I think everyone overtook or had to wait for Raf :down::P

Pleased to have met you too Steve - quite a nice S14 with the meanest looking front. :)

Raf has to drive in a fashion as to not make his new baby an orphan. :P

Thanks Juz for your comments too btw. Sunny day tomorrow - to wash it.

Introduce yourself to me next time - and do it twice so that I don't forget you lol :D

Now that Humbla is away up in Qld with her grandkids - it's sorta safe isn't it, to tell you what happened at the end of the Overtaking Lane when she ran outta room? 'Er maybe leave it to another day - and keep the story in a 'dirt file' as leverage for a favour! :nuke:

Hey Champ, sorry that would of been me... i was stressing the whole way to the pass cause im only a "L Plater" i could only do 80... and ive never been on the road so i did pull over and let everyone go cause i do know how dangerous that road is, and i know you all wanted to have your fun, thanks for passing me on the broken lane sorry to hold you up for about 10 mins... you still caupht up to the group....but it won't happen again i get my p's and my line soon... sorry again but thanks guys for an AWSOME day!

Sorry I sounded a bit of a dickhead in the last post. No harm done, first time is always scary, always better to take it easy then roll down the mountain. No need to apologise, it was a cruise after all. Only did the pass once at full tilt when I went with my relo and another bloke in an R31 GTS1. Back then my car was even worse (stock engine, leaking Monroes) but it was awesome fun. I did chase a bike up the pass once when I was leading a couple of R31s hahaha. It's the only place apart from race tracks where you can open it up without going to jail.

That pass is definitely a very torturous road... Jamberoo Mountain Road is just as bad...

Both are terrible when you find patches of dry ice on them on the winter nights/ early mornings!

No, that road is more likely to hospitalise/kill you before you even see a copper on it... Terrible place for full tilt. Corners are constantly covered in moss when the weather has been right, and through winter, common for ice...

^^^ And also Matt, after rain in autumn > wet autumn leaves pay no respect to HICAS or ATTESA E-TS Pro; especially in the lower reaches of the pass.

Southbound from Cambewarra Mtn lookout on the Nowra Rd, the 1st hairpin (left) is treacherous too. An R34 GT-R in our convoy in '07 did a 180 in April. And he's also an EVO driver that does track.

Yeah Thanks for not flaming me about coming alond even tho im an "L Plater" and holding you guys up, My mum now understands why I have so much respect for you guys. My Mum Carol Said "Some Very Nice Car's And Very nice bunch Of Guys" this means a lot coming from her :P lol, anyways The Road as well as being Very Dangerous Due to the road conditions, The Scenery Distracts you well it did for me, Those waterfalls Where Beutiful!

Always slowed down when it was wet/soggy, plus I don't drive a turbro so don't get much up to 60 km/h anyway. My "full tilt" is slower than your "warming up the tyres" haha.

No probs, at the bottom of the pass just was trying to get you to keep with everyone cause it's more fun that way, not trying to shuffle you on :D

Haha, if I'd managed to grab 2nd properly, would have been better. Stupid broken finger.

Mad quick run back to AP though.

    • 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
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
