I'm pretty sure thats not why your renting at all..

but just to further show how little you know can you point out when exactly rates where 4.8%? dating back to 1959 i cant see any variable rates being offered below 5%

Don't have to inform them of a respray if it's the same colour or a variation/shade of it, but changes from red to yellow or green to black etc. need to be made known.

Whoopdy Farken Doo.. I was .50% off. I'm not an accountant nor a banker, I don't keep a track record of interest rates but i just say what I can recall. Just a couple years ago it was the 5% mark which was close enough to what I said.

oh ok, so you want rates to drop to where they did which further fuelled the credit binge and sky rocketed house prices? not to mention they were at that level for less than 12 months hardly worth hanging out for again to make life descisions..

australia is going through deleveraging and its a good thing, the RBA should stay out of it for the time being, we have the highest personal debt levels in the world its about time people started saving, which they are at record rates we went from spending 150% of our incomes to saving 10cents in the dollar within a 12-18 month period.

Trying not to come off as a nagging child although understandably suggestions are far easier to make after an event. I have not been to an official event before therefore I had no reference to suggest prior to this one.

I would be happy to volunteer, although when I try to provide constructive feedback to a 'Club Executive' it's taken as a complaint. It's a little difficult to want to volunteer when the absolute first step of the whole process, making suggestions as an attendee, is a grueling experience.

Not quite sure why I bothered giving a shit :(

Well I wasn’t talking about you – you aren’t a member. It’s the other usual suspects who complain after every event and never do anything about it.

I’m not viewing anything you’ve said as a complaint. Things can be improved, but that needs people to actually pitch in and do it.

Currently, there are none :)

This sums it up perfectly.

Anyone can spot problems, coming up with an actual solution to keep everyone happy is another thing. If you've got a solution, send it through... all committee is, a bunch of fellow members critiquing items and throwing ideas/input at it until a majority agree on something...because 10 minds are better than 1.

6 / 8 same same, same reason i didnt enter the sau nats one its just to long imo, clearly others dont have an issue with it which is fine but i'd be willing to bet you'd have a better turn out with a shorter time frame of mandatory attendance.

but im not knockin your events you guys do a good job considering its unpaid unloved work

We used to have people put their cars in for Autosalon for 3 days, all 40 of them. This was when the club had 150 odd members as well. Not the 300 we have not

The difference is it is 2011… And that means everyone

1. Would prefer to complain that something doesn’t work without offering a reasonable solution.

2. Wants the world to bend to their specific requirements and needs

Remember events need to cater for not just members… There is… Our Insurance, Councils (and their insurance), Private companies like local business…

Some events simply don’t happen easily and there is a massive level of piss-farting around that goes on, that until you’ve done it, you’d never know it existed.

No waiz.. what did you have back then?

Knew some people from Mccr, it's a shame they no longer exist. The club exec. was a dude with a black Mr2 and i believe he also had a powerful soarer

Such things always have a limited life span. Same as Vic Imports and other sub-divisions. If everyone stayed within the major clubs and stopped trying to splinter off.

The Melb car scene would be MUCH stronger than it currently is. Hence SAU is looking to a bit of rebranding in the next 12 months to sorta merge that up a bit

MCCR owner now owns StreetFX, and is involved with Firesport if I am not mistaken :)

We should enter autosalon the next time it's at the exhibition centre and have a massive sign that says 'SAU The normal cars'

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
