Yeah I went out there about 10:30am and unfortunately it was postponed due to wet weather (unable to put cars on rollers?)

Oh well, looked like a nice workshop and will keep an ear out for the next day :D

Cheers,

Tommo.

Apologies for all who showed up and and couldnt have there cars on the dyno. Understand that some of u guys had travelled from quite a distance.

Unfortunatelly I was there as well hoping it still be on and didnt have a chance to post on forum that it was cancelled, all we managed to do is put a sign up in front of workshop that it was postponed.

The owner have decided to have it again on the 6th November so hopefully u guys will be there and for those who couldnt make it last week here is your chance.

it's pretty poor form to cancel on the day with no way to tell anyone. there were a number of people i know of who went quite some distance to get there and i would be surprised if any of them will want to go back.

The trick is, if you are going to use SAU to advertise your event, have the courtesy to tell people if the event is cancelled so they dont drive from the Northern Beaches all the way there to find out its postponed.

Fully understand how people might feel. I travelled all the way from cronulla as well, sleeping only 4hrs and got there all excited hoping the event will eventually happen. I take full responsibility for not been able to communicate earlier that the event was cancelled and have taken all comments and advise seriously for future postings.

Once again I and many others where disapointed, personally seeing the good turn out, variety of cars and the friendly atmosphere.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
