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 have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
    • I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that. 
    • You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
