hate that shit! on the first cruise i only met a few guys! but most people were like look at me and i look back and they turn and go a different direction! what's wrong? do i really look that dodgey?

anyway Pete! as for you, you're big and was wearing a harley davison tshirt and rocked up in a mint chopper just spelt bikie to me! not insulting you in anyway but it was just my ignorant judgement but it still didn't stop me from saying gday

No harm done Son.....it's all good :domokun:

That's sad, going to a meet where every one stands around and nobody actually meets.

Sadly I think it's a side effect of the playstation generation, when I was young we all played in the streets or parks and knew every kid in the estate. It was a very social upbringing, with the generations coming through today a lot of them don't have the social skills.. reason being social skill are learnt through social interaction and become natural/comfortable over time. You don't get it free in the ps3 bundle, p.c or sitting alone in a room chatting online. As you've seen first hand, throw them in a social situation and they'll all just mill around until something happens....which seldom does.

We've bred a generation of malformed/unadjusted nublets.

Offer you're hand to shake and they'll take it as some sort of adversarial test.

Don't get me wrong there are a lot of good-social younger people, they seem to be the ones who's parent/s actually had a go at parenting instead of leaving it up to the TV/ps3.

Very good & insightfull post. :O

the only crook is you robbing yourself of a social life :domokun: shoot em all sled and let god sort em out :O

next sau group activity, communications course :O

im full of good advice it just comes with a warning to not be taken seriously

I talk to pretty much anyone at the meets - hey i wouldnt have made so many friends off of here if i didnt just start talking randomly to people. I tend to just go up and ask who they are, what their username is. I did see your car last night, first time iver ever seen it, I had no idea who you were, otherwise i wouldve said hi!

Come say hi next time, i wont bite or ignore ya :)

I saw ya there but at the time I was talking to a dude from Unley Nissan about his GTR and then you were deep in convo. Then the cruise started heh.

I think dans hit the nail on the head, bbq and the footy might be the go, I can't play football for shite but I can apply flame to meat with the skill of a samurai.

-D

hotwire is that the titanic breaking the ice and then going down :)

yeah if there's enough interest we could plan something. somewhere with soccer (football depending on your nationality) basketball or skating (id prefer the last 2 :) but im easy) or whatever people wanna play maybe could hold a vote.

Hrm... do u know of any reserves in the hills that'd suit? somewhere with enuff parking?

I vote we play mugby. haha...

-d

yeah i understand where ur coming from. i try to meet at least 2 new people every time and have a decent convo. yeh damo bring out the name tags again. im sure over time everyone well get to know each other. i think there are alot of new members as of late makes it tricky.

(***edit**) usually day or night events that dont involve much driving and more... interaction help. like the sau dinner recently was pretty chilled. i recon paintball :) nothing like shooting each other then having a laugh and a chin wag after. also go carting would be sweet.

sounds like an outdoor lan :) with human interaction

this thread cracked me up, i thought the same thing when i first rocked up to a cruise, but then steve and cubes started chatting to me, and it was all good.... I'm a proud member of the playstation generation, but i find in situations like that i always try n go by myself... can be a bit unnerving but ur more likely to meet ppl cos u dont have a mate as a security blanket :P

when i next get off my lazy ass to come to a cruise/meet i'll be saying hi to everyone :D

I tend to be a bit shy on cruises and don't go out of my way to talk to people, I usually go with a mate so I don't have to :P

Having said that I'm always down for a good chinwag and if someone was to come up and say g'day they always get a friendly g'day and a handshake in return :)

One day I might register my skyline and attend a cruise :D

hey dohmar sorry i didn't chat was kinda preoccupied as per the pm i sent you!

that was the 2nd meet i have been to and so far you are the only person that has spoken to me so thanks alot for that :woot: hope to chat more next time!

i agree with andrew as well, i'm shy as and thats y i always take a friend too hehe

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
