What size Hiro? Will let you know Rob.

So... M for NRB & Kam, L for Blade. Anyone else? Kam: I lost the PM (read: deleted - oops) What did we agree on - post to you, or you pick up? J

These are cool - I like the tank idea. Wonder if they'll let you drive over things...

Well - more chi balancing than goldfish in oil in a frying pan Mmmm - snacky But - yes - is a valid point. Those wacky Chinese are zen masters of the obvious I say you try to keep spidey - at least that way I know she's in a terrarium eating some lost, forgotten 6 y/o - and not hiding somewhere in my house

Hmmm - space, the final frontier... is my current drama too : Why not put spidey in the lounge - and fish in the kitchen... is good feng shui to have the fish in either the north or south-east corner, and goldfish in water boost the chi of wealth. According to feng shui math: gold + water = money Can't remember anything about child-killing spiders though. Probably best kept away from the money-making fish.

You know... that first sentence kinda dulls your sales pitch. But the second one... now you're talking! But - I think she'd eat my cat, so I must decline. Why can't you just get another tank so that you can keep Spider-woman - and the fish? I've got an old fish tank kicking around somewhere that you've welcome to.

If you haven't got it - post what size you ordered so I can make sure everything adds up. Also gauging interest for a new run (should get polo sample next week). Thanks J

Ah - sorry Sid. Was too busy shoveling food into my maw I see those buses all the time - where do they go?

Yeah - Nispares. Easy. What does he want from the wreckers anyway?

Aw :Oops: I guess I'll have to pull my finger out and hit the track. Avatar changed until I do something about it...

Ice in Cheltenham are pretty good with all things GTR related 9512 7591 The HICAS thing happens to me after 15mins of straight driving - is to do with aftermarket steering wheel.

Holy cow - that's great work Benno! It certainly looked fast - but breaking a record... top stuff! No good photos of track-work or the 360... but here's one for you:

SLYWPN: The aim is to get to WRR Mobil around 10.00am - is about 25-mins from Chadstone... so a pretty sharp 9.30am departure is required.

There was a real photographer there taking action shots - with a much faster camera than mine... but you get the idea: Captain Helmet This was in the carpark - not racing though...

Ah - memories. I did Man/Mech + Elec/CompSys at Melbourne a few (10) years ago

Ah - thought that was you! I was in a blue/purple Subaru Liberty coming down Mt Macedon cross as you were going up. I had my head/driving lights on Was out taking photos of the major road signs to help with directions. Will email you full map/photos/route notes during the week... and yes, some good rest stops

DISTANCE UPDATE: Total distance is 270km - from start: WRR Mobil (Synergy 8000) to finish: Calder FWY BP (Ultimate). The only town on the route with premium is Dalesford (Optimax). If my car can make it with a full tank from the start point, everyone else should be fine

Moving this to the events section. Kickin: You must post details of the cruise. Simple stuff: date, time, location, rough itinerrary, meet points, map details, who else notified (other clubs etc), who to contact if questions etc Also - please use correct spelling when posting a cruise. Not to be a grammar Nazi - but it makes it easier for everyone to read and understand. Sound good? Please do so ASAP. Thanks James

Damn you Dox - that was our little secret Anyhoo - from a local's perspective: I had dinner at my mum's place in Armadale and went home via Prahran Coles at about 9.00pm Friday. Coming down Malvern Rd - I saw 3x patrol cars cruising. I turned left into Chapel and parked outside Coles (in Golgo) and while waiting at checkout saw 2x TMU, 1x Mercedes van, 3x bikes, 1x booze bus, some crazy personnnel carrier... and a partridge in a pear tree. Headed along Chaps to Café Sienna - where I turn right to go home - and every second person on the street was a uniformed cop, there were 2x S13s and a VL outside KFC getting checked, a Lancer next to Coles getting checked and red/blue lights up near Jam. Was out last night and heading home at 12.30am - saw many red/blue lights along Toorak & Chapel (was heading home from Richmond end) so went the long way around and went home via Williams Rd. What an incredible waste of resources. What were the police trying to do?

Ah - It must have been Tom Skerrit Hussein's beard that threw me BTW: At the bottom of the Snopes page on the link above is a Camel Spider video - nasty little buggers. They do look just like a face-hugger. Ripley!

This week has kinda crept up on me... perhaps next Friday 23rd?
