Thanks Wayne...

was in dilmah's GTR going down the hill at least 10 cars away and ye we saw it. it was beautiful hahahahaha

What a day

The weather was really good to us from a start. You could not of asked for better

And a turn out of 29 cars was great for a winter's Sunday

Let me start by thanking Al for leading and letting me ride shotgun.. :P mate

We kicked of the morning from Sandown and headed up through some nice twistie

roads up through Reefton up in to Marysville. And if it was not strange enough driving

through burnt out forests seeing snow everywhere just topped it.

I hope people got heaps of photo's

Then we headed home through the Black Spur and the Dandenongs

I hope you all enjoyed the day and hope that some of the small dramas we had through

the day wont stop you from enjoying the next one..

And it was great to see a lot of new faces at this one..Thanks guys

And finally thanks to Danielle fror dropping me off at home...

So keep your eyes open for the Hanging Rock Cruise.. ( Comming soon to a car club near you )

Wayne O..

gotta say Ash, even though we took a detour, you got some mad shots though with the snow !

awesome drive, awesome weather, good crowd. boys in blue stayed at bay, couldn't ask for anything else.

time to get some sleep, that drive took a toll . . .. twice $$ :P

sounds like it was a good cruise. im pissed off that i missed it, but im definately up for hanging rock, im about 30 mins away from there.

Hey all

Asian Guy here (not JamesK)

Awesome day today- Wanye-O - thank you for yet again organising a fantastic club cruise with well planned and well thought out routes :)

Hamish - cheers for lettin me ride Shotgun and also for letting me drive a couple times - your car is 10% pure, 90% awesomeness. That Jeep on the Dandenongs didn't know what hit it! lol

JamesK- CB radio was v.handy - cheers for that and good to see you again mate :banana:

ItliaZR and Omega 36 - i got the accident photos loaded onto my computer so if you guys shoot me your emails in a PM i will send the photos off to you.

Marysville, such a sad sight to behold, but great to see the number of folks still visiting and doing their part with donations, tourism etc. I'm very proud that we, SAU-VIC, contributed to the re-building of Marysville, especially, Al, Shan, Hamish and the many other ppl that bought raffle tickets and dropped plenty of donations in the donations tins.

That is something that i will take away with me today - that SAU-Vic is more than just a bunch of hoons and wanna be racers. (AHEM 180sx)

BTW - that 180sx was an IDIOT, i feel for ya Omega36 your car was so clean and tidy and now it looks unhappy from the front :P

Was an awesome day and a great experience,

I look forward to seeing all at the next cruise:)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
