As per comments in another post I (and others) have put forward ideas on having a big daytime cruise and another group activity which involves everyone getting to know each other.

Points brought up so far include:

1. all wear name badges with name and nick

2. take a photo of every member and their ride, to put up on a 'Who's Who' page on this site

3. some form of eating whether it be picnic or the Crown Pub @ Victor

4. cruise to Victor (open to other ideas)

5. possible paintball skirmish at Wirrina Resort (Victor Harbour) - as this is something just about every guy wants to do, but never does it.

Now we have sort of formed a committee comprising Myself (Nightcrawler), Paul (Pawley), Matt (Whatsisname) and Erica (Cheeky). Anyone else wanna be an 'organiser'.

So .... please, PLEASE add any ideas suggestions, ideas, likes, dislikes, or just tell me to piss of back to hole I came from etc. etc.

:D

Proposed/possible date Sunday (for Erica) 30th March (for Paul).

Totally open to other ideas/dates/organisers!

Just a suggestion - but the Victor thing has been done to death

a bit lately.The Murray Bridge Idea is cool 'cause it's different & includes twisty & long straights.If we went up through Birdwood then took Palmer Road to MB there would be a good mix of roads & some excellent photo opportunities.I happen to know a guy with a ski boat too - although I'm pretty hopeless at it.

We could return on the freeway.Be a great day trip & means sitting around admiring all the cars while waiting for a turn behind the boat(which is a firebird with a 400 chev) & perfect for a BBQ.

See what happens.

John u r da man .... bring on the hydraslides I say ;)

I agree it would be nice to take a different run for a change .... Chain of Ponds, Gumeracha, Birdwood etc is a nice stretch ....

btw I am off to Surfers Paradise with the missus for a week of R&R .... so don't get offended anyone if I don't respond to posts/emails .... I'll try to check in up there, but am not making it a priority .... hope the cruise tonight was cool - sorry I couldn't make it but we leave at 8am tomorrow morning and the missus told me I'm not allowed out till 2am doing fun stuff :D ... oh well there's always next time!

I think your onto something GTR king.

Lets all go to the Barossa and hire some limo's and do a wine tour.. (aka lets get smashed on expensive wines)...or go somewhere were I can drink lots of expensive wine.... (" This is a suggestion")

GTR King is right.. lets do something non-car orientated just once.

Maybe this is my feminine side speakin??

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
