Looks like I should be able to come, my boss told me I am not going to Townsville.

Scratch that, I got told today that I am now going to Townsville and I'll be away for the 22nd. Bugger!!!

Ok, so here's the issue as I see it: The recce runs aren't so much a problem: I have nothing but time on my hands these days, so I am able to go far and wide to find some good roads if needed, and there's been plenty of offers from you Northern guys to do the same...

The endpoint is important: I've been on a few cruises now, and it's the endpoint that generally makes or breaks them: the last one was good because it was free of any public/crowds, had bathroom facilities, shade, and plenty of seating...

Those of you who were on Darrin's go-karting cruise would agree: the endpoint in that one was great for the same reasons (and it had pluto pups and go karts as well!!)...

I am more than happy to organise another southern run, finishing either at Myles' place again (assuming he's ok with that), or my place.... Alternatively you Northern folks can start putting some thought into suitable places to finish up, and we'll do the whole shebang up your end... :)

Let's aim to have a decision made by the end of the month: that way we have plenty of time to finalise the route, etc... Shade will be especially important for this next cruise, as it's not going to be getting any cooler in the near future....

I'm going in for a shoulder reconstruction on Nov 9th, I am not allowed to drive for a month, doctors orders, so no insurance etc. If my L plate son thinks he can handle it I might get there, otherwise its wait till the next one.

When the route is laid out my son and I can do a test run so he knows the way.

At this stage, it looks like being down this way, if not the same run we just did (but in reverse, maybe?)... Since I have stupidly promised a mate to run his business for him while he traipses around Europe, I'm way too busy to do a Northern recce run, but will see if I can find another interesting route locally...

That is of course unless someone else has done some groundwork up North??

    • Hi all, so some of my speakers still work some I don’t think work. The old head unit is still all functional. If I keep the stock head unit as I feel it’s vintage then can I just pop in new speakers - would that be plug and play? Would I need to bypass the amps in the doors and back? Heard there’s 3 of them.  anyone run a blue tooth into the stock head unit? Or is the only option running one of those tape decks with cable coming out?  my cd deck controller although rare I don’t think is working anymore either. Guess if I got that working with the speakers then I could load some cds.    just seeing my options here if anyone has some advise. 
    • My trusted mechanic is Tunehouse in Calder St, Marrickville. He's the guy who did the ECUtek dyno tune on mine. I'm nearing the 85k mark for my motor and I'm considering getting the oil galley gaskets done as preventative maintenance when the time comes. Since my garage isn't big enough for such a task, I'm definitely going to be handing it over to him. You'll be impressed by how clean he keeps his workshop. It gives you the confidence he and his employees will look after your vehicle with the same pride.
    • The Bogan Sports Car now has fresh gear bag and diff oil The old gear bag oil was nice and clean looking, the old diff oil was average looking, not horrible, just dark, I've seen worse in other cars, much worse Good things was that both drain plug magnets looked good with zero bits of anything apart from a small coating of that typical black goo you get on the diff plug, it was probably the original diff oil, but nothing shiny The shifts are sweet, and the Torsen is Torsening like a boss (tested in the work vehicle maintenance yard after work). LOL In other noise related news, the Racing Beat axle back sound nicer than stock from outside with the roof down, but still pretty quiet, but it's not noticeable at all really inside with the roof up.....maybe it needs a header.....🤪  This is what a OEM header looks like 😝 > 🤣🤣🤣🤑   
    • what about people that have loud exhausts on automatics?
    • Does it have a vacuum brake booster? If it does, and the booster isn't connected you will get TPS and all sorts of other codes, and it will struggle to idle Have you driven the car, checked the brakes?
