who wants to help clay my car? never done it before, think i get the idea but guidance from someone learned is always good.. that and i cbf doing the entire car myself :)

Mike. It is so easy. buy a Maguires quick clay kit. When i had my car i would do the bonnet and roof at least once every two weeks and the sides and rear once a month. The bonnet becasue im consistently looking at it when driving and the roof becuase it was near my eye level when hoping in and out haha. Little things would get on my nerves. It'll only take about 1 hr. hr and half to do your entire car in a TLC manner.

Mike - we've used a clay bar on my old sil a few times and as Stagman said it's pretty easy and doesn't take too long at all. Mind you, an s13 is considerably smaller than a Stag :P

Meanwhile, I'm dying to know the route for this cruise :( I've got surf patrol at Christies Beach that day so I'm hoping it starts North and finishes South otherwise we'll have to nip off early.

I can give you at least that much. Yes, starting north and ending south :D

good-o :(

Although it just got smashed into on the side of the road tonight so depending on when it gets fixed we may not make it. It's driveable but doesn't look anywhere near as pretty :huh:

car damage pics

:huh:

they've already been sent, lol, i'll forward it to you

received, my stag isn't here yet, nut does anybody mind me coming out to the start point and having a suss.......maybe even tag along right at the back. i really want to have a good look over some other stageas rather than the 3 i've seen.

If it helps i'll drive my VE ss sportwagon and we can do a comparo :down:

Okay ... I sent out a bulk PM on the Sunday before my trip to Victoria ... so most of you, if not all, should have the meet point. I'm putting the cruise route together today ... will be about 1.5-2 hour cruise with a short food break stop. Be sure to have enough fuel.

Any fresh enquiries about the meet point, PM me for the location.

Bring cameras so we can compile another YouTube clip. :ninja:

:)

change of plans, looks like i'll be cathcin a ride out with tangles in his Stag. lookin forward to a good cruise.

my car's not getting fixed til 22nd March so we'll be there but it won't look pretty...hmph :P

Don't worry Jo, im in exactly the same boat. :D I got Hit yesterday on my way to work. I will be there but it wont be as attractive as I had planned. My rear wheel on the passenger side and rear quater pannel have some heavy scratches and dents.Could have been a lot worse, but an idiot turning into me at 60 kmph was certainly felt. Not happy, must be the week for damaged Stagea's. I think I read Ruby hit a Rabbit on the way back the other day aswell.

:down:

Hitting rabbits at 110kph at night time is not pleasant. My first fear was: "Not the intercooler!" :laugh:

I'll be attending to the front bar on Saturday. Who cares if you're sporting damage ... HTFU and come for a cruise :P

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
