Just a short msg to pay tribute and say farewell to my father who passed away after a battle with cancer on thursday afternoon.

he was a fellow skyline lover, and he last really happy moment was when i drove up to adela 3 weeks ago for a week away with him, because he was able to finally get into my line with me and see me open her up a little down the highway....

rest in peace mate your one of a kind :)

the most difficult time was to be honest, being at the footy yesterday, as we were both avid bomber supporters, it was our favourite game of the year, having him die the afternoon b4 the big day, it was safe to say is prob the hardest thing to do was stand through the minutes silence and the last stand bugel song thingy.....

but was something i had to do ANZAC day means more now, for me at least anyway

I feel for you mate - I also lost my father due to a car crash just on 3 yrs ago this month. Try to focus on all the good memories when you're feeling down, I know its hard, I still can't believe my dad is gone...

R.I.P to all of our passed loved ones.

Hey buddy... obviously a trying time in ones life... i had to go thru it at the begining of this year when i lost my grandfather... its with the help of very close friends and the loved ones around this that we get the strength to go on and remember the times that both lives met wether it be happy or sad. Glad to see you got to spend sometime with him before he passed on... one thing i never had the pleasure of doing... cheerish it and may he rest in peace.

there are two certancies(spelling) in life, taxes and death...while some can manage to avoid taxes, we all have to face death, be it our own, and the people we truly love and care for.

ive always said "quality not quantity", and in life, where we know not where it will end, this should be a must. and it sounds like your father did just that. and im sure he is up there somewhere, watching out for you

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
