i think maybe people don't associate repco with BBQ's either and the weather

So has anyone officially put their hand up for BBQ duties? I suck at handling money, but I don't mind helping on the BBQ itself, but have NFI where to get the club banner, etc.

Steve - do you still have the meat frozen from last time?

dear mr nigel,

if i dont end up at winton for whatever reason my pig should be in one colour (primer grey, gonna re-do bits and pieces next weekend so its all uniform again haha), caged up, on my baby eating 18's and slammed on new coilies if you need another car.

but again... all depends on winton.

<3 you long time

;)

I am pretty sure I have the SAU banner in my bag of tricks Nigel .... let me know if you want to come get it from me (I am in Northgate FYI). Or I can try get it to someone in the display.

Yeah for the last bbq SAU:SA spent nearly $200 on gear and barely recouped a quarter of that. I reckon you should just go to the butcher up the road and buy $40 of cheap-ass sausages, then with the other $10 get a couple of loaves of bread and some sauce.

Oh yeah of course you do ;)

... and don't worry about the club - we over-catered (as always - better too much than not enough) and we still have plenty of meat left in the freezer for future events. Drinks too for that matter (unless Steve has drunk them all already ;) )

It really is very scary when catering for a bbq all the hidden costs involved. Until you do it, you wouldn't believe it. Of course you can do it for relatively cheap on the bones of your ass, but Steve likes to get the nice quality snags, good quality bread (and lots of it), decent amount of condiments, onions, different varieties of drinks, and all the trimmings, so it doesn't take long for the costs to blow out.

hahahaha Marko

try $208 for last BBQ, having done a cub scout bbq at bunnings next door iv'e seen how a proper club does a bbq granted they have more traffic through there doors and they had a sausage warmer on the bbq 2

i bought enough snags for 140 people to eat aprox. and im guessing we may have sold 60-70 plus the staff ate free i thought was a nice touch and guaranteed we got called back

and no they were'nt gourmet snags they were the cheap ones ;) bread was cheap no printing on the bags ;)

bbq'ed lobster and caviar at mitchs joint tonite ya'll

re sausages, i never buy from a supermarket - for the price u pay theyre rather shit - go to a wholesaler like austral and get the higher quality sausages for the same price the supermarket sells the shitty ones for

wasnt too hard to cater for the lads at loxton last year but obviously that was for under 20 people as opposed to 50-100 that you'd expect at a sausage sizzle.. can't win unless u do what steve's done and freeze the leftovers

-D

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
