yeah, i'm heading out tonight.

Noone?

i'll still probably head out tonight, anyone else coming?

i'll be there tonight, so don't leave if noone is there by 7:35pm

what could you have got for 8 bucks. half a slice of toast?

Long time no see. Nah, Superlap is on, most people buggered off to sydney today.

I think i'm the only other regular who will even be in town anyway

I think you'll find that the government is rolling out Ethanol in fuels, in that its mandated a targeted a minimum amount to be sold (8% or 12% or something like that I think). Doing more faster would be impractical because almost noone is able to use the stuff. And of course since its a free market they can't force servo's to roll e85 out. And even then, the biggest issue that there is currently is that there simply isn't enough production capacity in the country to make it. All the existing plants are working at 100% and all the stuff made is bought, as i understand it. As far as i know, that is the actual reason caltex only has it at a handful of servo's. There's a new huge refinery under construction, however it got pushed back to 2013 or something last i heard. in other words, this has zero to do with carbon tax.

No. To much power to weight.

Permanent bits or getting stuff fixed bits? Though it sounds like permanent bits. That's ok, 32's don't voyage.

Yep.

Interesting, wouldn't' have picked that one. Very fast car for a P plater vehicle.

I should make an apperance, but i'm busy again tonight. Next week i guess.

Well, like i said, any car with less power to weight than 125, and less than 210kw total qualifies. So r33's are not possible. R32's are. Silvia's aren't. Other cars? i don't know, you probably need to go find otu their specs and calculate the ratio on them.

hey, R32's only produce less than 187kw! Yes, R32's are P plate legal under the law changes, and there are P platers driving around on them. For the low powered exemptions you no longer need a reason, unlike the work exemptions etc from before. So, if she really, really likes r32's, just buy one. if she'd rather a r33 or a silvia or something else over the limit, the choice is obvious, wait 8 months because she can't legally drive it yet. edit: i see that you already own a r32. she could apply for an exemption and drive that, for example, providing it isn't modified to some extent...

Great! I look forward to seeing both of you there. The prediction for Saturday is fine, partly cloudy with a max of 21. Perfect driving weather.

I almost forgot there was a forum here I'm sick of these rainy days. Otherwise the temp right now is perfect (for me). A little chill in the wind, but otherwise just right.

Lets clear it up now. Are we talking about the Skyline nationals in september, or the SAU nationals in november?

Direct freeway drive to it (EFI), takes 25 minutes to get there from the CBD. Wouldn't call that far..

Since it looks like noones going, and the weather is miserable, and i have a headache, i'm staying home.

So is anyone going to be there?

Yeah i'll be at kenmore at 7:30

Hey all, time for another cruise! This time we'll be doing things a little bit differently. I had some feedback at the AGM that Sunday cruises didn't suit everybody, and that some shorter Saturday cruises would be good, so we're having one! It'll be on Saturday the 21st of July, leaving from the Ferny Grove BP (next to the Ferny Grove train station) at about 1pm. We'll cruise will head through Samford valley, and over mt glorious, and then up past Sommerset dam to kilcoy for afternoon tea. If there is enough sun left, we can head over Mt Mee to get back to Brisbane. This is a Shorter cruise, as the last two have been longer affairs. Hope to see you all there for a good fun afternoon out!

Andy and Chris (big chris?) have been discussing it on the QLD forums. Don't think i'll be there though.
