there is always ways around it though, if it is showcasing the club there shouldnt be a problem with being able to ride in someone elses car... but then again yes its a hard thing to put a strict rule on.... there will always be exceptions...

I feel that if you are an active member on this forum then the Thursday night cruises are cool for different cars. People like PhatMirage, Evo etc contribute to these forums and shouldn't be left out because at this moment in time they don't own a Skyline.

Big Skyline events should be a no go for non-skylines. I have an objection to people inviting their mates along who drive "whatever" on a Thursday who don't participate here. And don't forget it is nice to see how your car trounces most other cars on the road as well

agreed, exceptions are always gonna exist, i dont really think its a problem at the moment personally, maybe if it does become a problem do something about it but until then im having fun and i think most of your regular thursday night guys enjoy it, if u didnt u wouldnt come obviously.

"If it aint broke, dont fix it"

not all of them yet i dont think but a few, i mean really u guys seen the look on my face when someone mentions nething remotely sounding like mountain, or empty carpark it makes me all warm and fuzzy.

well i think just making it strictly "skylines only" is a bit of a wank, as well there are plenty of people on here that are perfectly able to keep up and I don't think you'd have problems with. PhatMirage is a good example and good bloke and was more than welcome last night and his car was more than able to give anybody a run (even though he's now pissed because he read this thread). If you have a performance vehicle with the emphasis on performance and have spent money in doing that, you should be able to come along. Some variety makes things interesting -- we all know how a skyline travels.

And somebody who doesn't know the limits of their own vehicle are probably going to be worse than somebody is arguably in a "slower car" but which has better handling and they know the exact limits of their car so its a bit of a stupid and wanky argument IMHO.

I can understand that we don't want cheap ass rice boxes who'll fly off the first corner and/or pose a danger to the skylines (which is what we are here for), and/or dickheads that may cause trouble, but if they're not any of those categories I can't see the problem at all.

This is also "skylines australia", and not every skyline was produced after 1993 either.. so excluding these because in your eyes they are "shitboxes" just gives an overly elitist, egotistical and wanky attitude. One of the reasons I like SAU is because these things aren't that present here, so don't make it like that.

If people subscribe to the same ethos of enjoying their car for the performance rather than just the looks, they should be able to come.

Rock on, I'm with you on this one (as a none Skyline owner myself I feel I should come too) but I have only one problem with the Mirage - HE BLOODY CUT ME OFF!!! Other than that he seems pretty cool, although I wonder how on Earth he fits in the damn thing...

Yeah PhatMirage kept up with me on the way home, and I gave it a bit to keep up with strutto, so that little thing can hold it's own.

Why cant we be freinds? Why cant we be freinds?Why cant we be freinds?

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
