Couldn't agree more, and frankly, here lies the exact reason why many old school members no longer attend.

If a bunch of you want to get smashed every month and take pics of each other to post on the internet, then how about organising your own seperate monthly pissup rather than taking over and destroying the SAU northside dinner tradition.

That's basically what I think in a nutshell.

Why are the dinners all about the drinking these days... got better things to do then babysit someone who is vomiting on their shoes again like last SAU event i went to.

News flash not everyone wants to get drunk every SAU dinner and if they were at resteraunts like they originally were then people would have a choice. Having a nice night out with some people with mutual interests or getting smashed with a bunch of random strangers from the internet.

On another topic the great northern is great venue for the FOOD :blink:

Hey I really like the Great Northern for food.. :huh:

They have really nice sundried tomarto pasta :P

maybe we can please all punters and make these events the "monthly pissup"

and then we can go back to having the SAU dinners of old where the goal was to try a variety of different restaurants, a variety of different types of cuisine and to enjoy a few beverages and talk about cars?

I guess I've left the last two early enough not to see them as piss ups. I do think the last two venues were a bit lighter on food than drink but they also let you move around a bit versus a strict sit down facility.

>_<

I've never drunk at a monthly dinner to get drunk, and the car conversation is always happening.

That isolated incident that you guys are talking about was a once-off and it seems to have clouded your perception of the subsequent events.

In my experience it's mostly been what you described it to be.

Some people do go out there and have a few drinks, but it's hardly amongst "strangers from teh interwebs". We know most of the people that come to these personally (and welcome any newbies) and if you guys gave it another chance instead of getting scared off by one incident, you might too.

Anyway, i'll be there, wherever it is.

the man has a valid point.

Can I point out that that last event you went to was actually a dinner that Nick organised......and you cant control peeps that have to much to drink :/ .Then the second was the japanese and then you guys didnt come again :(

The dinners I organise are not all about getting smashed..... just most liked Pub food and a few drinks with there meal....I did try and suggest a restuarant on numerous times but the majority always seemed to prefer pubs...which isnt a bad thing (they do have a great and relaxed atmosphere).There is nothing wrong with pictures??? All it shows is that we are having a good time and makes more people want to come cause they see what fun we have!!!!

You guy have never come to a dinner that I have organised which is a shame cause they are always great fun and every one has a good time...

But this will be the last dinner I organise and im sure some will be happy about this but I think its a bit hard to have 2 dinners every month .. :thumbsup:

I know I had a good time organising them and hope to do it again some day.. :happy:

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
