You won't even have to honk when driving down Oxford street now

What will I say to that cute guy when he sticks his head in my window and see's my blue door trims. They are next on the agenda sweety. If it makes you still want to love me Pete I'll stop there.

Cheers

Neil.

Hang on a second there tiger,,,YOU had 2 beers in the fridge and I beleive we drank my cold roadies.

That slab is not for you bitch,,,they are Jenna's for picking up my wheels.

What a great looking baby sitting bloke I am.

Picked up my wheels and tyres today,,thanks Jenna for your help picking them up.

Roy seems to like them,,, nothing beats a bit of dribble.

If it weren't for Roy, I'd think you'd been playing with the camera and taking photos of RC car tyres :P

I hope these make it stick to the road better and lots more fasts!

Ha Ha yes I see what you mean.

That dribble is almost the width of a tyre so that makes it about 265mm long. That why everything in our house has either been slobered on or covered in dog hair. 2 Great Danes is double the mess.

So while the slicks are going to be great,,,I have another little problem. With all this shit weather we have been having and from all accounts we are about to get a whole heap more,,,what do I do about wet tyres.

Kempsey's round of the NSW hillclimb champs is on this weekend and they are predicting lots of rain. If they declare the track officially wet I won't be allowed out and it's a bloody long way to go for no fun. So I decided to buy some street tyres as my wets.

At a $100 bucks each I now own some shit tyres that will allow me to run.

Got this email tonight,,,shit we are all packed and ready to go,,, what a bummer.

Hi all, due to the Severe weather warnings for the Mid north Coast, it is with regret Kempsey Sporting Car Club is cancelling round 5 of the NSW Hillclimb Championships at Mount Cooperabung. We apologise to anyone that has been inconvenienced by this decision but the committee feels it would be fool hardy to proceed with the event. For those of you that have payed for entry's via bank deposits, if you can get back to me with your account details we will make refunds asap. For those that have paid by Cheque they will be returned in the mail asap.

This decision has not been made lightly and again we are sorry for any inconvenience.

Kempsey Sporting Car Club

Maybe take some solace in the fact it's not the first event this year canned due to weather.

SE Queensland is also due for a few decent showers over the next few days.

Hopefully they might be able to pick up a date later in the year.

I want to find out how good those Avons are.

Yep I fully understand why they pulled the pin,,, big red blobs on the weather map says it's going to get ugly. It was a weird feeling last night and today un-packing and not spun a tyre in anger.

Truth be known we only entered this round to grab maximum points,,,(it always has low entrys) and for us a bit of a holiday in the country. I hope they don't get another date actually. I have no holidays left.

The next 2 rounds (Grafton & Tamworth) will give a good indication on the Avons.

Cheers

It looks like being very wet over the weekend and it would have taken more than the Toyo's to get some grip it that much water.

The best thing is Cheryl gets to play another day without risking damaging her due to a very wet track.

It just means that we have to wait 5 weeks until we get to see how good the Avon's really are.

Ah Charles,,,one should not be worried about some little problem like water falling from the sky.

We drive Skylines and they love slippery conditions.

I'd much prefer to be in Cheryl in the rain than almost anything else.

Cheers

Neil.

Im following your thread and hope i can one day do the same...

Hopefully sau nats gets sorted this year, my yearly ritual so it seems...

You could always save on the work,,,money and blood letting. Buy Cheryl.

You pimping her out to others now? Shame on you Neil :P

Ha Ha,,,yes everything in this world is for sale mate as you well know,,, someone just has to pay up. I would have bought the Purple GTR from Canberra but Mel hated the colour.

Sooner or later I will move on to something else.

Cheers

Neil.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
