well I'm out now.. have fun boys

I'll take Tosh's place tonight then, but im only coming out for a drive. I have to work at 6am tommorow as always.

I was driving along pittwater rd today and just going across narabeen lake a pelican decided to releave itself on my car. Thank God elephants dont fly because this certain pelican nearly gave my car a colour change to white with fish pearl.

:throwup:

Hey good cruise guys :) the smaller numbers made us more transparent to police and local idiots.

sorry about the speeding fine ben, its doubble demerits... :) what happend?

Nick, that was a great cruise back, Thanks!

Ben got done for speeding?

Got any footage of my car I can use in my "for sale" campaign" Ash? I noticed today that i've still got splatterings of pelican dung on my car :(

Ahh the joys of double demerit weekends (which I totally forgot about).

On the way back from Palm Beach following Nick n Ash (they were about 1 corner infront the whole way). Came around a blind corner (doing the speed limit) to find a van had pulled out, jammed on my brakes hard to avoid running up the back of him (not his fault or mind just a stupid corner). Then afew corners later it went into 2 lanes so I drove down the inside lane to realise that on the otherside of the intersection their were parked cars so I tapped it to get past him to duck back to his lane and apparently their was a cop car somewhere around that part. "If" I was speeding it was for a total of 150m whilst I was overtaking the van so if I really wanted to I could possibly fight it (and also the fact that their were 4 cars within 50m of each other all doing a similar speed) but to be honest I have no idea of what speed I was doing coz I was concentrating on overtaking the van whilst avoiding parked cars and going thru a traffic lights intersection so no point in contesting it.

Got done for 86km/h in a 60km/h zone, $203 and 6 points (double demerits). Was only discussing with Nick n Ash about 15mins before how many points we all had (I said 6) etc so I must have jinxed myself. Just rang the RTA to ask about the suspension period etc (cos I'll lose all 6 remaining points) to find that I just got my 3pts back from a speeding fine 3yrs ago so I wont be getting suspended after all. Just means I will be on 3 points for the next 2.5yrs :(

I'll lay low for a while (won't be at the track day in 3wks) or may even sell the car and look at different options as insurance is gonna be an absolute killer when its due in 6mths.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
