Trivia (or maybe not):-

3X people came up to our display and asked about the 21st Anniversary Celebration of Godzilla next year > referred to SAU desk to join up of course... +

1X person asked how much it'd be to hire our cars for a wedding > ie. a run from Mt Pritchard to Liverpool (dejavu eh Nick?).

In regards to the Audi winning best Exterior, I can see both Malcolm's and Kevin's sides to the argument. This was a Skyline show, granted, but we did leave it open to other cars to enter, so it was (and may well continue to be, unless the "rules" are changed in the future) an issue if another car wins. But of the very few cars I did look at during the day, I was stunned at the detail in the paintwork on Kevin's A4. Of course, if you didn't get up close to the car, you wouldn't notice it, and it was only after I was alerted to do that that I realised the work that must have gone into it! Perhaps if it was parked more in the sun or was under fluorescent lights would the effect have been more apparent.

Thanks for the comments mate :huh:

If you guys do another show next year and do open it up to Non-Skylines, count me in for sure! I enjoyed the show :D

Thanks mate,,,we all appreciate you enjoyed yourself and all the other really cool comments. Thanks Heaps. Another smile on my dial.

I beleive no other SAU NSW Pres has ever put back to back SnS's on,,,I now know why. That was a killer of massive proportions. Our exec section is as quiet as a mouse at the moment and I'm still getting over it.

Which brings me to address the subject of "Best Exterior". Yes as has been well documented I was the soul judge. This was a non-Skyline only award and I know I picked the best exterior. Doubt me at your will,,,go on I dare you.

What we need to get our heads around is the fact that Skylines Australia NSW is a very small club with a very limited budget,,,When the day comes that we can stand alone and expect entry's of 160 to 200 then we can have a Skylines Only SnS. That day was not 2009 and I doubt 2010 if it happens. We may well have a new commitee by then,,,,AGM voting will be in late May.

The Dartone guys brought some really bloody cool cars and I thank them very much,,,Guys and Gals you have some really cool cars indeed.

Sorry peeps but just how it is.

Neil.

    • 100% this, no point delivering a steam oven when the client just wanted a toaster 
    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.
    • Would you mind uploading the pics again in your steps?  It’s not showing up. 
    • Wherever you ask them to. I had one added to the crossover pipe near the BOV as well as the hot and cold sides of the intercooler piping to provide greatest flexibility in measuring temperatures post-turbo. I have the IAT installed in one, and bungs in the other two.
