Best run was through the nation when we left my place to swap the BM for the SSS at about 2:30am. Nooo traffic at all, just flat out, only traffic to deal with was 3 deer that wanted to become hood ornaments!

Oh and a big thanks to 400hp for the phone call today asking if my BMW was meant to be on a flatbed trailer heading towards Parramatta, unfortunately yes it was, but it's awesome to know people keep an eye out for others rides like that! ;)

And b4 you ask, it was the second diff I have blown since owning the car, and it let itself go when the light went green on the Macquarie st exit of the ED this morning. Shyt happens I guess :D

Thanks for keeping an eye out Ed, where did you see it? It feels strange seeing my car moving without hearing it, it's just not natural!

Hehe, that's cool mate... it's good karma :D

I was driving into the city and spotted it on a tilt-tray turning off Parramatta Rd. towards Glebe... you can't miss the quad zhorts, M badge or Red Devil in your rear window :)

Hey - Anyone from the North Shore/Northern Beaches going on this cruise, want to meet up and drive together to the meeting/start point? I'm going to be coming from St Ives.. I know 400HP wants to meet up in Chatswood ? I'm 100% sure i'll be going if my alarm goes off in the morning ! :P

Anyway reply here - i'll be checking tomorrow night ( fri night ) and saturday day ;)

-Alex.

Alright I don't know who else is coming from the North at the moment... I know Mona is picking up Tosh in the morning and I'm meeting Kelvin. The meeting place is the Shell station on the corner of Centennial Ave and Bridge St.

Darky and anyone else who hasn't been there. You go down Pac HWY until you get to Epping road. You turn onto Epping Rd. You shortly turn left onto Centennial and you stop at the first Shell you see.

Meeting here at 6:45.

So far Moanie and Tosh, Sura, Darky, maybe BY BY and me.

did someone say yum cha?

Kel and I coming along.

For the northsiders, which way you going after centenial drive, we're leaving abbotsford at 7am, could meet up one the way....channel 33 I guess.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
