OLD Mark

Interior is schmick, getting up early tomorrow to head to the car wash.

Was filling up for tomorrow at BP brighton and a blue S15, that CA 180SX with 2 tone grey/black, and a silver RX7 FC showed up behind me.

Getting excited for this one, convinced my mate in a JZX100 to come.

Hope no one had big dramas with the cop's blitz.

I'm at home enjoying my pool and scotch. Might be out for a ride thru the hills later :P

Anyone who went to the cruise, let us know how it went. :banana:

the cruise was a good one with about 50 cars, the only cop issues we ran across was the accident blocking south road and the express way separated the group but the cops had there hands full prying apart a couple of Commys and a few other shit boxes. a tiny bit of rain then lots of sun on the way out

and the other minor problem was NO PARKING in Victor Harbor ? cause the market was on, but beside that it was a great turnout with some new faces would have been nice to get all the cars in a line up for photos in victor, oh well next time

thanks for a good cruise, look forward to the next one.

cheers

NO BLITZ YEAH!!!

MASSIVE THANKS to Bec & Lindo for the organisation & invitation :banana::P ....it was a great drive on some seriously fun roads.

Special thanks also the (Boobvia) Bec for the collection & the pressie (silly lady it was not necessary) also to Michael Coppla for the photo shoot prize & to MR Nick from Smooth Garage for his kind donation.

Finally from the depth of our hearts a sincere thanks to all the SAU members who attended & those who also donated $323.20 ... today meant the world to us. It is a pleasure to be "the OLDS".....remember, if you can't find someone to talk to...you can always talk to us !!!

OLD Jules & Mark

PS ...hope to see you all again on the 1st Feb 2009

Edited by mark03

was good to catch up with a whole heap of people at the meet point....spewin i couldnt go on the cruise but ill defintley be going on the BSM cruise next year without a doubt!!!!!!!!!!

well done to everyone who donated to a cause that is in need of every bit of support!!!!!!!!

Sorry I couldn't make it out, the slave cylinder gave up on the GTR which means I have no clutch lol. Glad to hear you had no cop trouble... they're doing a huge blitz at the moment. There's massive amount of cops on the streets these nights!!

I'll be out on the BSM cruise for sure, though!

Today was so fun and a damn good experience. Got to see some pretty mad cars and talk to a few people.

Went off well, small patches of rain on the way but mostly sunny, no caps. That car accident was the worst bit, split us all up which resulted in my and Mark (blue S15) cruising for the majority of the way to Victor, untill BAM white 32 GTR, Red S13, White S13, and a few others all of a sudden were tagging along.

Then spent about 15 minutes searching for a park :blush:

But had mad fun, the fluro tape was a great idea too.

Can't wait for the next one.

PS: Anyone got any photos of my car (full stock white 180SX with gay exhaust) or the ONE AND ONLY Chaser (Dark green with Volk SE37's just incase) please post them up, my mate and I would appreciate it.

Tom.

thomasino, i was in rbware the white gtr that caught up to you, man your car is like a boat in the rear end, and when you over took that mitsi 380 near a corner we thought oh no,! lol was a wickid cruise everyone! only shame was the crash and getting split up from people!

oh, you were in rbware? i was sitting behind you for a fair chunk of the run in.... until i was overtaken at a buck and change by the dude in the auto 13... in a 2 car gap.

    • 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'.
