ARRGHHGHGHHG THAT'S IT ZAP DIES THIS WEEK!

Um i din mean to dori dori in the carpark... i pulled out n the back slid out... and i was liek hey... this could be fine, so I switched sides and hung the other side out..

then my responsible side kicked in and went "oh shit, i jus threw up gravel n sand and there's liek 10 cars behnd me... there go recently washed look..." that's why I put an apologetic hand up...

I made a mistake with that meetup point tho... I meant it to be a bit further down where its like a lil carpark that's on the beach front and like u can actually see the cars and the bewach from the road... not hidden behind shrubs..

ahh well.. next time

cool photo, i like!

yeah shan, i first had a good look at the car park opposite 'Red Bluff Hotel', cos that has the 360 degree-ness u were talking about when u first organised this thing. Then all u guys weren't there so i was heading off down to half moon and just happened to catch a glimpse of some dude taking a pic of a white skyline thru the bushes ;)

anyways, if u r ever organising something down bayside again, just give me a bell if u want to clear anything up, cos i'm a yokel :)

maybe i can be SAU sacrificial car for cruises, i can like dori across 2 lanes so u guys can all stay together and stuff!! :) oooo ooo, and get those commander things than can change traffic lights!! hehe

yeah chinny das the one I was thinking of as well... i looked at it on the map n I was like.. yeah that looks about right...

but it wasn't ah well... i got to do some gravel powerslides out of it....

wonder if any1 else did or I was da only immature one ;)

and this :zap: stuff isn't too bad... after a few drinks...

:zap: :zap: :zap: :zap: :zap:

Where else nice scenic cruising routes beside GOR? I had a drive past Warrnambool along the coast up to Adelaide. It was a terrific drive with many things to see along the way, although it'll be a bit too far for many, and wouldn't be suitable for a 1 day cruise.

I was wondering if anyone tried going along the coast up to Lakes Entrance, would that be as nice as GOR?

I would be happy to do the same cruise again, as far as cruises go it was a little weak, but if we could fill the car park at elwood or somewhere similar, that would be awesome! I would like to end a cruise somewhere with a park in plain view of our cars. I am sure that folks right now are travelling to places over the holidays and will come back with some great suggestions!! HINT HINT C'mon peoples lets make the next cruise even better.

    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
