I'm so excited for this! I will have my new SLR too. I'm trading my Nikon D3000 in September, don't know what to get yet (Nikon D3100 or Canon EOS 1100D - unless I splurge and get the Canon EOS 500D or Nikon D5100), but I will get a 250/300mm lense, so plenty of Winton track shots will happen :) I always had the intention of getting a 300mm lense for the D3000, but never did, just had the 18-55mm.

would you like me to ask a mate hes a professional photographer and will give an unbiased opinion

Yeah that would be great Steve!

edit: That looks great Pete, but I lease my SLR's so I have to get one new :/

Quote to qustion about camera

That's a toughie, I don't really know anything about any of those models, if it was me, id go into a store and play around with them, the specs are so close, that the images aren't going to come out much differently. It's probable that the feel of the camera in the hand (sturdiness, ergonomics etc) is the thing that's going to set them apart most...

other quote

Mines a canon 5dmk2, 21MP but I shoot a lot of my wedding stuff on the 10MP setting. Anything above 8 is totally fine. Don't let the number of MP sway his decision, it makes basically no difference!

so, can i sleep on someones floor? LOL i wont take up much space, and i wont disturb anyone with my snoring :laugh:

How's the nerve of this bloke? Never done a favour in his life and he wants a cold floor to sleep on!

Mate I'm sure there will be room in our accommodation for ya

Thanks for that Steve, yeah I'll have a play with them and see what I come up with. Yeah I'm only looking at entry level SLR's Pete, I'm no photographer, but I like to have a play, and some of my photos don't look half bad haha.

MattyT stay with us! We'll sort something out.

Done deal, will sort out leave from work soon enough

If people want fuel / tyres / shit taken over, we might sort something out in the way of a cage / box trailer hire for the weekend.

Might be doing the same, or at least getting a campsite to pitch a tent.

:)

I am sure anyone willing to rough it on a blow up mattress and bring their own sleeping bag will easily find a free place to sleep on someone's floor. I already have said MattR can sleep on Sled and my floor :)

    • 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.
