what happened to everyone last night ??

After I left the park where the first bunch of photos were taken, I went back up to the cliffs to see what was happening with Jyo's 32...its not a happy car and needed to be towed :laugh:

We didn't end up leaving there until 8.00pm :)

The guys thought it was a sparking problem and decided to remove the spark plugs, to which they discovered one was very badly cracked and damaged...so they replaced all 6 spark plugs. They tried to start the car again, and while it was now sparking, it did not actually start and it appeared to then be an issue with the fuel pump, which is when they decided to organise a tow :)

Ended up headin down to Kangaroo Point park area underneath the story bridge for some photo shoots. We tried to get as many as we could in with people parked on the grass area but then ended up having to move on cause of a wedding that was either happening there or for some wedding photo's themselves.

Then moved onto Southbank for some photo's with the city as the backdrop. Havent yet seen the photo's off the camera but from what I saw when taking them, they actually turned out really well. Unfortantly I think we lost a few people heading from underneath the story bridge to southbank which is why we ended up with just 6 in the end.

The big problem I found was that we didnt group together at the top of kangaroo point to actually listen/discuss ideas for backdrops. Other issue was parking of course at the top of kangaroo point as I didnt actually expect this to be all that busy up there of that time of afternoon.

I'll post up shortly the photo's once I've got a spare hour today here at work.

Sorry to hear - hope you get it all sorted out Jyo - would have been good to have another 32 there... there was only 2 of us so we looked quite sad lol

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
