This may seem obvious to most people but for some it is obviously not something they have any idea about.

If someone is organising an event....Dyno day, Cruise, Skid pan, Track day etc. They need to know numbers to ensure it is viable, there is no short fall in funds and that suitable numbers are catered for.

Therefore

If someone asks for interest DON'T say "YES" I'll be there if you probably can't go or if you are unsure. I have organised many events and this problem keeps coming up. You give people heaps of notice and yet they still can't organise themselves.

This is not on and the practice should stop NOW.

So, from now on if there is an event being organised please don't put your hand up without thinking and if you do and later find out you can't make it then e-mail the organiser as soon as you know you can't make it.

Remember, you won't be hated for not going only if you don't tell anyone or give false impressions. I know some of you guys are young and you don't like to commit yourselves but this totally screws things up.

hey cam, i'm guessing this was brought on by the track day??

although i did say i would be going i was called away (on short notice) to go overseas for work. i did try to get the msg to you and even told a few (then) SDU guys to pass on the message.

sorry if it screwed you up any but it was out of my control. but i'll definately be at the next meet. cheers dude

Yeh that's cool. I don't mind so much if people guinenly (spelling) can't go to something but some people just stick their hand up without thinking. It wasn't JUST the track day but also my Dyno day.....Sub Zero said they were coming with 6 cars and didn't show at all???? But then again that's sub zero.

    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
