old man rolled the XF falcon off mount hotham once after hitting a patch of black ice. car kept going forward, we ran out of road and we all went over the edge (rolled 3 times heh). Yeah black ice isnt nice and even snow chains dont help u with that stuff. constant 4wd helps but even 4wd's have issues with it. nice if you have a frozen lake, but when you got a single lane, you run out of room really quickly

-D

was that the one in NSW Kahli where the young fella and his mate took the old man's r34 out.......SK told me about that on the phone last night.

haha takin' daddys keys n takin' the car for a spin, the beach boys would be proud

"Cause she'll have fun fun fun till her daddy takes the T-bird awayyyy...."

Its just scary about the story that happened to the r34 a few weeks back...

Sif say that then not tell us the story for those who haven't heard.

So whats the general consensus so far, sunrise cruisey cruise or proper hills run? I'm down for either as long as I'm not working.

don't forget guys that at this time of year and at that time of the morning, most hills roads have a sheet of ice on them

+ 1

conditions are a big factor... but im still down for early morning

plus with the number of people interested dont recon there will be too much intense driving, keep it paced. :P

definatly down for this it sounds refreshing!

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
