If I had my way, we would go to the Thai near Duncan and Kel's place.:wassup:  

 

Good parking and cheap, with a bottle shop next door with the super chiller:cheers:

I SECOND THAT !!!

I think thai orchid should be the default location if we cant make up our minds....

plus you also get hours of entertainment watching duncan try and work the "super chiller" :cheers::(

Thai Orchard is good,  but how about a something different for a change?

Heh heh yeah, we eat that stuff at least once a week.

My point was really about mixing it up, maybe going south or west for a change?

I'm happy to try somewhere other than northish. it's just that that's the areas that we know restaurants so we tend to recomend places there.

I'll have a think for somewhere southish and post it up.

The only places I know of South are around Brighton - probably *not* the best spot for us!

I'll ask around and see what else I can find.

There's Big John's in San Souci (on Rocky Point Rd). Big and cheap Italian food (mains pasta dishes are huge and only cost $15 or so, seafood is their specialty). If we make a fairly large booking (say 20 or so) we should be fine. Last time our group of 8 had a booking and still had to wait an hour :O However that was on a Saturday and they had a big gorup booking which had priority.

Parking isn't the best as it's street parking but the area is fairly safe.

haha I was just about to post up Big Johns when I read kels post about brighton.....

Italian seafood restaurant....and yes the dishes there are HUGE !!

went there for a mates bday and we had like 8 people....and we couldnt finish the seafood platter for TWO......

Like cereal mentioned the area is pretty safe....plenty of spots on the side street around the corner..near the KFC.....I got there early and manage to score a spot right in front of the restaurant :O

and omg..the bruchetta(sp?) there is like half a loaf of bread....

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
