8-10 minutes??? ppl in sunshine reported felt it too, but as I was in Brimbank Central keeping the in-laws entertained while they shopped at Miller's & Payless really puts me to sleep till I felt nothing about the earthquake...

or perhaps it was the beer I had after work... I was pretty drowsy and bored there at that time

ah you westies and your non making senselissness

their power went out for 8-10 minutes... i fail to see the point

sure it wasn't 7 minutes 23 seconds?

It did back in the 1990's ;)

There was a very decent shake, i remember it very clearly!

wow...only 19 years ago...

hahaha shit it makes sense now!

I was in the cinema at 9pm and i felt someone kicking my chair for like 5 seconds. Turns out it was the earthquake shaking the chair haha. Was about to tell the guy off but he was too busy looking behind him haha

Hahaha that's classic!

My mum came into my room and told me to turn my music down because the bass was shaking all the windows. My sound system was fried in a power surge earlier in the week... ;)

She's a real smart one.

Im in Thomastown, was working on the car with my old man when everything just started shaking. Never felt anything like it before. We were actually in the car and it felt like a lowrider! hahaha. To top things off we heard the lady next door screaming like someone was about to kill her! LMAO Didnt really know what was happening, but pretty wired 5 seconds or so.. ;)

We felt it in Port Melb. I thought it was just the cat scratching the sofa like they do occasionally where they start pulling at it. Jumped on the Herald Sun site and was quite surprised to see what it really was :)

I didnt know what to do so i just kept on ebaying haha

Lol, yeah that's exactly what I continued to do :)

The general public get trained to respond to different natural emergencies depending on where they live. We get trained in bushfires as that's what happens here, not earthquakes. In Japan and Taiwan, most of the public are well trained to respond to earthquakes.

    • 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.
