Well here is an update,

It looks like we will be meeting at probably 6c and either Grey Gum or macca's at windsor.

I'm thinking of getting away about 9am from windsor so as to get a full day for a nice relaxing cruise.

Hopefully we should be back sometime around 5:30 - 6pm. (have to finalise these details though)

Numbers are good so far (see above) and more are welcome.

Cheers,

Dan.

If I remember correctly - which I do, this road will, after much interesting scenery, (Straights, sweepers, U-bends, very little traffic) will lead us to the Hunter Valley - which, if I remember correctly - which I do, is a real challenge for those who may enjoy fermented grape juice. I ponder - is it a more efficient use of PULP to kill two birds, so to speak, and make an arrangement for those with a liking for the grape juice to sample some of the same whilst in the region.

Think of the good we can do for the environment!!!!

Wadda ya reckon - fatz - dan - paul - dean???

Gotta work Dan, sorry. Sounds like it'll be a good turnout :)

YOU SUCK!! :talk2hand :hellpisd:

you could still bring me back something from o/sea's tho. :) :headbang: :fro:

:eek:

now who hijacked my thread... let me see... if I catch the bas... (sees who it is and gets up from computer, walks into other room where dad is)... well now that that is sorted out... it appears that dad is good at reasoning!!!

Well wine tasting as well...this will be a long day... and I have to be at work at 5:15 the next morning!

Well, lets have a show of hands on who would like to possibly do a wine tasting lunch as well. Maybe we might have to split into non tasters and tasters for the return journey.

If we are going to go it will take a bit more research as to where we can park all these cars. Dad and I will look into it and see... but it could be possible... even still getting back pretty early (6:00-6:30pm) to windsor.

Has anyone heard from oz recently??? his knowledge of this area would be invaluable... if anyone sees/talks to him send him here for his advice!

And loz we may be able to push the start time back a bit... maybe half an hour... but it will take us all day to do the cruise! and it IS worth while coming... anyone who has been before will tell you that... and everyone that is coming along for the first time will tell you that on the night of Sunday the 3rd of November after they get back!!!

did I miss anything???

Duncan and Kel, Fatz, does this mean that you'll be along? Good to have you as always Xrsist.

Cheers,

Dan.

    • 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.
