Holy crap... just got back from the Classic Celica Cruise in Sydney. 11 of us driving, we get on the M5 and all get separated after a few take a wrong exit. I wasn't planning on getting separated... I had no ones phone numbers, my CB was out of range, i had no map, no GPS, i didnt even know what street I was on or where i was going... I was asking for directions from everyone I could but Sydney people are jerks, they helped but I would just end up more lost then before 2 hours later I stop at a BP to buy a map (It took me so long to find a petrol station i could actually get in to), turns out the BP is on the correct road and made it to the cruise and still managed to beat 3 of the other Canberra guys there.

Fun apart from that shitstorm, i was so close to giving up and driving home... I managed to pick up my PS3 and GTA IV aswell :) So now im going to take out my rage on a video game

also just got hamburgers and chips from the food van at woden... chatted to the guy and he owns a GTIR pulsar so I told him to go to the museum.... so... like... if some random pulsar guy turns up next friday...that's why :)

you were on the M5 but you got lost getting to canberra ??? :D

btw LOVE that yellow lambo!!!!

no, not that bad haha.

Was from Canberra heading to homebush stadium. They pulled off the M5 at the wrong exit but took the next on ramp which was no more then 200m down from the exit, i couldnt swerve back in time and got separated without any map, gps or phone to call anyone so naturally i drove around looking for a sign to Homebush and got completely lost.

Was a really nice place for a car meet up. Heres some pics i took

fun story from 1 hour ago.

Think i've already said it here but next week we leave the property and will be back living in Canberra so we have to get rid of all our paddock bashers. No drama, only 1 still ran so i got permission from my sister to absolutely destroy it before EZscrap comes. So alls going well, plowing through trees as usual when me and 2 friends (they came to take one of their paddock cars home, still regoed :down:, this was all a spur of the moment thing) decide to take the car off some sweet jumps. Things escalate until we get a fair amount of air and land what feels like nose first into the ground. Whiplash for all.

So its my turn again, i drive it through the forest area and decide to side swipe a tree, i get too close and get whipped (hard to describe, basically hitting too much on the left side caused me to sling shot further to the left) directly into a gigantic tree stump. One of my mates in the back seat had instant bruising across the stomach and i nearly face planted into the steering wheel. The damage was weird, radiator still mostly intact but everything underneath it was pushed back 50cm or so. Car still runs so we drove it back to its original parking spot.

My neck is killing unsurprisingly, can't wait till the morning to feel the real pain haha.

It was a good send off from farm life

Has anyone else been seeing flashes of light in the sky the past couple of days

Aren't they aeroplanes?

Anywho... I was in Sydney on Monday at a caryard and some guy walked in and was asking about importing the new r35 GTR or whatever its called.. he got quoted $165,000.00.. I thought it was more than that.

Has anyone else enquired about the 35? (or whatever its called)

nerm

Has anyone else been seeing flashes of light in the sky the past couple of days? or are the aliens just targeting me lo

While I haven't seen the lightning I've been watching over the last 2 days the clouds turn from fluffy clouds into big towering storm cells down here in Tuggers.

haha silly cars, thats what my dads new 50 year old wife calls them aswell, must be a generational thing :woot:

well since she's nowhere near my generation I wouldnt know!!! :)

actually I thought everyone called them silly cars ;)

Aren't they aeroplanes?

lol smartarse :D

While I haven't seen the lightning I've been watching over the last 2 days the clouds turn from fluffy clouds into big towering storm cells down here in Tuggers.

so we're getting a storm soon? apparently there was supposed to be hail in sydney tonight...

the light I saw was in Manuka and it was kind of like a red light camera flash but way higher up and bigger. I guess it could have been lightning. I thought there might have been something on somewhere.... was kind of weird..

$14500. I stupidly just accepted rather then ask for more but im happy with that.

21 year old guy new to Canberra, I'll tell him about the forums and see if he will join up so i can keep an eye on the my old car :cheers:

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
