For anyone interested.

Apollo Bay - 23rd March

Location/Time: **will put this in depending on if/who is coming**

I'll be getting my car back hopefully friday and the following weekend i'm going down to Apollo Bay for a quick look/scout at some more good spots for Photo's.

As most Vic would have seen... the Harbour area was great but there are about 3-4 other places at least in Apollo Bay i know of.

And i wanna check 'em out as i think there are some maybe even better spots.

That way we can make a HUGE cruise/photo meet on weekend, but the homework has to be done first.

Anyone who want's to come for a trip down again, it won't be a whole day thing as the 10th was... prob round trip of 7 hours as opposed to 10-11. And i'm trying to time it so there will be less traffic/more harder driving (such is what i go donw there for)

I have a house at Skenes Creek (10 mins before apollo bay) and we'll prob stop there for a BBQ/refresments before going home via otways/more photo locations.

Sounds good, i will be in for that. If it is only a scouting trip why doen't we car pool, we could take my car or if you prefer i could come with you.

Oops re-read your message, i guess you want to open her up. If there isn't too many people i would be glad to cruise in your car. If a few people come i will also take my car.

Keep in touch

Yeah... i'm going either way...

So i'm just seeing if people wouldn't mind coming if they aren't busy n stuff.

I loved the looks all the sky's got when we got to Apollo Bay last time

AL.... i've got a mate coming with me and i only want the one passenger... as i'll be... ummm, moving at a fair pace you could say, no offence or nothing :D

For those that know my car, she'll get a fair beating that day as i LOVE to push it.

Just post it up if ya can make it... but this will be a weather permitting event.

If it's raining i wont be going, not going to risk it with this car

NO OFFENCE TAKEN (i clearly understand :P)

So it looks like my car is going for another run. I see if my mate Mal wants to come again or maybe another mate, as it may be a bit boring by myself.

So far the date looks good. We keep in touch.

yeh! get him to come. I was telling him on the day that he should bring it down one day. Cappa's are way cool :)

If he comes i'll have one more reason to come down on the day.

I wanna sit in it while he hammers it around the place ;)

Sorry bud, no room. It's only a 2 seater and i have called shot gun. :uh-huh: :D

Phoned him today, he said that he would be very iterested in coming.

Other than that i don't care what cars come along....

But will they keep up :) LOL

You may be supprised (sp?) it has a bit of go, and alot of handling.

But against a car with the heart of a R33 (that's what it takes to get some real go! :P j/k) he will be pushin it, AND trust me he WILL be pushin it (not in the litual (sp?) sense :)).

Unfortunately something has come up on the 23rd, something that Mal and i have been looking forward to and may be helping out with.

On Sunday the 23rd, Calder Park management are running a "SOOPA CRUIZE". Basically a rip off of the summer nats. See attachment below:

Sorry about the late notice, but i only got this the day i posted my last message. If you want/can prospone the scouting cruise for another day (as i would still like to go on the GOR again) and come to Calder Park. The day should be MAD! (weather permitting).

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
