i saw you leaving on thursday. was doing my first run to the new place when i saw your car traveling up Kircaldy st. (spelling?)

either way, ill be there this week.

Cruise today was sweet!! thanks Chris :thumbsup:

any chance of moving this meet to another night in the week? Thursday is late night shopping but Thursdays are really becoming a challenge for me. Thoughts, Comments?

Also hows the new place going Bodo?

in that case Ash i must live round the corner from you now.

Thursday is a good general day i think. any other day is just too early in the week for me :(

and the new place is good thanks for asking. a bit of a scattered mess still downstairs, but room for the Lispy (yes my liner has a name, give to it my the little lady). upstairs is all sorted, still gotta get internets sorted, lucky i got the dongle still atm.

got the engine back for my girls Beetle, will spend the next few arvos getting it bolted together and back in. as soon as its home and sorted i will sort out downstairs. its a good work space down there :thumbsup:

all good, was just ralf and i last night anyways.

sry, no idea what the address is exactly Chris. but its on bribie island road, just before Ningi. There is a big round about at the end of the 2 lane 100km/h zone. Basically as long as you take the Bribie turnoff and head towards Bribie, you cant miss it :)

Corner of Caboolture-Bribie Island Rd. and Bestman road Ningi. Google maps says 20km off the highway. didnt think it was that far, as it doesnt seem to take long.

Dunno if im barging in on anything, but i've had a 32 gtst for a few months now... Keen to cruise with the locals as im in Rothwell....

On a brighter note, I was in Peninsula paint today n "saved" some poor sod who thought he blew his turbo on a twin turbo supra.... Turns out he should check his intercooler piping more often.. Fished out the slipped hose clamp and with a trusty 10mm I never go anywhere without, saved him a trip to the workshop. Wish all my mechanical problems were that cheap or easy :)

Im Troy by the way. If anyone filled up at the caltex on deception bay road just up from the rothwell roundabout, chances are we've already met

Hi Troy ,

Your More than welcome to come and join in the fun, We are trying to get a group of owners together so that we can do northern cruises and such.

I think beefies might be a bust due to it closing at 6pm. we could always do curry on bribie it's self or subway.

Meeting at the northbound BP on the hightway (just after the first morayfield exit) at 7pm and moving off at about 7:15 we will make our way over to bribie and proceedd to: insert Location here.

the drive to bribie is one of the best local drives we can go for, please feel free to look online and find a suitable venue to grab a feed at.

Howdy Troy, and by all means join us.

i didnt think of that they might close that early. I' not much of a fan of bribie itself for driving. painfully slow and a tad dangerous with random drivers..........brain storm time. gotta figure out somewhere tho

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
