f**k the clipsal 500, f**k it to death

should be f**ken outlawed from the city - Clipsal 500; Go and Get f**ked

Get it out of the f**ken city and out to mallalla where it belongs, or build a new circuit down at Lonsdale where the mobil oil refinery was.

Traffic problems, and loss of business, due to clipsal 500 are an absolute f**ken joke. Such a joke of a race effects 100's of thousands of ppl - why do we have to put up with it? For what benefit?

My personal gripe is the fact that this week (and last week) its taking me 80 f**king minutes to get to work in the morning - with my rooted knees Im in absolute f**king pain. So whats the go - I have to take my annual leave off whenever the Clipsal is on in town? bejeeeeesus

***********

umm, obviously Im not that happy, lol :rofl:

I live south of Hutt St, so it fouls me up too, but I have the luxury of relatively flexible hours at work, so I've just been going in early to beat the rush.

I'm not going this year, but I think it's a great event, and 2 weeks of inconvenience isn't so much to pay. I sympathise for you and your knees mate, but I'm forced to wonder if you'd give a shit if it didn't affect you, or if it's just another case of NIMBY.

Sorry Brendan I disagree.

I think it is bloody awesome and would be HUGELY inconvenient to be out at Mallala or similar. Plus being in town makes it so easy to eat, drink or sleep around the event.

I would prefer not to drive 80 minutes each way to watch the car racing for each of the 4 days :)

Had a ball today (yes I am home already - have work to do and don't want to burn myself out on the 1st day), but it was unbelievably HOT sitting in the sun!! My fave pics below (promo girls were few and far between today :ninja: )

nah its all good

Ive always enjoyed the days Ive been to the GP or the Clipsal500

it truely is a great Sth Aussie event

Honestly it was said a tad tongue in cheek - but then again yesterday was a 8x forte day. Just really struggling to sit in a car for longer than 30mins.

If Im still working in the city this time next year (wont be unless I get a decent pay rise) then I'll take a few days off, I guess ..................

i got a heap of pics/vids of the cars and the concerts.

hehe i went mental when i End Of Fashion come on, my throat was

paying for it this morning.

i'll be up at clipsal later today, to see Eskimo Joe, more screaming

involved haha.

i'll put some of the pics up of the cars/concerts and i'll put the vids up

later tonight if i have time to.

God damn work... can't go thurs, fri or sat.... But,I'll be there on sunday if any SAUers are goin then!!

Tangles... take one for the team man!! I know its a pain in the arse but its only a short time!! :no:

It benefits the state enormously, it brings millions and millions of dollars over the weekend.

Think of how well hotels and restraurants and pubs are going to be going this weekend.

for sure

it brings lots of tourists into this dead city

comes alive only once or twice a year

nitecrawler, got better girls pic than that? :O

Nice pics Andrew, would be better if there wasn't that ugly fella in the white shirt spoiling a few of the shots though :(.

I am maybe going tomorrow myself, but haven't decided yet. Would be nice being a clipsal employee if we even got a chance to get any tickets, but once again the employees get shafted :)

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
