i know a few members have stayed at the rooms out the back of Sandown Hotel. had some room for cars/trailers not viewable from the street. though, wasnt the biggest area to navigate.

Not cheap but your car won't get nicked and it's close to the track for that potential walk back...

Sandown I've got no idea because it's only  few suburbs away from me... Unfortunately it's also right next door to Springvale and Dandenong which aren't the friendliest suburbs to leave a car overnight on a Friday/Saturday.

For Philip Island I have stayed a few times at Ramada Resort which is halfway between the Track and Cowes, right in the middle of the island.

Yo Martin, so had a flight booked with Qantas domestic, got a message saying I could checkin as it was 12 hours or so before my flight. Then got another message saying my flight has been changed and need to go to the website to see the changes. Go online and see that my 10am flight is now a 11:40 flight and that there are no longer flights in a 2hr window between 9-11am. Is this something that happens regularly, without explanation?

This has happened to me with a couple of 6am flights to Sydney or Brisbane (i can't remember which city it was). 

It doesn't happen often to me (twice now in my work life). It normally is caused by one of two things, delays caused by traffic/weather/maintenance or they have a need for a different plane in the location you are flying to.

I've not had my flights moved as far as yours though.Mine are normally shifted by 30 minutes or so.

Kinda surprised at the bounce-back. Had a sell order at 4c two weeks ago and decided to pull it... Oh well.
News is pretty terrible but I'll wait for some educated Hot Copper poster to tell me how the info is a minor setback and that there is still faith.
(if my flight was on time I would have seen the announcement and sold probs 50% of my holding)

Bit of a bloodbath, but the price isn't any worse than it was before the announcement ramp up.

Have only had a skim of the announcement, but so far looks only slightly positive erring on the side of inconclusive, when market was expecting mega positive.

Early days of analysis still but I don't see any positive info thus far.
Large pressure drop in a short time frame, reduction in choke to maintain pressure, only ~18% of fraction fluid recovered, no notable hydrocarbons detected, was supposed to start on the 28th but didnt start till the 31st etc.
I'm wondering if/when they will use an artificial lifting method.

you get that when there bad weather at a airport somewhere else, as the planes bounce between, so if Bris has bad weather then it screws with Melb flights.

and lounge grog does not open up till 12 so screwed either way.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
