thought id start a new thursday night thread. some people are saying the old pac runs are being cancelled for obvious reasons i find that hard to believe. the old pac runs have been going for years. i would think it would respect the ppl we have lost by keeping these legal runs going. dont be confused with street racing as we dont do that here. do that on a track. but anyway.

thursday 13th was a good night. said our good byes. had a good chat. sorted what needed to be sorted. long live the old pac runs.

Its going to be a hard time, But i know i will be running old pac again sooner rather than later.

Tom would not want me to stop driving or to stop going to the track, or anything like that because of this.

they aren't called "runs" first of all.

when you say "runs" people like the general public or any law enforcement reading these forums, or who arent in the scene get the idea that runs means street racing. (which for those that go on these drives, know its not a street race or anything)

so if we can stop calling it runs that would be great!

its a drive, an informal social night!

Cheers,

Chris

Very courageous of you, Sheri :ermm:

Nobody should stop doing something they have a passion for. I almost went last week, but something came up. Will be there this week.

What's the max brenners option about?

Edit - I'm with Chris.. it's a cruise not a run. It's a social night out.

the NSCC meet up on wednesday nights at St Ives Max Brennas for our "Coffee and Killowatt Club", if some of the SAU members are around come and say hello.

Look for the large group of mostly blokes talking tall tales and eating waffles and ice cream - lol

Thread closed. We do not need anyone organising "runs" at the moment - I'm sure you mean "cruise" but it still does not help.

For SAU NSW members the old thread is in the members section: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/We...&start=2520. I went along to the meet on Thursday and apart from one peanut brain everything was pretty sensible...but still.

Of course, any one can organise any meet they want....just not on here for a while.....

If you want to show your respects to Tom, come along to the funeral/memorial tomorrow, I hope there will be a good turn out to show the respects.

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
