from last weekend's Street Sprints. new PB for the car 1:00.79. I think the lap in the video is a 1:00.89 if I got the right lap from the right session. Might inspire some of you southerners to come up here for a drive of the fastest track in the country.

Ben, appaently it flooded down there with all that rain we had on Easter Monday.

Thanks Roy. The walls are a bit close in places, but it really is a great fun track to drive with the elevation changes, camber crests on corner exits and the high average speed.

Mick, it was actualy the first track I ever drove on. you'll be alright if you treat the place with respect and learn the track before pushing too hard. It scarred the crap out of me first time I drove there...

I find when you look at footage of tracks its very different to when you are driving. I bet you dont even notice the walls etc when you are driving or the bumps. I know as a passenger you notice it all...but driving... you seem to zone out.

Will make it to Lakesie one day, Mallala is going to happen before that though

Ah, Lakeside one of my all time favourite tracks. The last time I raced there was 1981, the trophy is still on the shelf, needs polishing though. Shoot, I feel old just thinking about how long ago that was. Gotta get back there next year, it's on the list.

Cheers

    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT  
    • Haha good old Letterkenny! If you're looking for another great english canadian comedy, I strongly recommend Trailer Park Boys. 
    • I live in a French European province, within a very metric country. We hate football here and the statue of liberty was actually built in France haha. Sadly, we're currently also feuding hard with the US due to tariffs. The US is the US. Everywhere else, is everywhere else. 
    • Heater wasn’t working in my 32  so I decided to pull my dash out ( sounded like a great idea at the time) so initially I was sure the heater core was blocked. When I pulled it out turns out that the heater blower actuator was cable tied so it stayed shut and this prevented the heater core from doing its job as well as flowing. so currently the dash is out the heater core is out and seems to be fine but I think I’m in over my head  and need someone that knows what they are doing to take over and get it finished. I’m located in mt Annan, nsw 2567 if anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know
