Dyno Day - All Proceeds To Premiers Flood Appeal - 26Th Feb


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Mercury Motosport is hosting a dyno day with 100% of the proceeds going towards the Premiers Flood Appeal, to help raise money for the victims of the recent & devastating Queensland floods.

This fundraising event has been registered with the Premiers Flood Appeal (fundraiser promoter reference number TF/11/3474) & we are hoping to raise $4000-$5000 for this appeal (this amount has also been lodged with the PFA) :)

DETAILS ARE:

WHEN? Saturday 26th February

WHERE? Mercury Motorsport Premises - 2/278 Newmarket Road, Wilston (behind the Lifeline store)

WHAT TIME? From 9am onwards (possibly til 7pm)

WHO CAN ENTER? Any cars can enter - 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, 8 cylinder, 10 cylinder, 12 cylinder, rotary, forced or naturally aspirated, of any power & almost all fuels (just not straight methanol - for safety reasons!)

ENTRANTS RECEIVE: 3 power runs per car, dyno graph printout

COST TO & HOW TO ENTER: $100 per vehicle (limited spots, enter early!) On-the-day entry is accepted, however pre-entry is recommended to ensure you secure a spot. Simply deposit $100 into the following account: Bank: Bendigo, BSB: 633000, Account Number: 132835349, Account Name: Mercury Motorsport Australia Pty Ltd. NOTE: Please use "DYNO" + your name as a reference for the deposit ie. DYNO JOHN SMITH. Print out transaction & bring it with you on the day!)

N.B Entry forms will be allocated to all entrants on the day & all entrants will be required to sign a declaration form

BBQ (steak/sausage/onion/salad sandwiches) & cold softdrinks/water will be available to buy, plus we will be holding raffles - prizes donated by Turbosmart & Mercury Motorsport - & donation buckets will be present (again, ALL proceeds from these will go to the appeal).

Entry spots have already started to fill up & this will be a great social day for a great cause so even if you do not wish to enter your vehicle, please come along & support this appeal by making a small donation to the collection bucket.

FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL US ON 07 3352 3363

Best of luck for the day. Pity they chose the Premiers Flood Appeal. The Cow has made it means tested for max $45K income, so those who earn more than that will not receive help. There should be no discrimination when helping people in need. Meanwhile, this money will sit there earning interest that this corrupt labour govt will use to underwrite their bottom line. Blighs' corruption knows no bounds.

Personally I'd prefer the Red Shield Appeal. The Salvos do so much good.

Hi everyone!

Just to let you know that the entry fee for our Flood Appeal Dyno Day has been halved to $50 as it appears that not too many of us are very charitable!

So, spots are starting to fill up now, if you were thinking about entering but the price was holding you back - enter now by depositing your $50 into our account!

Help us support such a great cause...

:)

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
