We'd like our ACT Bros and Siss to keep our state's support strong! Umm, Princesss too I guess...

Move it closer to Canberra and you might get a few takers one year :)

That Jimmy Richards Dinner was great, but a bit of a bummer having to leave half way through to drive 4 hours back to Canberra to get some sleep before work. Maybe these things could be on a Saturday night for those who don't live so close?

I think this is because the track day is on the Saturday.

I have to admit, the Sunday factor was the reason that I didn't go to the Jim Richards dinner but I think that since we knowingly joined SAU NSW then this type of thing is going to happen sometimes.

Yeah I know but they're in a rock and a hard place trying to please everyone.

On Saturdays there are heaps of people that won't go due to sporting or work commitments and then on Sundays it's a little harder for us that are not in Sydney. At least we can still go.

Move it closer to Canberra and I'm sure the Central Coast guys wouldn't be too impressed and vice versa.

I'm thinking of heading to Wakie for a look then road tripping up to Sydney to stay overnight in prep for this.

If anyone is keen for a road trip let me know. I haven't decided where I'll stay yet but the prerequisite for me is that it must have secure overnight parking so we don't have to worry about the cars :)

It was a general comment Kat.

However NSW incorporates places further away then the ACT, that thing around us is NSW. Even the Newcastle guys complain things are too far away.

Just noticed this comment

We cant please everyone, but we try to nonetheless.

I can't see why quarterly meetings at August, November, February can't be run at different venues.

And I wouldn't expect Novocastrians to go to a Canberra meeting any more than Canberrans go to a Newcastle one.

However, goodwill would be the positive spinoff would it not? :action-smiley-069:

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • 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.
